I am looking to buy a thread on 308 can that will be strickly dedicated to my Remington 700P. The can needs to be good quality, accurate with minimal POA/ POI change, quiet for both supersonic & subsonic rounds & wont break the bank (under $1000.) Im looking at the AAC Cyclone, SRT Shadow XL, and YHM Phantom. Any recommendations????

Thunder Beast 30p-1, is what I run. It will run you right at $1000 and there are several site vendors that can help you out getting one. Nothing wrong with the ones you have listed, but I feel you will be happier with the Thunder Beast.
Thank you Buckeye! Ive read alot of good reviews about the thunder beast and their customer service! However, some guys are saying for the price you can get cans from other companies that are alittle cheaper and rate at or near the thunderbeast. I know the adage you get what you pay for. Thats why I want honest opinions from the guys who are running what I am looking at and not from a company who is trying to sell me something. If you HAD to pick one of the cans above; any particular one?
Thunder Beast is a great suppressor and that would be my number 1 pick but.....one of the quietest and best suppressors I've heard in person was a Gemtech on a AI MKIII. Contact Black-X here on the hide and find out what suppressor it was, as it was on his rifle last year at the Woody's event. ALOT of people were impressed by that rifle/suppressor combo.
I have a .30cal YHM Stainless Phantom threadmount.....has like a 6in POI change and weighs tooooooo much. I don't use it anymore and all my next cans will be titanium!
I'm considering an AAC 300-TM. I also hear Thunder Beast is good and friend of mine has a titanium can made by SAS that is very nice.
Keep the thread going as I need as much input as possible on my potential choice and what others have researched.

TBAC 30p-1. I run a 30ba, and couldn't be happier
Thrusty;
At what distance do you have a 6" POI change?
At what distance do you have a 6" POI change?
At 100yrds. Been consistent with every 308 I've put it on. Shoots about 6" low and 1" to the right of my un-suppressed zero.
That's a concentricity issue when they threaded the can or a bore to thread alignment.
Wouldn't I be experiencing baffle strikes if this were the case? Wouldn't be a bore-to-thread misalignment as this occurs on every rifle I've put it on.
I'm considering asking YHM if they would upgrade my can to a titanium one...anyone ever try this route with a manufacture?
By the time you do the paperwork, pay the tax and wait for at least six months, the price of the can will not seem very important. Buy the can that you are confident will meet your performance requirements. You don't want to go through all that trouble and then end up with something that disappoints. For me that was a TBAC 30P-1.
What was disappointing about the 30P-1?
I assume that he meant this regarding the TBAC: "Buy the can that you are confident will meet your performance requirements." Maybe not though.
Sorry, I didn't say that as well as I should have. For me the TBAC 30P-1 was the can I was confident would meet my needs. It has not disappointed.
If it was extreme you would have a baffle strike, but it might be off enough to disrupt the gas flow around the bullet.
I should have been more specific, I meant the bore to thread alignment in the suppressor, not the firearms.
I'm getting a new GAP-10 with either a 20" or 22" tube and am now wondering about cans. I so I'm wondering if any of you have any field use with the Surefire SOCOM762-RC?
But after everyone's high marks on the Thunder Beast 30P-I, I'd consider that or the 30BA (more likely).

Go with the Thunderbeast - I have the 30P-1 on my Remington 700 and love it. No cold bore shift.
I got a AAC SDN6 I switch back and forth with my Krinkov and GAP .308 (Heavy 22 inch bull-barrel)
On my .308 it's consistent at 1 inch 6 o'clock. With the Krink.. who gives a f*ck?! It's shutting the "Lil B*tch" up, lmao!
I shoot both comfortably without hearing protection.
but at $1050... I've seen on some boards going for $850 Brand new.
It's true with the problem with locking up, but once that's fixed... it's beautiful

I'd recommend the gem-tech quicksand its what I'm waiting on bunch of my friends have them and they work nice, granted I couldn't do side by side but in the past I've shot surefire and KAC stuff mostly .308 and .223. The quicksand I've shot on .308's down to 204's. A buddy's wife uses one on a 300 win mag deer rifle to kill recoil. No noticeable problems with accuracy. Easy guys to work with and good on answering questions.
Needless to say I wanted a light can that would do 308-.223 be quick detachable and light. so $1299.99 for a titanium can that I could switch around sounded good to me. The expensive part is the QD breaks at over $100 a piece.

I don't know if anyone else has had this experience or not, I only have 3 suppressors, but I have had the best accuracy results and consistency with a light weight Ti can that is a thread on, wether direct or over a muzzle brake.
The can that I have that is quick attach that is supposed to be for precision applications has just not been as consistent as the rifle is without the suppressor.
For a precision rifle I would look for a suppressor with these features.

Lowlight did a review in this forum, and their Group Buy from October is around 20-pages of info...
Summary: user-serviceable can (after the red loctite wears off after 500+ rounds), Titanium, thread-on, accurate, and great folks who care about the customer And quality products.
They got swamped with orders and are still catching up, but so far so good.

