The Quietest Rifle Only Costs $350 

Check out Huusk Knives at huusk.club/Backfire where they're currently having a 70% off sale.

Silencers should be standard issue/mandatory for every firearm. There is absolutely no reason to have them classified as a controlled ATF item. Not only do they protect your hearing, but they also prevent you from annoying your neighbors.

This is the best suppressed weapon sound level demonstration video I have ever seen. Thumbs Up Given!

Very cool video. The highlight was the comparison of supersonic and subsonic ammo in the same rifle. I had no idea that breaking the sound barrier makes that big of a difference to the sound level!

It was also originally patented as a “silencer”. First sold in 1902 and patented in 1909 by Hiram Percy Maxim.

In Australia we can't have suppressors unless you're a contract shooter or a primary producer, and even then, they make it really hard to get! The reason we can't have them is because our government think it's like in the movies where the hit man shoots people and no one hears it🤦‍♂️ I really wish the term silencer wasn't used, I just want to be able to protect my hearing and increase my chances when hunting!

CVA Scout is basically a Bergara. Comes from the very same factory in the Basque country. In Europe the CVA Scout is sold branded as Bergara TD 13 (TD = take down)

I wouldn't use a break action single shot rifle for defense but still really cool how quiet that thing gets.

I didn't realize how badly I needed something in my life like this before, this is great!

Hunting is so much more pleasurable with a suppressed rifle, no blast, less recoil, quieter etc my Zastava 243 is laser accurate and easy to shoot and deadly.

Buddy of mine has an AR pistol in 300 blackout, with a big name brand suppressor. I was surprised that with supersonic ammo it was still uncomfortably loud. With subsonic ammo I think I could hear the gun cycling more than the round firing.

Interesting.. When I lost all of the hearing in my left ear the audiologist never told me that the left ear was more common. When you only have one working ear, you get really serious about hearing protection in the one that still works. Suppressors/silencers should not have the restrictions that they do, they save people's hearing. And I'm sorry but I have to mention it.. You said this is like a "don't shoot your eye out" pellet gun, and you're not wearing any eye protection. It took me years to get used to no hearing on one side, I'm sure it takes longer to get used to being blind on one side or possibly both, just sayin. Great video!

The first patented suppressor was the "Maxim Silencer" built by H.P. Maxim, son of machine-gun inventor H.S. Maxim. So if it's a Maxim, it's definitely a "Silencer". But, like Kleenex and Aspirin, the name is in universal use. Son had to follow dad's footsteps, his full name was Hiram Percy Maxim.

Cva is an excellent firearms manufacturer! Here in southern Ontario Canada most of where I white tail hunt is limited to shotgun and or muzzleloader. I use my Cva accura v2 with great success and it is one of my sweetest shooting firearms, I bought a Cva wolf for a little lighter tighter package with open sites and it’s just as good as the accura but 1/3 the cost! The scout is next o my list with zero hesitation once I can find it up here! Love the channel! Cheers from Canada eh 🍻🇨🇦👊

Pressure transducer inserted down into a gallon jug of water through the closed lid with the wire headed to it all wiggly-piggly can be used as a very very good comparator of shockwave energy, just aim the jug's flat side at the firing position. Cellphone microphones have input limiting features that cannot be turned off.

I love your excitement and great knowledge. I can’t believe how quiet that .300blk is out of a break action!

Great Educational Video Yet!!!! This should be shown as a Hearing protection too, for suppressors to have no control!

Your dads Absolutely correct. I was in the infantry for a decade every friend including myself have hearing loss in that ear from not using earplugs in combat and that’s the exact reason I was given by the hearing conservation officer in charge of the west coast before I got out

I love my 300 blackout CVA. I don’t own a suppressor, but I deer hunt with it. I have a Vortex red dot which I put at the front of the rail. That allows me to carry the gun one-handed at the balance point. It is a superb rifle for short range, thick woods deer stalking. The Barnes 110 grain TTSX ammo is phenomenal in this little rifle.

I enjoyed you laughing like a kid more than anything else. Thanks for an informative video.

you're bang on about the left ear deafness, I did 9 years in the army using the FN 7.62 and Ive mid range damage but my right ear is ok

The original patent (Hiram P. Maxim) was for a "silencer", not a "suppressor"; "suppressor" might be more descriptive, but "silencer" is more correct. Personally, I use both, occasionally in the same sentence.

I bought a brand new H & R like this one in 30-30 caliber for $49.95 in 1975 and for $20 more you got the 20 gauge shotgun barrel to go with it. The rifle barrel was drilled and tapped for scope mounts.

