I would bet very few hunters use ear plugs as it is - I would bet the percentage is very low - at the range or recreation - different story!

The rifle choice is terrible and the 'can' looks and limits the rifle way more than it is worth.

Well, i can understand why one would like a 'can' so for to reduce noise of ignition, but i will never ever do such. Nor would i want to own that rifle with/without the 'can'. It is easy for me to have disdain for the rifle, and can, because, for me, there is a better solution.

When i hunt, i always use this hearing protection/amplification. Certainly can't hear as good as a deer, but it helps, and my rifle is so very much nicer. ☺

problem with amplified hearing protection is that every squirrel sounds like a deer or bigger, and i found it was harder to hear the direction the noise is coming from.

not to mention here in tn you will be sweating your ears off in the early season hunts

Yet again, I think you would very a few number of HUNTERS using ear plugs while hunting. There are expectations to this, if you might be a hunter in a contained hunting shelter ect...

This still remains a big problem - This ML is so limited by load and bullet. Pretty much all the approved bullets are premium priced and so is the BH209.

For me, amplified hearing protection allows me to hear squirrels, and birds, and deer, and whatever; i enjoy hearing all the critter moving, and talking, very very much. Not long ago the sounds of migrating Sand Hill Crane caught my attention; that was fun. Thousands it seemed there were. In fact i enjoy listening to all the critter so much, i always have the amplified hearing protection in place when out amongst them, which includes hot summer weather. She never told me my ears were gone; i presume they didn't sweat off.

im not affiliated with silencerco or any other company, i bought the Maxim 50 to shorten the wait for my Gemtech tracker.
I made some Youtube videos, and the only thing i might be pushing is my youtube channel

The use of suppressors while hunting is legal and encouraged in many European countries, including Scandinavia and the UK.

“…Suppressors are legal to own and hunt with throughout many countries in Europe and elsewhere. Finland is one. So are Norway and Sweden. And in the UK their use is mandatory in some cases…”--->>> https://www.outdoorlife.com/blogs/gu...t-gun-law-ever

Here's a 24 second video of a guy shooting the Maxim .50 and hitting a 3' x 3' gong at 300 yards:
