This new to me. What would a silencer for a 30/06 look like? Does it affect the accuracy of a long shot?

A silencer, which is properly called a suppressor, would look like a cylindrical lawn mower muffler.

And it would reduce a great deal of the muzzle blast perceived by the shooter there would still be a very loud “crack” caused by the sonic boom of the bullet moving a super sonic speed.
