Quick Answer
Rifle suppressors for hunters typically cost between $600 to $2,000, depending on the make, model, and features.
Choosing the Right Suppressors for Hunting
When selecting a suppressor for hunting, consider the type of firearm, caliber, and intended use. For example, a 5.56 NATO or .223 Remington suppressor may be a good choice for varmint hunting, while a .308 Winchester or 6.5 Creedmoor suppressor is better suited for larger game. Look for suppressors with a good balance of sound reduction, weight, and durability.
Factors Affecting Suppressors Costs
Several factors can impact the cost of a suppressor, including the make, model, and features. Some high-end suppressors, such as those with advanced materials or designs, can cost upwards of $2,000. On the other hand, more basic models may start around $600. Additionally, the cost of a suppressor can also depend on the type of threading required for the barrel, with some threads (such as 1/2x28) being less expensive than others (such as 5/8x24).
Barrel Threading and Installation
To install a suppressor, the barrel of the rifle must be threaded to match the suppressor’s attachment type. Common threading types include 1/2x28, 5/8x24, and 9/16x24. The cost of threading can vary depending on the type of threading and the gunsmith or shop doing the work. On average, threading can cost anywhere from $50 to $200, depending on the complexity of the job and the location.
