Top 3: the best suppressors for tight high stands and driven hunts

Rifles with a short overall length are more comfortable to handle, are less likely to bump into things, and thus allow not only easier use in tight high stands, but also quicker follow-up shots. This is where suppressors with a particularly short overall length come into their own. Since their efficiency is particularly high in the portion in front of the muzzle, achieving a high noise reduction is a technical challenge. At the same time, the diameter of the suppressor must not be too large for driven hunts in order to impair the field of view as little as possible.
