The 5 Best 7.62 Suppressors in 2024

The 7.62 cartridge is undeniably one of the most popular rounds on the market, and it’s been that way for quite some time. Even with the ammo shortages of 2020 and 2021 driving up costs, 7.62 has remained relatively affordable compared to other calibers.

The only thing more fun than shooting 7.62 guns is shooting 7.62 guns with a suppressor attached. Of course, there are a lot of options to choose from, which leaves people asking what is the best 7.62 suppressor? Who makes the best 7.62 suppressor? How do I pick the right 7.62 suppressor? And why are all 7.62 suppressors not created equal?

We’ll answer all of that here. Let’s dive right in and start looking at the wonderful and sometimes confusing world of 7.62 suppressors. If you’d prefer to skip around or just see the highlights, check out the links and table below.

How to Choose a 7.62 Suppressor

No two people want the same thing out of a suppressor, and it’s no different when it comes to picking one for the 7.62 cartridge. Some want a user-serviceable suppressor no matter the cost. Others want the absolute quietest one on the market. Even the idea of “the best” 7.62 suppressor for the money is sometimes hard to pin down unless you have exact needs to check all the right boxes.

We know from nearly two decades of silencer sales what sells best for us and our customers. For instance, there is one 7.62 suppressor that, no matter how hard we try, we simply cannot keep in inventory because it is so popular. There is another that is widely sold because of its more affordable cost that hits a sweet spot of sorts of price and performance for budget-minded shoppers. And we’ve also got a user-serviceable 7.62 suppressor that is also the industry leader for multi-caliber uses.

All of these 7.62 suppressors are “the best” for our customers for many different reasons, ranging from price to performance. So we’ve approached the idea of choosing the 7.62 suppressor that is right for you based on a few different designs and price features.

Our best overall 7.62 suppressor is based on sales numbers and features. We use similar objective criteria focused on consumer demand and published specs to determine the leading 7.62 suppressor in other categories as well.

It’s important to note that a lot of cartridges share the same parents, so not everything on this list is dedicated to 7.62 rounds. For example, 7.62 and .308 are in the same family, so you’ll see some .30 caliber cans on here that are perfectly suited for your 7.62 needs.

So let’s go ahead and start digging into this so you can decide what the best 7.62 suppressor is for you and your rifle!

The Best Overall 7.62 Suppressor (BANISH 30)

We are quite proud of our BANISH 30 suppressor. Now you might think it’s cheating to put our own product here, but since we literally designed it to be the most versatile .30 cal suppressor that can be used with 7.62 rounds, we feel confident putting it where our engineers intended.

The Best Overall QD 7.62 Suppressor (Dead Air Sandman-S)

Because it is a common tactical and military cartridge, we expect most 7.62 shooters to have some sort of semi-auto rifle, sometimes with an NFA-regulated short barrel. With that in mind, we looked for a suppressor designed for those kinds of gun owners.

The Dead Air Sandman-S is so wildly popular we literally cannot even keep it in stock. They fly off of shelves everywhere! If you want one, drop us a line so we can secure you one as more inventory comes available. Designed for tactical rifles yet rated for pounding magnum cartridges, the Dead Air Sandman is suitable for use on anything from 5.56mm to .300 Winchester Magnum rifles. With desirable features like quick detach mounting and a removable end cap to reveal an integrated flash hider, it is no wonder we can’t keep this 7.62 suppressor in stock!

The Best Value 7.62 Suppressor (YHM Resonator)

Most of us aren’t made of money. If cost is your bottom line for choosing a suppressor, then look no further than the Yankee Hill Machine Resonator R2 suppressor. YHM created the R2 with the intent to provide shooters of all types with a quiet and cost-effective silencer.  The R2 can be used on calibers ranging from .17HMR through 300 RUM.

Making things even better, YHM redesigned the Resonator that we tested, and this is the Resonator R2, which is even better than before. This suppressor uses a tubeless design made of stainless steel with an Inconel blast baffle, which means it’s also rated for full auto performance.

Compatible with other YHM mounts and QD adapters, you won’t have to buy extra accessories if you’ve already got a YHM suppressor. Plus, it’s an extremely affordable suppressor for what you’re getting.

Advantages

• Recently redesigned for even better overall performance.
