    Any point to suppressing a 30.06?

    So I have this Tikka 3006 that has my ears ringing for days after firing a shot in the bush without hearing protection. I would like to have something quieter, so my options seem to be to suppress or trade down to a smaller cartridge and suppress that.

    I have noticed that some people who make suppressors hedge a bit on the effectiveness of cans for larger calibers (eg, 10% noise reduction)...Is it even possible to effectively suppress rifles around the 3006 range (where 'effective' means taking away the roar but not the supersonic crack)? And if so, would someone like Canterbury Gunworks be able to do it?

    Thanks,
    Zippy
