.223 / 308 / 30-06 are all in the 150-160-ish dba range. That Lowes model is rated as protection up to 105. So I would think ok for a .22 type setup but nothing past that.

I have never seen a passive pair of muffs match a pair of electronic - but maybe they exist. Once I went electronic I donated all my passives to the range.

I still vote for plugs + muff combos. Two good things that go better together....
I bought a Ruger 10/22 and Taurus TX22, both .22, but obviously I can't control what others will be shooting.

I'm a sweaty dude and don't like things on my head if I can help it, especially double things (hat and muffs, muffs and glasses, etc.), but I'll clearly do what I need to.

So, I'm hearing what might be best for me would be both a good set of plugs (for outdoors/light indoors) that would be compatible with muffs, and a set of muffs that could be used in conjunction with the plugs?

If so, recommendations? Passive or active muffs? Foam plugs vs. Surefire?

Thoughts on these? https://www.amazon.com/Walkers-Razor...222&th=1&psc=1
