What are some solid suppressor choices for a AI AW 308 26"?

The two I own are the TBAC Magnus Hub (I own the full-size, no brake version) or an Otter Creek Hydrogen L. Former is more HD, latter is lighter. They test similarly in TBAC’s 2024 Suppressor Sound Summit.

TBAC offers the Magnus in their SR mount if you want secondary retention.

Also own the Banish 30, but the two above are better.

TBAC will clean your can once a year for free, and Otter will do so whenever you want. You pay shipping.

I am very happy with my tbacs, all of them have been a joy.

 

[Shootnwrench]

Hard to go wrong with a TBAC, that said the Abel stuff is solid too if you don’t want the wait.

TBAC for sure.

Looking for some recommendations on factory ammo for 308. AI AT 20in barrel. What should I try? I know federals with 175smk and 168smk. What else? Hornady 168 ELD, etc.

Thanks

What distance and what application?

Generally anything beyond 600ish you want 175smk pills.

168s below that threshold.

FGGM smks have been awesome for a long time. Single digit SD for me.

Federal t308t can be a good one as well

Hornady Black has been pretty accurate for short range stuff for me as well. Fgmm has always been solid as already suggested by others. I haven’t had great luck with the eld-x or Hornady match stuff personally.

Don’t over look Berger’s offerings, 185 Juggernaut load is great.

Neat orange arca clamp peeking out underneath that big orange bag.…I like orange! I assume that someone else’s gun.

Was just shooting some steel at 600 yards today using these and my TacOps. A GREAT combination!

Whos the uncivilized barbarian running a brake with the homies running cans?

Around here it’s only a few bucks more than a box of FGMM and I end up with once fired Lapua brass.

I do it just out of spite.

Some of us live in unfriendly areas and have to use a brake.

We take turns trying to produce the largest blast adjacent to our position.

If I ran a brake, I would have have custom left/right shutters on it. Someone bugging me on the right? Close the left shutter and he gets MAX IRRITATION.

 

[MK20]

I have enough TBI that brakes give me a headache.

I usually see it for a good $15+/box more.. and I’m not willing to reload 308 so the Lapua brass doesn’t mean much to me.

Damn.. what the hell’s going on with mk22’s? And the AXSR lost the mil contract to this? post# 3281 https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/the-new-barrett-mrad-thread.6279141/page-66
And I was about to pull the trigger on a MRAD ELR end of this year. I guess I’ll wait out for a AX50.

Between the Barrett and the P320 the DoD is 0-2... In what world is a peanut butter MRAD better than an AXSR?

It's an extra feature.

Third stage trigger.

Now that'll be an extra 10k per gun. -Barrett

LMAO

I have a specific opinion about MRADs that I have stated previously

I live in a libtard state as well. Can’s are prohibited. I can tell when the shooters next to me get irritated as shit when I shoot with a brake. But I know they won’t tell me shit. But what they don’t seem to realize is that they shooting with a brake as well. The difference is, I don’t flinch when their brakes blast. Cause that what I expect at the range. And I do double up (comtac VII in earplug mode with 3m classic foamies) cause well, it is a shooting range. So if someone at the range gives me shit about it, “bruh!, double up. Or stop being a pussy. It’s a shooting range!” Now if cans was available and legal here where I live. And shooters around me is using a can. And I’m using a brake, that’s just barbaric, poor, and selfish. Cause I wish I could run cans on all my firearms if I could.

Agreed. If I could own a can, I would have a few of them for sure. Where I live, everyone has a brake, so people are pretty cool about it. Quite frankly, the blast doesn't bother me. I double up on hearing protection as well.

In my area, there are a lot of FUDDS that are pussies about it. They generally keep to themselves and whisper to each other. I always enjoy the AR-15 shooters that bitch about the blast. They think nothing about pelting you with their brass, though. That is different...LOL

Ya in Illinois where I’m at, it’s only getting worse. Absolutely cannot buy semi auto rifles, no cans, no mags over 10 rounds, the list goes on. The way around it, is to get your FFL and SOT. I got mine all done in about 3 months, and I can get a can in about 3 days….its so sweet. It’s the best thing I’ve done in a while. Shooting, especially by myself is so much more pleasant.

When you shoot does your ballistic app compensate for the 2 yards closer your muzzle is to the target

That's the only rifle that's ever made me want a 300 mag. Sweet find.

Silly question, but what cleaning rod do you use to clean that 48" barrel?

Thank you

It came out of a private collection and just arrived tonight I am super pleased
