Basically you can suppress just about any kind of weapon out there, but how much the suppression works is based on bullet speed, and gun design (supressing a revolver is just stupid for example though it has been done). As everybody has said in a 308 unless you use subsonic ammo you are still going to get a very sharp crack out of it. With a 22 it depends on the ammo. Subsonic ammo is very quiet, standard high velocity still has a crack to it. 45acp is always popular to suppress because by its very nature it is a subsonic round. If you are looking to legally do this anyway (which I would always advise) I would actually contact one of the better suppression makers such as Knights Armament out of florida, they can not only give you an idea of what it is you are looking at but can also give you an idea of what different decible suppression rating are available for your particular firearm. I would NOT under ANY circumstance "do it yourself" on a suppressor. It is FAR too easy for some trigger happy DA trying to make a name for himself/herself to bury you in red tape, prosecution, or even jail even if you are trying to "do it right"
Myself I don't own a single suppressor and don't plan to own one. The red tape, the taxes, and the rights you give up in order to own and posses one at this time just don't make it worth it to me.
me 2 cents.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