Imagine putting a $800 suppressor on a $350 gun lol

I believe blackout was for 'close quaters' and so ballistic coeficient (BC) was never a factor in loads. That is lucky as when you download a bullet, it may never get into the range of bullet effiency, and so will be further range limited. So with the .30 cal projectile you will still have hitting power due to sectional density of the bullet, but you better have stamina and be good at stalking to get a second shot, as the bullet will probably not expand due to its low power rating. Power = mass times speed, a where speed has been sacrificed to get low sound.

The first shot was 82 decibels not 93.1 when it hit the steel it jumps to 93.1 but the sound from the rifle firing is 82.0 decibels , I could be wrong but I played it in slow motion and that's what it appears to be and the steel hitting noise was louder even though it is farther away

It should be called a suppressor for branding reasons. Silencers are scary john wick silent killers. Suppressors should be legal to own because they’re a safety tool to prevent hearing damage

I like how you kept it simple for everyone to understand and hopefully accept the concept of using suppressors in everyday use. Got the B/O bullets mixed up, but hey, stuff's gonna happen.

I like the way you go back and forth, back and forth between the pellet gun and your silenced rifle.

You should have shown the other big benefit. You can take down the CVA and it fits in a standard backpack!

This was one of the best and informative videos I have seen!! Great job. I am buying one ASAP.

That's great! Thanks for posting.

I have an Encore with a Bergara barrel and a Harvester silencer and its just about as loud with a subsonic as it is with a standard velocity round! These are both Hornady factory loads! I dont think they put any baffles in the silencer!!

When the cva scout 8.6 blackout is released........ I'm getting one asap!

I have a similar setup with a Ruger bolt action and a Sig can using Maker all copper bullets for suburban deer control and it's a quite deadly combination to 100yds.

The loudest sound produced by a spring powered air rifle is the spring hitting the stop at the end of the chamber after trigger release. It is a very mechanical noise and very loud with some airguns. That is the sound in the video: spring impact not gas pushing a projectile. But, that said, it's a good demonstration and I do like CVA Scout.

Suppressors are actually used to keep muzzle flash from giving away enemy position and has a added bonus to reduce noise.

I love my suppressor from Dead Air. I paid $1,000 for it and my 6.5 creedmoor is so pleasant to shoot without ears on. It honestly sounds like a .22

I use my 6.5creed suppressed and it’s fine for hunting without ear pro if you fire only 1 time. Silencers are awesome

Nice video. You might have added a dry fire to compare the sound with and without the added cartridge noise. And maybe with and without the suppressor.

I like 300BLK, but...if you like subsonic suppressed, consider the 338 Spectre if you have a reloading press. Uses 6.5 Grendel BCG, 10mm magnum pistol cases, and 338 bullets. 225gr-300gr

2:20 LOL! I love seeing channels like yours grow. I've been really enjoying your review and tips videos.

I've ran a 300 blackout full auto suppressed with subsonic ammo. Even then it was super quite. Great video and thanks for the link for the knives.

Really well done video, thanks!

A doctor/researcher friend said the left ear deafness was caused by driving with the window down. Also said that over 50% of those he studied never shot a weapon at all.

I have shot a lot of 300 blackout in my AR with a suppressor. It is really quiet with the subsonic, but when shooting hogs it just punches holes and doesn’t knock them down. I have switched to the 6.5 Grendel for hogs. It’s not nearly as quiet , but great knock down power. Also 300 blackout subsonic is really a short range round it drops like a rock after 80 yards

300 blackout is cool but it's for gas guns originally chambered in 5.56. For a strictly subsonic rifle, I'd go with a much larger bore like .45 - .50, a very short barrel, and a very long silencer. Instead of 180-220 grain bullets at 1050fps, you can have 500-700 grain bullets at 1050fps

