First off, I am in the UK, so suggestions to just buy two suppressors won't work. It was a 5 month long extravaganza to get an authority to purchase an additional rifle and suppressor; I'd have to do that again for another suppressor. This is also my first centerfire suppressor and I'm a bit clueless about what I should be looking for. I want to be able to use it in a PRL match, so it should be able to take 100 rounds through it in a day. Not sure if that means all-steel or if aluminium insides is ok or not.
I have a Remington 700 308 with a M18x1 barrel thread.
I have a Tikka TAC A1 6.5 Creedmoor with a 5/8x24 barrel thread.
I want to get a single .30 caliber suppressor to fit on both rifles.
This is available:
It has a thread specific end module which screws on the barrel thread, this attaches to a standard thread on the suppressor. So I could buy a M18x1 for the R700 and a 5/8x4 end module for the Tikka and have one suppressor for both rifles. But specs say it only weighs 192 grams, so I'm thinking it is not up to target use.
These are also available with the same type of deal where you have a thread specific end on the rifle side which screws onto a standard thread on the suppressor side:
They weigh in up to 440 grams so more like what I was expecting. However spec sheet says "for hunting rifles only" and it has aluminium internals.
Or I could buy something like this M18x1 to 5/8x24 thread adapter and just buy a standard 5/8x24 threaded suppressor.

But have heard some of these adapters are good, some not good and give you baffle strikes.
Any ideas?
