I was gonna ask that. Outdoors I wouldn't think it's an issue but indoors is a whole other ball of wax.

definitely outdoors.. lol

 

I have shot 40s&w 9mm 12gauge 7.62x39 223 outdoors WITHOUT ear plugs and honestly it is not smart but was VERY tolerable.. for some reason (maybe the brake or something, or the short 16in barrel?) this thing was REALLY loud.. it WAS outdoors but under cover.. maybe it just echoed a certain way or something.. but wow it actually startled me.. lol going to be looking for some decent inexpensive electronic ear muffs..

 

thanks for the link i think i missed that thread..

Was that trip really necessary?

Give it a few years and you will be deaf like the rest of us and it will no longer affect you.

Check into a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-0 ... 001T7QJ9O/ , they work really good, and are relatively inexpensive. For me they work good for rifle and pistol, but for shotgun I can't get a good enough cheek weld so I use disposable earplugs for trap.

+1 great bang for the buck (altho I can use them with a shotgun ok for the most part).

yea i really should have told you how loud that gun was.... my buddy had his ear muff slightly off on his head and had a problem hearing afterward.

thanks for the additional info!

it shoots great... with a new mount.. and random used scope.. it was dialed in with about 10 shots... then was really consistent.. feel like with some more practice it could be a pretty accurate gun.. it is painfully obvious the gun shoots better than I do.. lol

but even with all that said.. it is a BADASS gun.. lol

Do you consider the unnecessary noise level due to that particular gun or to the 308 round? I've been planning on picking up a few things in 308 (including possibly an AR10) and was curious.

 

Very nice looking gun Damagedworld.

think its a combination of a few things..

 

*over head canopy i shot under...

*poor quality plugs

*large caliber gun

*short barrel

*and possibly the brake

 

I think ALL those things together is what caused some strain on the ears.. lol I think with decent quality ear protection it would be perfectly manageable..

 

also thanks for the compliment.. its appreciated!

I want to say that its the compensator that makes it loud, that would be my guess.