Nice to hear just springs and action! I did a large diesel oil filter on my Marlin .22 semi-auto rifle and used subsonic ammo, I've never heard a gun so quiet. In fact it was very similar to the last in this video but I tested in my living room! I can assure you my .22 was more silent. All you heard was a spring loaded firing pin smacking, then the bolt opening and closing on the partially expelled round and a knock sound from the round hitting a 2x4, there were no other associated sounds! FYI, the sub ammo did about as much damage to a 2x4 as my 1250fps .177cal pellet rifle but with zero 'gun fire' sound. I typically silence my airguns too! - My go to fast & effective air rifle silencer is hella simple; Place a roll of TP over the barrel. (Squeeze it first to get a better fit if needed) Pull off about 4ft of TP and shove it into the TP roll opening. (Place portion of tape over to keep TP shreds in as needed. Personally I enjoy the shreds blasting out!) Done. I used this method for years while eradicating finches unsuccessfully! Once I loaded 3 BB's in my Crossman and pumped it 13x, the finch I hit just disappeared, ceased to exist, nothing left but a few feathers floating and a red spat mark behind it! I hunted from the front of the house 2nd storey in a typical neighborhood in silicon valley! 10x to 30x a day! (Finch tree was a very large Yucca plant 15-20ft from the window.) Cool thing about the Yucca is that small things dying in it stay in it! Very very very few birds landed for the kitty. (Poor kitty had to brave the sharp edges to get a kill.) - A more permanent solution was a narrow bottle (like IceWater or whatever sparkling fruity water it is!?!?!) 1. Trim a long narrow notch into the threaded area side of the bottle and fill bottle with as much light tissue as possible without packing it too too tight. 2. Use pipe clamp to attach to muzzle (make sure clamp & bottle are not affecting target sighting, rotate and angle as needed. 3. Take a full powered shot once you confirm there is adequate venting. (Perhaps from the thread notch you cut. If not, poke a BB or half BB sized hole in it somewhere.) 4. When you shoot it you'll find the exit location. Use method of choice to open a small hole around the exit hole. This exit hole changes so make your hole about dime to quarter size. 5. Cover exit area with a good piece of heavy tape or a couple layers of light tape. This will reduce the amount of TP poof puff that blows out and will keep the big hole closed with exception of the little one in use and maintain the pressure/sound. - I don't think most people need to fully silence an airgun unless shooting indoors with mom home! The fast TP roll method is fast install and fast uninstall, limits sound greatly outdoors and the loose TP doesn't affect shot performance almost at all. Eventually after a few rounds the BB's bore out (blow out!) their path through the TP and shot to shot performance is maintained. I can't say anything else will be as effective and cheap or as easy!

There is a buddy of mine who made a 6.5 Grendel with a 20in barrel with a Suppressor ranging about 71db with Subs, extremely quiet

Literally the action makes more sound that the round does. I love subsonic rounds and cans.

My 300 blackout AR suppressed with subsonic is pretty quiet the brass ejecting and hitting the tailgate of the truck is actually louder than the round when it fires

I respect your integrity, for still keep that promo part. Huusk has been busted many many times in knife community, and lots sponsored content creators have taken down their promo video.

I have done quite a bit of testing in this area. The one thing he didn't touch on is that the foot pounds of energy delivered at the target is dramatically reduced with subsonic ammo. What my team quickly figured out is you want to use the heaviest bullet you can get in what ever caliber you want to make quiet. Then load the charge to put is just below sonic speed and as he states. Use a single shot rifle. We have managed to shoot almost any caliber what we call "Hollywood quiet" Just like in the movies

love how you say it will take down a deer with energy ~478 ftlbs. i totally agree but all your other videos its 1000ftlbs for deer 1500 for elk ....9mm only had 300-400ftlbs i think thats plenty its more about accuracy/ shot placement problem is most people can't accurately shoot some of the lighter stuff

So jealous you found a CVA Scout. I’ve been looking for one of those all summer

Does your dad, as an AuD, have hearing protection he likes for wearing in the field (upland bird, turkey, grouse,etc.) where quick shooting is often necessary? (No time to put hearing protection in…) Would love to know your thoughts/his thoughts on this.

Curious about the CVA accuracy? Was looking into one for deer season in straight wall country. Obviously straight walls aren't great for accuracy but inside 200 yards is the use-case.

c_air = 331.3 × √(1 + T/273.15), where T is the air temperature in °C. This formula returns speed in m/s.

great video! fascinating single shot rifle you presented! thank you!

Most semi-autos are louder than single actions, bolt actions, lever actions, and pump rifles. One of the main reasons is because of either flash hiders and muzzle brakes which increase the volume of the decibels.

Wow!!! I wanna see some tests done. Like a penetration test, a muzzle energy test, and a hydro-shock test. To see how useful it actually is. Great video though! Thanks for sharing a cool weapon.

Awsome, would love to hear your thoughts on the 8,6 blackout.

I have 4 300 blk. The CVA is one of them, with my YHM can and sub 200gr Makers it’s crazy quiet. Several years into the suppressed 300 game and I still giggle with every shot. When you shoot a deer you can hear the round contact the meat.

You can hear the hammer spring ringing/ vibrating on the subsonic supressed 300 blk.

Really interesting video, in the UK we call them silencers or sound moderators and are interchangeable. When you picked up the 300 toward end of the video, I thought he hasn't cocked it - twice

I have the scout in .350 legend. Great gun for the money! I still need to pick up a silencer for it and make it even sweeter.

Solid video, and timely. I just had a 300BO bolt action built out of an old Rem700 I had laying around. Can confirm, crazy quiet!

I do like the blackout. But I shot a deer at 160 yards with factory Hornady sub-x 190gr subsonic. It hit and broke the front shoulder but didn't penitrate past the bone. I'm not sure if a different bullet would make a difference or not. Maybe one that doesn't expand as much. But the energy is so low I quit hunting with subs.

