What SAWMAN said. Loud!!! Mine is a lot worse if not directly behind the rifle. I'm investing in the electronic ear protection that goes in your ear. I have electronic muffs but don't like them for hunting.
When I shot my deer this year my buddy was to my left about 10 feet and did not cover his ears. His ears were ringing for several hours after the shot.
I use ear plugs and muffs at the range
