A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
Looking for another 308 can for a bolt action, most likely direct thread. I'm after max sound suppression and I'm not concerned if it is heavy or long. Already have an aac cyclone. Very partial to silencerco products but not wed to them. What do you all suggest? Max suppression is key factor.
Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
Specwar 762 (not direct thread)
Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
For max suppression, I'd go specwar 7.62 as well.

Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
I have an SAS Ti Arbiter and a 7.62 Specwar. Both cans do excellent suppression. The Arbiter is very light but I would not use a titanium can in an application where it will get very hot. The Specwar is rated for barrels as short as 12.5" in both 6.8 and 308. I've used it on both of those with great results.

TBAC 30P-1, but it is going to be hard to noticeably beat the Cyclone suppression wise.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Specwar wouldn't be a bad choice.
Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
Oh buddy... You and I could not be further away from an understanding of what makes a desirable silencer! I don't know man, "max suppression" might mean something to you, but to me, every 30 cal rifle can I have ever heard sounds "about the same". Directly comparing A to B one might be quieter, to the ear after 50 rounds there might be a meaningful difference, but 10 feet away they are all about identical.I'm not concerned if it is heavy or long.
But go for it if you like... I'd sooner recommend the Thunderbeast Ultra series, the AAC 300-TM, or other cans, because accuracy, repeatability, lightweight, durability, are all more important than how a can meters, but if you want how it's going to METER (not the same thing as how it sounds) then go for the Specwar.
Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
300TM is the can I chose for max suppression on a direct thread 308 bolt rifle application. I really like it. My Specwar is also very quiet, but it resides on my AR10, which isn't a particularly quiet platform.

I've shot all those cans & the specwar sounds better to me. Its also not heavy. Its heavier than those but not heavy unless you're rocking one of those heavy ass chassis precision stocks. Everyone ears are different & maybe you can't tell the difference due to hearing damage you've encountered but some of us can clearly tell the difference.
Specwar has sound suppression, durability, repeatability, accuracy, & SilencerCo's customer service/warranty. Light weight it is not

Sig 762Ti thread-on.
the sig cans sounded amazing on the range, and the Ti models are super light.

Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
While I don't normally agree with este, I have to this time. Heavy and long are as important if not more important than a couple Db. I'll take light over a couple Db any day. I love my Gemtech Sandstorm, at 13.5 ounces it does a fantastic job on full power 308 and 300 BLK. The new Silencerco Omega, SAS Ti Arbiter, and the Sig 762 Ti as jasonM said would be the only others I would choose over another Sandstorm.
Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
weight was the only thing that kept me from going with the Specwar 7.62
It would be a great choice if you're not worried about the weight; very quiet, bomb-proof, good reputable company. Oh yeah, cool sounding name too.

Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
Thunderbeast ultra no question. It is more than 3db quieter than the 30P1 and lighter.
Re: A 2nd 308 suppressor - advice requested
glad to know I'm not the only one thinking about getting another 30cal can. i have the arc sdn6 i was thinking about getting the redesigned sdn then suppressed slightly more.

For my bolt guns I use a Slincerco Harvester, sound reduction is very good, and recoil reduction is also very good.
