Need suppressor recommendation for a 338 Lapua bolt gun

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

One of the two styles of AAC titans or thunderbeast.

We have both the AAC Titan QD and Shark Manufacturing's JAWS on our TRGs and AIs. They are both great cans and I would recommend either of them without reservation.

Thunderbeast has a great reputation on Sniper's Hide. I also know Ray and Zak Smith shot a lot of 338 LM in the early days so their cans should be a good one. Just never had an opportunity to play with one in person.

I'm not sure if they exist, but the Titan thread-on (ti version) would be the s--t imo. QD makes almost no sense to me for a 338 bolt gun when considering a Ti can.

My local dealer is sitting on a AAC Titan that a guy backed out on.

I have shot an AWC Thundertrap on a .338 Lapua bolt gun (Surgeon Rifles Remedy) and it was crazy quiet.
