I run 22 subsonic and 300 BLK subsonic but the only hunting I would do is close range predator removal near a residence at night with the 300 BLK.
I guess after being around jet engines for 30 years I can't hear JS anyway so what's 2 Db?
Purely a selling point... I've heard it before, "quietest suppressor or your money back." Personal experience, a guy told me, his can was guaranteed the quietest in the industry, so we shot it next to a few of ours, his buddy started laughing saying, "well, you better get your money back."
The random guy isn't going to trade his can back in after a 12 month wait and all the PW that is involved, the random guy also isn't going to shoot 50 different makes models to be able to get credential info regarding who's is the quietest...
Marketing gimmick, I'm more concerned with precision, no first round pop, or POI shift, sound suppression comes as a by product.
