I am wanting to know what to get for my first suppressor. It will be on mostly magnum calibers (7mag, 28 nosler, 7mm prc). I want the best bang for my buck under $1000 disregarding wieght. I can’t tell if one is a whole lot better than another just by the spec sheets. I had seen the silencerco omega 300 and it seemed like a pretty decent one for $600.
I have an omega 300 and it’s a great multi-can, the Scythe®-Ti is also a great one. But you might look at RUGGED ALASKAN 360 $868.00 probably the best all around suppressor for everything even pistols, you never know when you’ll decide to get a lever action 357
Okay, I won’t be shooting anything bigger than a 7mm bullet, so a 30 cal can is all I would need. Would you say that there is a noticeable difference between a omega 300 and something like the synthe ti?
Only real difference is weight, as the Ti is a lot less weight, so if you’re hiking into the backcountry you might want to pay for the extra weight savings. But I know the Alaskan is a pretty nice can, I made the mistake of thinking I just wanted a 30 can for all around hunting, thinking one and done.. and I just purchased my 7th can…As I’m sure most guys on here thought the same…but know now if I would’ve had all the info I probably would’ve just bought the Alaskan 360 TI, super lightweight, super quiet, and covers all my hunting rifles plus my handguns up to 357. If you have a $1000 budget, and are going omega route, you should buy a 22 can, as it takes 22 to a whole new level!
I have a the following-
specwar 556
Omega 300
ZEV/CGS Kraken 9
Rugged oculus 22
Rugged Obsidian45
Resilient Jolene S
Just ordered a EchoCore Topo 22
I own a number of suppressors from, off the top of my head, tbac, dead air, surefire, rugged, Q, silencerco.
From a sound suppression standpoint I can’t tell a bit of difference between any of them. If I’m shooting a 308 size or smaller chambering, I can get away with one or two shots without wearing hearing suppression. Any bigger chambering, or more shots will ring my ears which means there’s damage being done. Therefore I have to wear earpro when shooting a magnum, or something like a 270 / 280 , or doing a lot of training at the range even with a smaller caliber.
The main differences are size and weight. Depending upon your specific situation that can play a big role. If you’ve got a really lightweight hunting rifle with a really thin Barrel, putting a big honking heavy suppressor on the end of it messes up the balance and generally just doesn’t work that well. On the other hand if you got a big bull barrel target rifle then putting something big on the end isn’t that big of a deal. I do enjoy a couple of suppressors that have a muzzle brake at the end of them. Yes they are louder but yet again I’m wearing earpro no matter what for these guns. They do reduce recoil more.
Don’t spend any time looking for something like full auto rating, heat signature, flash signature. Those coming handy for semi-auto rifles/ars
The one other big thing you need to consider is mounting attachment style. Direct thread certainly is the easiest to work with but if you’re going to be switching suppressors between different guns a lot, or shooting a lot suppressed and then unsuppressed, a quick detach method can come in handy. Personally, I’m gravitating more towards a one suppressor for one specific rifle type of setup.

What do yall think about the dead air nomad ti for 1000? It will primarily be on a tikka t3x superlite chambered in 7mm magnum
Top 3 right now for hunters. should all be around that $1k mark.
Airlock ZG 30 (1-2 db quieter than what was tested)
UM Reaper
Dead Air Nomad TI XC
I vote for Airlock but long lead times, they just opened up for orders with a August delivery, plus if you don’t live in Idaho you’ll have a larger then normal transfer fee as there not on silencer shop or silencer central… my resilient Jolene S is super lightweight and has a real good sound and if you can find one there in that $700 range
Have one on a 280AI.
Works well
this is my favorite of the 4 suppressors I have
For what it’s worth, I’m waiting on the Lyman Sonicore suppressors to make their way to the market. Their OTB Paradox and Rekkr options look good to me and I really like the $249 dollar price point. For a hunting rifle that you may only shoot 1-3 times at an animal, that price is hard to pass up. I own several: GSL Multi-Cal, Harvester Evo, Rugged Alaskan, Axiom, and they all work and do a good job with sound suppression, but they are more expensive for sure.
