For caliber .308, we recommend the Stalon X108 for driven hunting, or XS108 if you prefer a shorter over-barrel design. For stand hunting, the Stalon XE149 is the best choice for maximum sound and recoil reduction, with the X149 as a slightly shorter alternative. The performance difference between these options is around 2 dBc, which is inaudible to the human ear.
The .308 Winchester is one of the most versatile hunting cartridges available, offering manageable recoil, excellent accuracy, and broad applicability across different hunting styles. Selecting the right suppressor for .308 is therefore mainly about matching compactness and balance with the desired level of sound and recoil reduction.
At Stalon, our silencers are developed through practical hunting experience. Below are our recommendations for .308, based on typical real-world hunting scenarios.
Sound reduction measured in this caliber. A different barrel length or load gives a different figure — the numbers are a starting point for the conversation with your dealer.
Every X-series silencer is a front and a back part. The front is what sits in front of the muzzle, and it is the same length on every model that carries it — a 108 is 108 millimetres whether it sits on an XS, an X or an XE. What changes is the telescopic back part that sits over the barrel: how much of the silencer you get back without making the rifle longer.
The front piece can be swapped later, so the same back part can go from a 108 to a 149 without changing the rifle. The muzzle thread sits in the back-end — your dealer matches that to your rifle.
During driven hunts, rifle balance, quick handling, and reduced overall length are crucial. For these situations, the Stalon X108 offers an effective combination of suppression and compact design, allowing the rifle to remain agile and easy to handle.
For hunters who prefer an even shorter backend, the Stalon XS108 provides very similar performance. The difference in sound reduction between X108 and XS108 is approximately 3 dBc, measured in .308 Winchester. The choice is therefore mainly about ergonomics and personal preference.
For stand hunting, where mobility is less important and maximum noise reduction is the priority, the Stalon XE149 is the preferred option. It delivers excellent sound and recoil reduction, helping improve comfort, shot control, and hearing protection during longer sessions.
In .308 Winchester, the XE149 achieves around 34.5 dBc sound reduction. If a slightly shorter configuration is desired, the Stalon X149 offers nearly identical performance, again with a difference of roughly 2 dBc, which is inaudible to the human ear.
When selecting a silencer for .308 WIN, the key factors are balance, overall length, and the level of sound and recoil reduction required for your hunting style. Compact setups favor mobility and fast handling, while longer configurations prioritize maximum suppression. Within these parameters, small differences in measured sound reduction are negligible in real-world use, making ergonomics and intended application the decisive factors.

The models above are the ones we recommend for this caliber. The rest of the range is built for other cartridges and other rifles.
For driven hunting the Stalon X108, or the XS108 if you want a shorter over-barrel design. For stand hunting the XE149, with the X149 as a slightly shorter alternative.
Measured in .308 Winchester it is about 3 dBc between the XS108 and the X108, and about 2 dBc between the X149 and the XE149. Two dBc is not perceptible to the human ear.
The front is the same — only the telescopic back part over the barrel differs. XS is the shortest and most flexible, X is the standard back part, and XE is the longest and the most efficient. A longer back part gives more silencer without making the rifle longer in front of the muzzle.
