Thread: Silencer question

So, Been looking high and low at hundreds of guns and thanks to you lads I'm sold on getting a .308!

Anyway, I'm looking at a package and if spend pretty much 400 more It comes with a 3-9x40 scope and an over barrel detachable suppressor.. Is it worth the extra bit of saving? Do suppressors really make that much difference? I've never seen a firearm used with one in person and its bloody hard to tell on a video. I'm guessing that since a .308 is supersonic it would still create a loud snap from breaking the sound barrier.

Am I better off getting the rifle on its own and just getting a scope separately? The rifle in question is a savage axis.

(Sorry if I sound like an idiot for any reason, This will be my first firearm.. I'm only young!)
