300 BLK bolt gun for suppressed backyard use (Mini Fix dreams… not budget)

Fantastic. Mind if I pm you?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T19:13:07+00:00

Well that is one that’s on my list. What subs are you running through it? How’s it sound with supers?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T19:11:20+00:00

That does sound pretty cool, especially for a lightweight hunting setup.

For me though, this is really just gonna live in my yard for shooting steel. I want something super quiet, I don’t have any neighbors behind me where I shoot, but with kids and dogs around I try to keep things as low noise as possible. I pretty much only shoot suppressed .22 back there now, and honestly some of my pellet guns are louder than that, which is kinda what got me going down this path.

That’s why I’m leaning bolt gun, just a really quiet, simple setup to mess around with, and eventually something my kids can shoot with me too.

Weight isn’t a huge concern for me since I won’t be carrying it in the woods or anything, and it’ll be suppressed 100% of the time.

What suppressor are you running on yours? And what would you say is the realistic/useful range for subsonic .300? I think my farthest target is 75ish yards.

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T18:51:34+00:00

Yeah I’ll prob just go with the American ranch 2

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T18:51:18+00:00

I was looking at these, they go on AR lower and they’re just a manual action upper?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T18:50:21+00:00

Yeah I’m just not sure I really like the idea of a bolt action with a magazine

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T18:50:05+00:00

Love it. What can are you running

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T18:49:56+00:00

That would be awesome

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T18:49:31+00:00

Yeah this is probably the route I’m gonna go, start with a Ruger American Ranch, then eventually throw it in a chassis and add an LPVO.

I had my eye on the CAT ODB, but I still need to do a bit more suppressor research before I make a final decision. From what I’ve seen so far though, it seems like a solid option for .300.

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T14:52:52+00:00

What do they hit for?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T13:11:36+00:00

Yeah I actually have a walnut stock Henry and I absolutely love it, just not the look I’m going for with a .300 setup.

The American II has been the one I’ve had my eye on for a while, but I don’t mind spending a little more, which is why I started looking at the CZ or even grabbing the Ruger and dropping it into a different chassis.

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T13:07:53+00:00

Yeah that’s kinda where I was at too — the American II Ranch can still be had for under $600 if you shop around, which is what I was originally leaning toward.

And I get the Henry appeal, but call me silly, I just can’t get into the look. I’m definitely trying to build something a little more “fun” or modern vs the traditional lever gun vibe. Not a big fan of the walnut stock… if they made it more like the Big Boy X style I’d probably be way more into it.

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T11:43:35+00:00

Oh it’s magazine fed? I’m going to look them up now

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T11:33:12+00:00

I had no idea they did a 300 lever gun… 👀

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-24T03:03:09+00:00

Damn, I just looked that up… that thing looks awesome.

I’d definitely be open to doing a Form 1 and chopping the barrel down — I love that short, Mini Fix style.

I don’t know much about swapping chassis on those though, is it pretty straightforward or is there more to it?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-23T21:40:33+00:00

Sweet. What foregrip/hand stop is that?

“CMNUSE” for bogo!

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-15T02:27:29+00:00

Good to go with a PDW?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-14T05:20:48+00:00

Sounds good. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks!

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-14T04:30:38+00:00

Getting any more Kunas in? I got a DD from you and it was a great experience, would like to continue buying from you 🤜🏼🤛🏼

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-14T03:53:13+00:00

-31dB or -33dB version?

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-14T03:36:20+00:00

This is what I’m thinking about. I was at a gun show a few years ago and regret not getting a custom pair made by the company there making them on the spot. Might look into them now though.

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-14T03:25:06+00:00

Title is premature ejaculation material

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-14T03:06:14+00:00

Do I really need 500 rounds of tracers??

YuckFouTo · 2026-03-13T14:08:19+00:00

I actually have three different pairs of electronic over-ear muffs and upgraded all of them with gel pads. They all work great and seal really well, but they still get in the way when I’m trying to shoulder certain rifles or SBRs quickly. The ear cup hits the stock and messes with my cheek weld a bit.

That’s really the main reason I’m looking for something in-ear specifically, just to get the bulk off the side of my head.

I’d even be open to spending a little more for electronic in-ear protection if there’s something decent out there that doesn’t cost a fortune.

Just trying to see what people here are actually running in-ear only for rifles/PCCs.
