Kat Ainsworth
If you own a .30 Caliber rifle or are considering getting your first .30 Caliber rifle, you’re aware of their fantastic versatility. They’re used for precision shooting, hunting, self-defense, and home defense — and they’re even better suppressed.
This raises questions about the best suppressor for your needs and the available options. Our list of the top .30 Caliber suppressors, categorized by their best use will help. Whether you’re a seasoned owner or a potential buyer, this guide takes the guesswork out of choosing the right suppressor for your .30 Caliber rifle.
Hunting and Precision Shooting: Scythe-Ti
For a truly lightweight suppressor that’s ideal for hunting and constructed entirely from titanium, there’s the Scythe-Ti. This suppressor is the first of its kind of SilencerCo and is made for superior overall performance across a range of calibers, making it a fantastic option for hunters.
The Scythe-Ti is a .30 Caliber suppressor that’s quite versatile and is compatible with calibers from 223 Remington to 300 RUM. It’s designed for use with semi-automatic and bolt-action rifles. It’s not rated for full-auto fire.
The Scythe-Ti is 6.16 inches long and weighs 7.3 ounces. It’s fully welded and features a single-point anchor brake, titanium direct thread mount, and oil-rubbed finish.
This is a suppressor without barrel restrictions that’s capable of stellar versatility. And, of course, it’s incredibly lightweight. The suppressor ships with a radial tool, Bravo tool, basic tool, 5/8×24 titanium direct thread mount, and .30 cal aluminum single-port anchor brake.
Best All-Around: Omega 300 DT
Want a .30 caliber suppressor that can do it all? Then the SilencerCo Omega 300 DT might be ideal for your needs. This suppressor is full-auto and magnum-rated, so it can handle more extreme heat and rapid rates of fire. Whether you’re running your rifle at the range or out in the woods and fields, the Omega 300 DT can take it.
Thanks to the Omega 300 DT’s overall length of 7 inches, it remains maneuverable and doesn’t interfere with the overall balance of your rifle. This is also an important feature for a suppressor you might mount to a rifle you intend to carry potentially long distances, because it must be transportable. And because it weighs 12.6 ounces, this all-around suppressor provides just enough weight to fit the balance and design of the average .30 caliber rifle.
This suppressor is made using titanium, stainless steel, and Cobalt-6. These metals are known for toughness and resistance to extremes, making it the ideal blend for an all-around suppressor. The Omega 300 DT is fully welded and great for everything from carbines to precision rifles.
Best SBR / Full Auto: Chimera 300
Short-barreled rifles (SBRs) are great for everything from use as truck guns to hunting to home defense, and that’s just for a start. Whether your SBR is full-auto or semi-auto, the Chimera 300 is a great option for suppression. This full-auto rated suppressor has a fully welded, stainless steel tube and baffles made from inconel and cobalt-6, both of which are excellent materials for the heat and stress of full-auto fire.
The Chimera 300 DT is a versatile suppressor that can be used on calibers ranging from 223 Remington to 300 Win Mag. It’s compatible with Charlie ASR Mounts, Charlie Direct Thread mounts, and various other ASR mounts and muzzle devices. SBRs are well known for the heat and pressure they can generate, especially with full-auto fire, and the Chimera 300 is made to withstand it. It has an overall length of 6.08 inches and a weight of 15.07 ounces and a diameter of 1.57 inches. Thanks to its shorter length it won’t add unwieldy length to your SBR’s overall dimensions.
Best Versatility (Do It All): Omega 36M and Hybrid 46M
If you require a truly versatile .30 caliber suppressor, check out the SilencerCo Omega 36M and Hybrid 46M. These are multi-caliber capable suppressors that offer modularity above and beyond what most can manage.
Omega 36M
The Omega 36M is great for multiple platforms such as pistols, submachine guns, and rifles, and it does it all without losing anything when it comes to performance. This suppressor’s modularity means you can remove its front section to create a shorter, lighter platform and it will still deliver stellar sound suppression. It’s a fantastic .30 caliber suppressor that’s rated for up to 338 Lapua Magnum and even works with the popular 350 Legend.
Regarding compatibility with barrel lengths, the Omega 36M is designed to handle 10 inch barrels in calibers as small as 223 Remington, 16 inch barrels in 308 Win, and 20 inch barrels in 300 Win Mag and 338 Lapua Magnum. It has a length of 4.90 or 6.85 inches and weight of 9.8 ounces to 12.5 ounces.
Hybrid 46M
The Hybrid 46M is another modular suppressor and is made to work well with most rifles as well as many pistols and submachine guns. It suppresses centerfire pistol rounds well and handles big-bore rifle calibers like 45-70 Government. And for .30 caliber, it’s rated up to 338 Lapua Magnum.
This suppressor ships with a Charlie 30 cal Front Cap, among other components, making it perfect for running with 30 cal guns. It’s full-auto rated in both its shorter and longer configuration. The Hybrid 46M measures between 5.78 inches and 7.72 inches and weighs between 12.2 ounces and 14.9 ounces, depending on configuration.
Best Hard Use Suppressor: Velos LBP 762
If you intend to utilize your suppressor for hard use, check out the Velos LBP 762. This model features the latest low back pressure technology for the purpose of reducing blowback — something that can be an issue when shooting suppressed — and delivers excellent suppression as well. It’s made for calibers up to 30 caliber and is the most durable design Silencerco has created to date.
The Velos LBP 762’s strength is in its design and the material it’s made from. The suppressor is constructed utilizing a 3D-printed Inconel 625 core for superior heat resistance and strength. It’s fully welded to the front and rear modules, which are made from 17-4 stainless steel.
This model is compatible with Charlie accessories and is full-auto rated. Perhaps best of all, it has no barrel length restrictions. The Velos LBP 762 is 5.98-inches long and weighs 15.2 ounces. This is a hard use suppressor designed to not only meet but surpass the needs of dedicated shooters.
