Browning Buck Mark II Over-the-Head Ear Protection, 27 dB Noise Reduction, Black, Adult

The Browning Buck Mark II Over-the-Head Ear Protection delivers dependable noise reduction for shooters who want straightforward, effective hearing protection without overcomplicating things. Built as a traditional over-the-head muff design in black, these ear protectors offer a 27 dB noise reduction rating—solid coverage for most shooting environments, from indoor ranges to field hunting scenarios. If you're serious about protecting your hearing while shooting rifles, shotguns, or handguns, a quality passive protector like the Buck Mark II should be part of your range kit.

Browning engineered the Buck Mark II around simplicity and durability. The plastic construction keeps weight reasonable—just 6.4 oz—so you won't feel worn down during a long day at the range or in the field. Over-the-head designs sit securely and work well with stocks and cheekpieces, making them a practical choice for both rifle and shotgun shooters. Unlike active electronic systems, passive muffs require no batteries or electronics, which means they're always ready to go and don't need troubleshooting.

Hearing damage from gunfire is cumulative and permanent. Rifle and shotgun noise consistently exceeds 150 decibels—well into the range where even brief exposure without protection causes lasting harm. The Buck Mark II's 27 dB NRR provides meaningful attenuation without electronics, making it a no-fuss backup to your primary protection or a reliable standalone option for shooters who prioritize simplicity.

What does 27 dB noise reduction actually protect against?

A 27 dB NRR significantly reduces the sound of gunfire. Rifle and shotgun noise typically exceeds 150 decibels; the Buck Mark II's rating means the sound reaching your ear is attenuated substantially, providing real hearing protection for shooting applications. For maximum protection, many shooters combine muffs with foam earplugs.
