So I’m fixing to make the dive and get a suppressor but with all the different kinds out there and everything constantly changing I’m having trouble choosing

Most importantly I want to to be accurate, I understand that poi will probably shift but I don’t want something that will take my 1/3 moa gun and make it 1moa.

Next important is sound dampening. Obviously I want it to be quiet

Third is qd capable as this will be going on different guns at the moment with different thread patterns

Here’s some info on the guns it will be used on there’s nothing that’s too crazy and won’t be for the foreseeable future.

260 bolt
223 ar
30-30 cause why not
223 bolt
22-250

I’ve looked at the silencerco sakers and have handled and shot one In person (maybe 50 rounds through an ar)but that’s the extent of my personal experience

So what do y’all suggest and why? Pros cons, cleanable, etc
 
I don’t see full auto happening any point in the next 5 years and as for sbr maybe but definitely not immediately, I see by the time that happening I’ll be buying a few more.

Pardon my ignorance but what does sbr change in the suppressors?
 
In one word heat. Sbr's produce heat extremely quickly but pressure also plays a factor. Can construction for sbrs generally avoid titanium, aluminum etc and use stellite, inconel, or a variety of HD steels. I really like dead air qd mounts best available right now in my opinion.

If it were me from what you have provided, I would be taking a hard look at the nomad 30 from dead air or a tbac 7. I have more hosts than cans but I have a few and a solid qd system is important. Like I said earlier, dead airs is the best out imo and I have used them all. Most guys on the hide rock tbac cans and their customer service is legendary so no doubt you will get lots of recommendations there. I have lots of silencerco cans and dead air cans. I have personally watched 2 omegas self eject their outer sleeves and my personal hybrid did the same. Would not recommend either. The saker 762 is one of my favorite cans but is a heavy sbr full auto can. Granted its also my quietest most accurate can so take it for what its worth. I use dead airs mounts for all my sico cans now. First can is a gateway drug lol good luck.

Wow you answered a question I didn’t even know I had, I didn’t realize that the qd between the two were the same. The one saker I had experience with belonged to a friend and he had a baffle strike the day he got it and was using a qd flash hider on a noveske ar barrel.

In using the quick detach systems is there a difference in the way the can preforms between using a flash hider or a muzzle brake
 
There are common adapters out there to allow cans to use different mounts for several brands flagship cans so just do your homework before you buy. Dead airs keymo adapters are compatible with a few brands.

To answer your question about the flash hider vs brakes yes there is a difference. A brake actually acts like a partial blast baffle inside the can. This allows the brake to take in part of the erosion that the can would normally take on its own. Flashiders do not help with this process as well. This again is more of an issue on short barreled applications.
 
If it wasn't for the 30-30, TBAC in the 6.5 titanium.
So looks like you need the 30 cal version.
Dependable, repeatable, accurate. You name the threading, and they put it on there.
If there is a draw back. You don't take them apart to clean them. But you can send them in and they will.
