Looking for recommendations for 338 Lapua suppressor. I have an 12 lb hunting setup so recoil is a concern as much as suppression. The TBAC338 ultra seems to be the only recommended I see. If going that route, is the RR model (brake on the end) required?

I have a nomax and it's awesome, you can also buy the recoil x for it if you want. https://deadairsilencers.com/silencers/nomax-33/
I have a Nomax 33 and like it a lot. Very good suppression and comfortable to shoot without hearing protection. Big, but surprisingly handy due to light weight.
I have shot 338LM through a Hybrid (mine), 36M and Rugged Alaskan 360 and none were comfortable to shoot, didn't really feel hearing safe to me.
I own a couple TBAC and am a fan boy, but don't have a 338 to compare the Nomax with.
I have been on the range with my Nomax 33 shooting 338LM with another shooter that had a TBAC and 338NM. We couldn't take ears off, but everyone was amazed how well they suppressed. The big cans are in a different class than the smaller cans with over bores IMO.
Recoil is more push and less snap with the can on, but I think about the same. I really like not having the noise of the break though.

I am a fanboy of TBAC, but took a risk on the Nomax due to price and availability. Glad I did, no regrets.
Get the nomax. I have a Hyperion and the hub concept on nomax is a much better/ more flexible design.
I have a lot of clients running the SiCo 36M on .338LM and 300NM with very good results. I personally have 2 of them for the same thing.
Everybody is running them on ASR mounts or HUB.
Not too heavy. Not too massive. Good suppression and overall performance.

I run a TBAC338 my 338 Edge. Helps with the recoil. Also a 12.5lbs setup. No clues on the Magnus brake.
While the competition has really stepped up the last couple years, I went with TBAC because it was such a known quantity. In the end, kind of hard to go wrong with most of the options as long as they meet your weight concerns and have reliable mounting systems.
I can't wait for the NFA to die so we can start trading suppressors like pokemon cards. I want to try almost all of the cans listed in this thread.

Looks like e-silencers has a Ultra 338 in stock now.. Ain't cheap though.
nothing about a 338 Laupa is cheap. But that did shock me a little.
Before the Magnus became a thing, the premium was worth it on even the .30cal magnums.
