Mini review:
Took the Abel Co. Biscuit out to the range for the first time on Friday and put some 6.5 creedmoor rounds through it. And here are my thoughts.
Recoil impulse is very impressive, as others have talked about. When compared to my wife's Omega with 6.5mm endcap, the recoil impulse felt much more like what you would experience with a muzzle brake, rather than a suppressor. Getting the rifle back on target can be achieved much more efficiently with the Biscuit than the Omega. Not sure if this was an actual design intent or if its a by-product from the nature of it being short and "fat", but I'll take it. Probably my favorite performance aspect of this suppressor, its that nice!
Sound suppression is good - from what I can tell, it's about equivalent to my wife's Omega with 6.5mm end cap. I did a side by side between the two suppressors, shooting them back to back on my rifle. The Biscuit has a very pleasant tone, I preferred it to the Omega's tone. I should point out that I was shooting at a semi-public range under a metal roof, not the best environment to test acoustics.
Precision - from what I can tell so far, this can has no ill-effect on precision. Used it on my new hunting barrel that I'm still breaking it, but shot it even better suppressed than unsuppressed. Part of that is certainly due to me shooting better suppressed, I can be a bit sensitive to concussion. But no concerns at all about any ill-effect on precision.
Overall, a quality and beautiful can. I'm very pleased with it! It will be going hunting with me this fall, and then off to shoot the PRS match at CCC in Navasota in January.
Also, shout out to
@hic28 and his team! In a previous post I mentioned buggering up the 1-3/8 to 5/8x24 adapter, and
@hic28 was quick to respond to send me a new adapter and an additional spanner wrench. That's customer service! Very happy to support a company that takes care of its customers.
