Con - you will want to suppress every other rifle you have.
No downsides.

Good luck

Re: Suppressor for 300wm
Pros: Recoil reduction, less rifle hop better follow-up shots, noise reduction/hearing protection, and the chicks dig it. You make friends on the shooting line instead of enemies.
Cons: A little ding to your wallet; some have changes in POI. Barrel needs to be threaded to accomodate suppressor. Need to learn your state laws on what can & can't be hunted with can. 1+ on Tigershark.

I just got my first can a few months ago for my .308. I've heard all about the recoil reduction a can gives you, but I personally can't notice any reduction in recoil.
On a .308 it doesn't matter, but a 300WM, if your used to shooting it braked, might hit harder with a can...
I dunno though, just my ass-umption...

Does hit harder with a can, as opposed to an FTE. Still not as bad as nothing but a crown on the muzzle.

Re: Suppressor for 300wm
Pro
Reduction in sound
Reduction in perceived recoil
Shooting without hearing protection is great!
Con
Cost for the can
Cost plus temporary relocation of the rifle for the barrel threading
The cost (ATF $200)
The Wait (ATF)
Recommend Tigershark (www.sharksuppressors.com)
Contact member 737Shark via PM. It may take him a few days to get back but I'm sure he will return.

What can did you get? I have brakes and can and even on my .308 there is a huge difference between can & brake in recoil reduction.

I have an SAS can that threads on to a muzzle brake attachment. I love the can, don't regret buying it, and also plan on buying another one. I'm just saying, the recoil reduction isn't all that I thought it would be.
+1 on the the Shark suppressors BTW... They might be expensive, but the one I saw in action was impressive.

Re: Suppressor for 300wm
I have a suppressed AI 300WM. Im using an AAC 300SD, it was one of the last runs they made of them before deciding to redesign them. Excellent can but there are reasons why they are redesigning them....
I also have a 300WSM that is suppressed using a Quicksilver Manufacturing suppressor. It is a heavy can but the noise level reduction is amazing and the POI is minimal. I highly recommend QSM!

Re: Suppressor for 300wm
+1 for Shark. David is GTG.
As for multi-platform, David has a 'modular' version of the Shark/Tigershark that he can spin up different thread adapters that work quite well.

Re: Suppressor for 300wm
The nice thing about the 300WM Tigershark is you can use it on just about eveything with the adapters. I use mine on 4 different guns down to a .22 Spikes upper. David provides great service!
Here is my Tigershark on the 6.5 Grendel.

Re: Suppressor for 300wm
How is a can modular .... and is it just me but does that can look to be about the same size as the free float tube ?
