Savage AC30 B.O.B. (Back Over Barrel) Direct Thread Suppressor .30 Cal 5/8"-24 Black

The Savage AC30 B.O.B. (Back Over Barrel) direct thread suppressor for .30 caliber rifles offers a distinct design approach to sound suppression and rifle handling. Unlike traditional suppressors that extend beyond the muzzle, the B.O.B.'s back-over-barrel design slides partially over the barrel itself—giving you meaningful advantages in the field without the length penalty. This 5/8"-24 threaded suppressor threads directly onto your barrel and lets you control noise signature while keeping your overall package more compact and better balanced, which matters when you're stalking through timber or working tough terrain.

The B.O.B. achieves substantial sound reduction—133 dB on a 20" barrel in .308 Winchester—through a larger internal chamber that doesn't require extending your rifle's footprint the way muzzle-mounted cans do. The modular core and end cap design means you can service the suppressor without losing your zero, and a built-in self-cleaning carbon cutter helps keep it running reliably. At 13.7 ounces and 8 inches long with a 2-inch diameter, it's engineered for precision rifle work where every ounce and inch counts.

Built from 100% machined 7075 aluminum with a titanium thread insert and hard coat anodized finish, this suppressor is made to handle real use. It's rated for controlled fire—one round per second for up to 20 rounds, then requires cooling to ambient temperature. Savage designed this can for shooters who demand accuracy and handling balance on top of hearing protection.
