Poor's dilemma: Good 30 cal suppressor for 6.5

What is your go-to 30 Cal Can?
What is the cheapest .308 you'd put that on?

Short: I've got a custom 6.5 Swede that I can now afford to put a can on. Is there a cry-once-buy-once 30 cal can that will do well on it? If not, what is a great can for my swede?

Long:
Fork elk hunting under 300 yds, would a can on a Mossberg Patriot .308 make you smile? ($400 w/ threaded barrel.) It's for a stubborn bow hunter; she won't want to make shots longer than 200 yds for a year or 2, but she needs a rifle. I want a can for 2 rifles...

I have a Crescent Customs 6.5 Swede, handload 130's at 3000 fps. I didn't have it threaded when it was built, but that was when I lived in MN and suppressors hadn't been made legal by the DNR. Getting it threaded is the easy decison here.

I've been looking at cheap Scout Rifles for the missus; Mossberg MVP is the only poor's that meets Cooper's criteria, but the Ruger Ranch and Mossberg Patriot are cheaper, and have an ounce more class.

Where am I going wrong in my thinking?

Ugly Reloading Precision Primer Seater… Thoughts?!!

Does anyone have the new Precision Primer Seater by Ugly Reloading USA? I saw the video of this on YouTube, and was intrigued by it. Apparently it mounts in your press like a die would. I’m very intrigued by it, curious if anyone has one and can share some insight on it. Let me know, Thnaks In advance.

Here’s a link to the video on it…

Muzzle Brakes. I was a Skeptic...

I'm not all that and a bag of chips sniper/PRS shooter/lord of warfare, so it takes a little longer for me to get around to things, but anyway...I've been using the A419 Hellfire Match and even the regular version brakes on all my stuff. I had a unknown 3 port 90 degree chambered muzzle brake that called at me from the misc parts bin. So, I went shooting my 300WM 13.5lbs rig, and then I installed that "other" brake and shot. Boy howdy, was there a just noticeable difference in felt recoil! So much, I uninstalled that "other" brake and threw it in the trash bin. So, now I'm back to the Hellfire match and got my 308 shooting 300WM back!

I told that story so I could get to this point, the engineering of these brakes certainly makes a difference. Are there better brakes? Probably, but these work so well I'll focus my OCD efforts on other things.

5.45x39 Precision Bolt Action

Anyone ever have a craving for a 5.45x39 "precision" bolt action rifle? The SSG 82 is the only offering available and they are in scarce supply. Prices have gone through the roof for a decent SSG. The SSG 82 is not without severe faults. The primary extraction is almost non-existant and the aluminum trigger is delicate and prone to breakage. When firing 7N6 in SSG 82's they usually lock up and extractors are fragile and prone to breaking. Given all the negatives stated above, I decided to build a precision 5.45x39 paper punching device. Fast forward several years sense parting with the SSG 82..............

Build Specs
-Krieger light weight palma barrel 30" finish length (they made me the last three 5.45 barrels before halting production of this bore diameter)
-Tikka T3 action- bolt face opened up to accept 5.45. Great primary extraction, great trigger and Sako extractor
-20MOA EGW picatinny rail
-GRS Hybrid stock- pillar bedded
-Zeiss V8 scope with #43 mil dot reticle
-Zeiss 34mm precision rings with integral recoil lug
-Custom reamer by Manson. Sent samples of 7N6 and Hornady ammunition to get the throat geometry and length
correct
-Premium European 5.45 boxer primed brass
-Hornady 60gr V-max projectiles (.2215")
-Hornady reloading dies

Standby:).................................

adding a data point, TT Diamond Safety failure

Putting this on the web to add another data point to a seemingly rare issue. Today my TT Diamond Pro Curved R700 RH, safety stopped working. The movement started getting gritty, so naturally i cycled it back and fourth and it froze up within a few cycles. No damage visible on the outside. Contacted TT awaiting response. The Trigger is stuck in the Fire position, and the weight has not changed, it operates normally otherwise, but i replaced it with another TT Diamond just to be safe in the mean time.
