Suppressors ?? 2014. Precision 7.62 suppressor

[trauma1]

Now that the SHOT show has presented the latest in suppressors,
what is the consensus of those you with experience for the best for long range matches ?
I see the newer "hunter versions" with great prices. I have been advised by my local dealer to go sure fire in the $ 1500 range.
Thank you.

I am running a surefire SOCOM762RC. Pay attention to the torque specifications on installation. They are there for a reason.

I also have a TBAC 30p1 and CORRECTION: I am waiting on a Templar tactical Ark30.

The silencerco Hunter cans should be interesting. I am waiting to see Sind poi shift and accuracy testing with them.

Roger that thx

No reason to spend surefire money IMO. Theyre expensive and unless you plan to go I to battle they have no benefit over the latest cans. Right now the 30p-1 is the only proven can for that kind of work if youre talking direct threads that I'd consider. Pending tests from the harvester and saker with direct thread they might be good options too. The saker is the one that interests me the most as itll work great for my big bore ARs and can be converted to direct thread should I need it.

Thx for your response!

Yankee Hill Phantom, half the price, plus YHM has a mount that you will allow you to use it on .223. BTW, it is rated up to 300WinMag, and it significantly reduces the recoil on my Sendero. Definitely check out the Yankee Hill Machine Line.

The new Silencerco Harvester for a direct thread, or the specwar for a QD. The specwar is the quietest 7.62 can on the market from all the results I have seen, it's so quiet in person. It also has minimal POI shift. Side note what is so great about sure fire cans? Every test I've seen they place last in db reduction. One was so bad that they left the results off the review because they thought it was defective, but no it was just that bad at sound suppression.

TBAC can't be beat with great Customer Service and will last forever. I you choose their BA suppressors they can be used on multiple rifles and multiple smaller caliber weapons!

Very helpful!!!

The SF Cans just rock, unfortunately for many they are expensive, but if you are not planning on buying suppressor after suppressor like some of us, it will be a great long term investment.

I really like the SF stuff... if you only wanted one can, its worth considering.

In terms of the industry, Silencerco is the one to watch right now, and their cans are proven and have been out in the wild being put through their paces. We saw them during several high profile competitions and James from SilencerCo was in the Top 10 all day during the GAP GRIND with a Harvester suppressor. We are talking light, effective and accurate suppressors with the lowest cost of any suppressor of it type out there. It's affordable.

TBAC is a great can, as is the AWC THORs, and others out there. We are seeing wealth of choices in the suppressor field, and many of the differences are moderate where it comes down to price.

But I think SilencerCo has the model to watch. These guys are out shooting and making sure it works as advertised, and are doing it at a price people can afford.

 

[trauma1]

Thank you Low light! If anyone gets some hard data for these new ones please post. Low light, do you know which model you saw used in matches

[Lowlight]

The harvester like I said... not sure if one of the other guys was using a 7.62 SAKER but for sure James who shot in my squad was shooting a Harvester

Roger that. Good to have options thx again

LL, any word on Templar? How are they doing these days?

Not saying you're wrong, but looking for an education b/c I am half heatedly considering one. When you say there is no reason to spend that kind of money, show me the list of QD / magnum rated / .30 cal cans / that are not Ti (and can therefore take more abuse due to stainless, inconnel or stelite) / weigh 20 oz or less / have outstanding mounts / a reputation for accuracy and durability / and a no bullshit warranty.

ETA the only thing I am aware of that comes close is the AAC SDN-6 (not mag rated). However for a litany of reasons (starting with their mounts) I have a bias against them.

ETA2 - SWR 7.62 Specwar - maybe? But is 4oz. heavier. 4oz you say? Who cares? (Not sure if I do or not for 1/2 the cost) Well 4oz is 28 quarters in a sandwich bag. Hold it at arm's length and consider it on the swing, walk around and do things with it in your hand for 10 minutes and ask 'would I rather not carry this?'

 

[trauma1]

I would be interested in hearing responses to this ? Thanks

Trauma1 - to expedite - the SF stands alone. If the sum of the features are worth it to you - buy it. Like Frank said, it is a long term investment. I have a 2 rev back SF 5.56 can (5.56 K) that to this day I see no real reason to upgrade.

I like the shark. Havent gotten to try out more than 3-4 total. So far I have liked them. My personal one should be here very very soon.

I run Thunder Beast suppressors on my precision rifles. They have excellent sound suppression and do negatively affect accuracy. Thunder Beast also offers a ton of different thread pitches for their brakes. So if you were to get a brake attach suppressor, it is very likely that Thunder Beast would have you covered for about any thread pitch that you may have on your rifle or future rifle.

I have a Silencerco Harvester on order. If it performs well, I will be carrying them in my shop this year.

Thx please give us your opinion on harvester when u get one

The Saker 7.62. Will be out this spring or so. An ounce heavier than the Surefire Socom but an inch shorter and like $600 less. Kickass mount and warranty included. Magnum rated too.

What are the differences bt harvester and saker 7.63

The Harvester is for precision rifles. It is extremely light at 11oz but it isn't made for SBRs or Full auto fire. It is for a slower firing regimen.

The Saker 7.62 is an all around hard use can. It is significantly heavier @ ~20 oz but it will handle full auto and use on SBRs. The Saker is a quick detach while the Harvester is a thread on.

 

[Mike_Honcho]

Saker looks interesting

Honestly youve pretty well got it covered. 4oz isnt enough to steer me away at half the cost and I've never read any negatives accuracy wise. The specwar is pretty tough to beat. It is relatively long and heavy though. If every one of those criteria are of upmost importance then there is nothing on the market that can beat the surefire. If you can wait til june the saker 7.62 will be in dealers hands and will be the best can on the market and 600 less than the surefire. Its shorter than the surefire, about the same weight so basically the same size, not enough to notice IMO. Its mount system is just as good as the surefire compression mount with the added bonus of the MAAD system allowing for direct thread ability and multiple mount types as well as being future proof due to the maad system. I believe it will take a huge bite out of surefire sales. Ive shot the 5.56 saker and its awesome. Ill have my specwar later this month and will be ordering the 7.62 saker as soon as it hits ailencershops efile inventory.

The surefires are great cans but theyre too expensive and loud for me compared to quality offerings now. If we were talking a year ago I'd say surefire without a doubt but a lot has change in the last year (7.62 specwar and saker).

Since the mounting systems are different it will be interesting to see if they are both repeatable and function well with lots of carbon buildup. While Saker seems to give up a couple DBs, I like the OAL and the weight.

I wasn't aware of the Saker until this thread, thank you for bringing it to my attention. Looks like I will be happy to wait a bit longer and see how it shakes out for some folks.

5.56 saker has been out for a while now and has proven itself to be awesome. Only difference is the bore of the mount when going 7.62. Youd have to shoot an insane amount without taking the can off to get carbon lockup if even possible.