I am using Mead subsonic in my Sig Cross 308 and love how quite it is.. Not the power I would like though... and I bought 4 of the knifes and sheaths, cost me $134.00 and will be x mas gifts for buddies...

I have 3 of the cva scouts 6.5 creed,.444 marlin ,300 blk and they are great accurate guns. I got mine before the rona hit and they were 250 bucks on gun broker

Dude thats insane. Thank you for doing this review buddy most guys are too cool to review a single shot rifle. Theyre stupid. Ur cool. Keep it up.

Just ran across this video. I bought a CVA .300BO about a year ago and just got my Rugged Razor suppressor approved this week. Nice to know what to expect!

That rifle looks so cool! Very minimalist in mechanics and styling and of course super quiet when using subsonics.

It would be interesting to shoot the subsonic ammo into gel, to get an idea of stopping power. Also bullet drop at 100, 200 and 300 yards.

Great video! 300 blk subs are very similar to .45ACP ballistically (~200GR ~1000fps) and 300blk supers are very similar to 7.62x39. For my tastes I'd rather have a suppressed .45acp and save on ammo costs if you care about noise and a 7.62ar or ak to save on ammo if you care about terminal performance.

In most United States that you can use riffle, the Subsonic is not leagal for Deer but could be for Coyote where as a Sonic is what is needed for deer/big enough slug is needed.

That was Awesome, thank you.

Very well done video. Awesome comparison side by side. You just gained a loyal subscriber my friend.

I have one in 350 Legend. It's a great, and accurate gun.

Although I am not a 300blk fan, I run the same thing with my .350legend. Its AR so you do hear the slide racking but the guy next to me thought I was shooting a compressed airgun.

Great video thanks

Heard one quieter than that once. Guy had a Ruger 9644 lever action in 44mag with an integral suppressed barrel....looked like a short real fat bull barrel. Load it up with 44 special...which is subsonic...and the only thing you could hear....and only if you had elephant ears, was the tick of the firing pin hitting the primer.

I have an old CVA black powder 189something 44 csl navy pistol. I bought it as a kit back in 1983, I have put over 1000 rounds through it. I love this gun.

So i ordered a couple of these knifes with the leather sheath and i gifted them to my cousins when in Europe this last December. They are being put to good use butchering a lot of wild and domestic game in the Carpathian Mountains 🏔️ of northern Romania 🇷🇴.

Good job with your comparisons,

Clickbait... That suppressor costs WAY more than $350 lmao

The 300 Blackout actually sounds like a cork gun! That was a toy in the 1960's that I haven't seen since the 60's! The cork was on a string. You cocked the gun, popped the cork out of the barrel and stuck it back in again!

Thanks for the knife promo. It has a concave blade curve. Get them to put a convex curve on that blade and I'm in.

You was having a lot of fun with that, being in the UK we can own firearms but I spent a long time travelling and they took my license off me. Now I only get to watch you guys shooting these fun firearms.

I'm gonna probably be the bad guy here. I'm unsure that a subsonic 300 Blackout is the correct choice for a deer beyond 75-100 yards. Had two bad experiences with it this year, my neighbor shot a doe that ran 1000+ yards onto my property, i found her still alive and alert, required a final shot from me with a 308. Next one was a 200 ish lb boar hog, neighbors son shot it with an identical subsonic load, again made it on to my property where I found it and took a finishing shot with my 260. I run all my hunting rifles suppressed and run supersonics through all of them. I see much quicker taking of game with supersonic vs subsonic.

You need more barrel twist with sub-sonic rounds. It will make them more accurate and take away the bullet sound a bit more. I only have one AR that I can shoot sub-sonic rounds out of accurately, the others don't have enough twist. This is really something to think about when you purchase a rifle.

Great demo!!

You can do the same thing with a 308 bolt gun and subs. It's still much less effective on deer though as you are missing all the hydro that does most of the instant killing. Don't get me wrong it does work but nowhere near as well.

That 300 blackout looks so fun!

The BEST part of this video... ...is your laughter. Pure joy makes my day.

I have lost a lot of hearing in my left ear. I have never known why until your video. Thanks to you and your dad!

As for the left ear thing, I drive a semi and have also noticed I'm losing hearing in my left ear, I suspect more from driving with my window open than from shooting. A semi goin down the highway with window open is loud! But like a dog I gotta have the window open lol

Hey.... you know the 45 ACP shoots a 230 grain bullet at subsonic speeds .... super powerful just like the 208 grain subsonic 300Blackout ....

I honestly think that 300 Blackout with a suppressor is the future, assuming prices for ammo come down and suppressors become easier to obtain

That is awesome. Very cool. Thank you for the video.