I am running a HairTriggerFirearms Solace 308. Its pretty damn quiet. I don't understand all the fuss over POI shift. I don't shoot my 308 Winchester without the Suppressor cause it's to LOUD.
I run a Liberty Suppressors Freedom Mag on my custom 308. Very quiet and shoots like a dream. I got it for just under 800 but wish I would have gone with the Victory Mag since it's a bit lighter. Empty rifle/scope/silencer package runs about 18 lbs...
Me either.
One notable absence is the Elite Iron Bravo. It's a .30 caliber can that will handle everything up to .300 WM or 300 RUM. I looked long and hard before buying. They are stupid quiet.
http://www.eliteiron.net/elite-iron-suppressors-page2.html
Some do not like the Bravo because of weight but I've never heard one complaint concerning suppression, durability or price. Elite Iron publishes their suppression data. They list the rifle, ammo, temp, humidity and elevation. This is done so that the results can be verified. Others may do this but I couldn't find anything like this on the Thunderbeast site for example. Some others post data but without any rifle, load data etc.
They don't advertise but sell LOTS of cans. Give Dale and Kathy a call before you buy. I'm glad I did.
BTW, (full disclosure) when I first screwed on the can I thought it was heavy but the suppression is so good and puts a smile on my face every time I shoot it that I don't notice the weight anymore.

I've been looking at buying a suppressor and your post made me curious... Is it standard to pay for the suppressor after you receive your paperwork and pick up the suppressor or do most dealers want you to pay for the suppressor up front?
TB's focus is on accuracy. I would go that way.....It will make you a better shooter.
I have purchased all of my cans directly TBAC. This required that I pay them before they shipped to the SOT that would then do the transfer to me. I paid a transfer fee to the SOT and that was also up front. I can't say for sure, but I would think that most retailers would require you to pay up front they have capital tied up in the can and your purchase effectively removes it from their inventory.
I would run the Elite Iron Bravo 1. I run the same supressor on my 260, 308, and 300 win mag. Its not just a supressor, its a tool for better shooting.
Thanks guys for all your help and advice!!! Its greatly appreciated.
Has anyone tried out the new SWR Specwar 762? I have heard nothing but great things about the brand - and I am considering buying a can to cross-fit between 7.62 and 5.56. Any advice on the SWR or any other competing model that could work for both calibers?

I have heard from my dealer that it is awesome. Wish I was getting one of them transferred instead of a SDN6. Magnum rated, said to be 5db quieter than the SDN6 too. Also has a better mounting system. And cheaper. Should be getting to dealers soon from my understanding. All hearsay of course, but silencerco/swr is a great company, with great people and great products. That, is a fact.
The two manufactures I looked at pretty hard where TB and SAS. It really came down to how TB is always at the matches putting down handfuls of 1/2 certificates and everywhere I look some one has one.
They are a great company!

I'm sure you will have your info before I can be of help, but I have a SOCOM-RC on the way.. (June I hope.. the 9 extra employees did not speed up the process time)
I planned on using it on two diff platforms but I think I'm going to get the a TBAC for my GAP-10 and run my SOCOM-RC on my Seekins 300AAC 8" barrel and 12" hand guard. Love the look, but not practical for ease of use on and off with the guard being longer than the barrel. No matter what I do I always seem to find a way to buy just one more can.
This right here. Dont buy a lower and SBR it unless you know its tops, dont buy a can that last years and years and years, that you dont love. Get the best in this situation. Your first choices are not "best". Buy Thunderbeast or other high end cans.
I've wanted the Arbiter for a few years now...I was put on Mile High's list for SAS and never got a call. Screw SAS and Mile High.
I went with TBAC...around Thanksgiving TBAC offered an awesome deal and I jumped on the TBAC bandwagon. With TBAC, you can reach Zack on this forum or many of the other forums....they actually have awesome CS...unlike trying to reach SAS.
I'm glad I went with TBAC and I won't be second guessing if I made the right choice.

i am assuming this is because the Surefire requires a release at the base of the threads to remove? I have a 8" 300 blk barrel with a 9" seekins handguard, but kinda want to go with the 12" tube and hide the TTF Ark 30 more under it. Difference is that i can unscrew the TTF from the portion sticking out since its a straight thread-on can, i would assume yours is a little more involved. maybe we can work out a trade or something... PM me if so.
Thunderbeast= 0 cold bore shift (most important in precision shooting or hunting where first shot counts), low weight, great sound suppression, great CS, low wait times = best choice. Love my Thunderbeasts more than any of my other cans.
That being said... if the SWR 762 is as good as my SWR556 I will have one of those also in the future.

I've been told that Shark Suppressors are top of the line for .30 cal. However, I do not own one. You're able to remove both end caps for cleaning.
TBAC or Silencerco Harvester.
That said, I have an SDN-6 (I wanted QD and easy multi-caliber host support) and it's been excellent so far, even on a precision rifle.

Check out Allen Engineering's AE30 - it's an outstanding can. Give Ron Allen a call and you can work out a mounting solution for your 700P.
