Hearing protection w/scope

[Hostile_SS]

Hi all.

Well took my mp10 out for the first time today. Got a inexpensive scope ( Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x40 ) . And a decent set of rings.

I have the decibels ear protection but standing next to someone, they were not enough. So I put on my larger ear muffs over those also.

well can't get my eye behind my sight.

do I need a higher set of rings &/or different hearing protection?

thanks for any advice.

If you're getting good cheek weld with the scope mounted where it is at, than you may need to look into a lower profile set of hearing protection, or even in-ear type plugs. I use MSA Sordins, but there are cheaper ones available that work well. The Howard Leights are popular, cheap, and even have after-market gel cups available now for increased comfort. I wouldn't move the scope to work with hearing protection if you have proper cheek weld and a good sight picture.

I've been running a set of Walker Slims and they allow me to get behind any optic I've used so far.

It is going to depend on the shape of your face. If you can't get muffs to work use plugs.

I heard about electric earmuffs better then.. in ear?

Any good inner ear ones? I am guessing that sometimes cost does not equal quality.

And sometime it does.. lol.

Today was just to try to breakin the new gun. I need to get a decent spotting scope / bio. cant see the target at 50 yards (todays shooting) and once i go to 100..

it will be worse!!

again, thanks ago for all the info. Great site and glad someone in passing on another forum suggested it.

Have a look on Ebay for the Nacre system...

This system uses a central pod with tethered earplugs. It works very well and there's almost no physical interference when establishing a cheek weld.
Just my $.02.....worth everything you've paid for it.

I have no issues with the MSA Sordin Pros...Best there is IMHO

Thanks and i did look it up. unsure this is what i am looking for or... (i might be off.. lol)..

unless it works without connecting to a radio of sorts.

thank you in advance.

The Nacre system works alone....or tethered to a radio.
The system is a pod and a cord that splits to two in ear foam buds.
You can hang the pod from a G-code belt carrier that also attaches to mole, like on a plate carrier.
They are very effective.
