I've done a good bit of research and have narrowed my choices down to 8 suppressors for my Sako TRG-22. I'd like to actually hear a few cans but I'm deployed now and when I get home I want to place my order right away to get my paperwork started. I don't think I'd be disappointed with any of these but I'd like opinions of guys who have them. Please give details why you suggest the can you do. Here are my requirements:
-Thread On only...no muzzle brake or flash hider adapters
-Available in M18x1 threads...not rethreading the muzzle
-Repeatable POI shift
-Durable
-Sealed or break down...doesn't matter but prefer sealed
-Can weight isn't very important but I know it can affect POI shift. The factory barrel on the TRG-22 is heavy but not as heavy as some run
-.30cal capable of handling .300 WM (only using in .308 for now but if it's built to withstand .300 WM it will take .308 forever...that's my thinking anyhow)
-Under $1500 including tax stamp
-If possible... a thread on can in .338LM. I plan on buying a Sako TRG-42 in .338LM and I'd like to use the same suppressor on both rifles. What kind of performance will I get shooting .308 out of a .338 can? I'm guessing similar to a .308 out of a dedicated .308 can since it has more volume but I don't know. Most .338 cans are over $1500 before the tax stamp. Thunderbeast comes to mind. Others, such as the YHM Phantom .338 and then SAS Phoenix .338 are only available with muzzle brake or flash hider adapters. I'm accuracy focused and want to avoid everything but thread on cans. I only found one, that I listed below, that's thread on and under my max price.
Here are the choices I've narrowed it down to by category:
All titanium lightweight suppressors:
SAS ARBITER .308 TI (rated to .300 WM)
Thunderbeast 30P-1 (rated to .300 WM)
Titanium/Inconel lightweight suppressors:
Shark (Only rated to .308 though)
AWC Thundertrap TM Titanium .30 cal (rated .300WM but pushing the max of my budget)
SS Suppressors:
AAC Cyclone
AWC Thundertrap TM .30 cal
Gemtech HVT
.338 Suppressors:
AWC Thundertrap TM .338 LM
-This can is thread on, will be right at my max price after stamp, and gives me the "feel good's". I can use it on the TRG-22 I have as well as a future TRG-42 when I pick one up. I know it will be heavy since it's constructed out of 304 SS but the ability to use it on both rifles makes the trade off worth it.
Also, of the cans listed, who does full circumference welds and who does not? Where can I find out what type of baffle design they use? I have very limited access to the net (hit or miss most of the time) so I'm on here when I can but it takes forever for sites to load.
Thanks for the help!
