Suppressors Encore suppressed

[garsticker]

I have an idea for a encore barrel ..17 inch threaded then a suppressor.. would a single shot be any more or less quieter than a bolt or semi auto...I like the 300blk but is there any other choices for caliber that would work good suppressed for deer similar

Less noise than a semi for sure.
No different than a bolt gun.


Encore with 16 1/2“ Blackout & Choate folding stock makes a very compact combination.
Longer than the Handi by a nose till you fold it up.
With interchangeable barrels, shoot 300BLK today, .308 tomorrow.
It's so lite, .30-06 is about my limit. I had a .338 Win Mag. Even with a break it was brutal. It's gone now...

Very nice.
I've been daydreaming about one just like that recently.
My have to get going on it.

This is my cva apex in 300 blackout. Very quiet. 16 1/2". Changeable barrels.

 

[garsticker]

Very cool...that's what I was wanting to see......do you like the encore over the Handi Rifle?

 

[TV66]

Problem with the Handi is the dang hammer. You can"t get a good compact scope down on the barrel.

 

[piglatinhater]

Hmmmm... anyone got a link to some of these for sale?

 

[mrjimsfc]

Try these guys, they seem to have some pretty good prices.
If you go here, you can get component parts.

 

[dddoo7]

eBay has barrels-- but not cheap. Might be only option right now if you are in a hurry.

I prefer the 300 Whisper/blackout on the smaller Contender frame.

This is the most powerful subsonic I could find without a DD stamp. 20" Encore barrel made by SSK, the all aluminum homemade can is 2" by 18" and telescopes over the barrel 6". The lighest loads I use are 637 grain M33 at 1050 fps the heaviest are 950 cast from a CBE mold and 28 grains of WC820.. The video shows me hitting a metal plate at 200 yards, you can see the bullet descending from about a 15" arc at 100 yards. The brass is made from 338 lapua, it costs me about 60 cents per round if I load the brass at least ten times.

The 338 whisper or 338 spector has more punch with a 300 grain bullet than the 300blk's 240 grain bullets with much less recoil than the 510 whisper.

I like them both.
If I could only keep one, it would be the Encore as I've got more barrels to go with it.
I'm also a big fan of the Contender. I've got two Whisper barrels , a threaded 10" and a carbine length plus about 20 more barrels in various calibers.

My early SSK 510 Whisper. Ser #2. I like it.

Nice looking rifles. I had MGM make me a 10" threaded in blk out and like it really well. It shoots 208 Amax with ill gun very good. Took a white tail doe at 70 yards behind my house and she just flipped her tail, at first I thought I'd missed but she went about 50yds and piled up. It's really quiet with the mystic.

I recently picked up a Encore pistol frame. I am wanting to order a barrel specifically for subsonics, and wanted to do one in .308 because dont want to need new reloading stuff. Would a 8" 1-8 twist for heavier bullets be unreasonable? Or would I just be better off going the 300BLK route?

 

[dddoo7]

The blackout will be much easier with subs. There is just too much volume in the 308 to shoot subs very consistently.

 

[garsticker]

those are some very cool guns...Ya'll have given me some great ideas

Great now there is another gun that I gotta have !!!

Very good advice. I got a Blkout upper for this very reason and it is now my favorite all around gun. My 6 y/o loves shooting it with SS ammo.

Is that on a Sako action? What can you tell me about the silencer? My Encore 510 whisper works ok, but I wish I had the funds ten years ago for a bolt gun.

Holy CAN batman! is that like a 24" can?

I inherited an Encore in 45-70 with a AWC Thundertrap. A full case of trail boss and a 405 jacket soft point does a number on deer.

And it is legal in Mississippi to use during muzzle loading deer season! Imagine that-- a suppressed rifle considered a primitive weapon because of the 45/70 cartridge (35 whelen works too).

Not much to say about the suppressor other than it's big. It's nothing special inside, very old school. All Stainless, non-magnetic. JD doesn't recommend it, but it's easy to take apart.

20". There's about 7" of barrel in the suppressor.

My 300 blackout 16" barrel and The other is a custom suppressed 45ACP.

Did you install the Pro Hunter hammer or did it come with one?
