Help with suppressor selection

Post by jkp »

Casually looking to buy a suppressor but my casual interest turns to spending pretty quickly sometimes.

The SilencerCo Scythe-Ti has caught my eye but I'm definitely open to others products.

Use will be multi platform ranging from ARs chambered in 5.56, 6mm AR, etc. and bolt rifles such as .223, 6 CM, 6.5 CM, .308 Win.

Appreciate any suggestions.

Otter Creek. Period, hands down. They make great can, not expensive, and are some of THE biggest rednecks doing cool poop out there.

What's your budget?

For your array of cartridges, as you have probably ascertained by now, some sort of .30 Cal can is the best course of action. If your can is going to spend a LOT of time on ARs, I would look at some of the newer flow-through cans.

I have a SiCo Omega 300 that is fine, but I do find that it works itself apart during firing. Thus, I am not a fan of modular cans. Your mileage may vary. For my ARs, I have a HuxWrx Flow 556TI on the way.

The old standby "buy once, cry once" is SureFire, but for the average end use they are not the only game in town.

Thunder Beast is a local guy they make great stuff. They have a new can out that’s suppose to be THE can for ar’s. Quietest in the category a slow back pressure…. No real experience just what one of the owners told me.

I've been pleased with my YHM Resonator R2

You can buy 2+ of the new Lyman cans for your budget. (Someone needs to test them ;) )

No personal experience, but the PRS nerds seem to really be into TBAC.

If I were starting over again on my can "journey," with today's tech, I would probably have a 30 Cal TBAC and a 5.56 HUX or similar flow-through.
