What is the quietest suppressor for 6.5 Creedmore

[Small_Arms_Collector]

What is the highest decibel reduction suppressor for 6.5 Creedmoor? I am thinking about getting one but am completely confused which one has the best performance.

I’m not hung up on it being an actual 6.5mm suppressor, .30 is fine, I’m just looking for the most objectively effective.

TBAC .338 Ultra

 

[mmlook]

TBAC .338 Ultra

agree with this, or any large .338 can is crazy quiet when using it with a non magnum cartridge

just like using a .30 cal can on a 22lr

only downside is the size of the can

Dead air nomax followed by lti

The TBAC is a great choice, especially if you love spending a ridiculous amount of money on a suppressor. Look at the Otter Creek Hydrogen L 6.5, Resilient Jolene and Diligent Enticer L Ti.

I am using an Otter Creek Hydrogen L 6.5 and it is awesome. To my ear, granted using plugs anyway, it sounds better than any of the 30 cal suppressors I've tried previously.

You worried about length? What’s the use of the rifle?

I gotta second that TBAC .338 Ultra.
Shot next to a guy running one in a 6.5 Creed at the last match and it was just ridiculously quiet.
Not cheap, but if you want quiet-est…..

 

[Jack_L]

I'd recommend seeing what comes out at SHOT.
Lots of suppressor manufacturers will be releasing new cans in January to coincide with the market opening back up once the $0 tax stamp goes into effect.

What is your opinion of the PTR Vent 1 compared to the others mentioned? What about the CGS Hyperion?

 

[Bacarrat]

Now you are moving the goal post. I would pick the suppressor for your application. "Quietest" suppressor would actually be lower on my list of what I would want in a suppressor. Most of them are going to be decently quiet. It's hard to tell a lot of suppressors apart, and there is a lot of tonal differences in them as well. Meter numbers are not the end all be all when picking a suppressor.

I couldn't muster the extra $$ myself, but it is super quiet. One match last year I noticed in my squad, one guy's can was the most soft muffled "puff" and asked him what it was. Yes TBAC.

Yup that’s why I asked him the questions I did instead of screaming out suppressor names. People get hung up on “quietest” as the most important. It’s not.

The Vent 1 looks really interesting, I actually have one on it's way to my SOT

How "quiet" a suppressor is super low on my priorities list in picking a suppressor. Most of the comparable suppressors sound close to the same. After application, quality and customer service/product support ranks the highest.

Fuck PTR, get anything else at this point.

Can't go wrong with most cans on the market, but I like big volume cans for 99% of my shooting where size/weight isn't much of a concern. Sitting next to someone running 6.5cm through a TBAC338 vs. Banish 30 is more comfortable, and the recoil impulse of the TBAC338 gives you a nice warm fuzzy feeling.

Now if you aren't sure if "quietest" is what you should be concerned about, know that people underestimate the difference of an extra 8-12+ oz on the end of a lever when moving quickly.. And when you are swinging that sword trying to get into positions quickly, the added diameter also becomes a lot more of a factor.

I still vote TBAC338 personally, but I dont know if its actually the best option for OP.

Not sure what your beef is with PTR but they seem to have great suppressors.

I do! Because TBAC makes the best cans and are a great company and will they still be around when these others companies are a distant memory.

 

[msgriff]

Here's a link to suppressor testing that TBAC did last year. There are a couple other organizations who have also published testing data. If you're running a gas gun, there is more to be concerned about than just noise reduction.

PTR is currently sending C&Ds to other manufactures claiming they own the patent on 3d printing as a manufacturing process of suppressors.

Would be interesting if they actually have a patent to know what exactly the principle says. The purpose of a C&D is not normally to shut them down but to sell licenses and to maintain their ownership of the patent. My concern would be how broad they cast their net in the patent and what it’s real scope is.

 

[FNG1001]

CGS Hyperion is a great can. Get the scope chap for it and you wont by unhappy.

Don’t know if it’s the quietest, but at 127Dba, it’s good. I have one on order.

A more traditional suppressor design than our over-the-barrel designs, the Reaper brings superior sound suppression in a concise package.

They do, but so do enough other manufactures that I will take my money elsewhere until their C&D drama is clarified.

Suppressors - Otter Creek Cease and Desist

From Instagram. Sounds like Otter Creek got smacked with a sense and desist by PTR/Centre Firearms who claim to have patented 3D Printed Cans.

When I spoke to Zak, I mentioned I was interested in the shooter’s ear number only.

He said to sort by the raw SE dB (shooter’s ear) column. The dBA column is A-weighted, which is some theoretical estimate on how the human ear works. He suggested to just go by the raw numbers.

Going by that (and 308) then the Otter Creek Hydrogen L is the winner. I bought that and the TBAC Magnus full size. The stouter Magnus is for my 22-250 bolt gun for higher-volume pdog shooting (also for my AR15) and the Hydrogen L is for a walk-around or lower volume bolt gun. Both are 308 versions as there is a chance I will shoot a 30cal through them, and any 6.5 version prob wouldn’t knock down the dB enough to matter.

Can’t tell the difference with ear pro. Which you should be wearing due to the sonic crack.
