Analysis Paralysis! Help me with a suppressor decision please

[DAVESM1TH]

I have a Tikka T3x Roughtech 7mag that I use for elk and mule deer. I'd like to suppress it. With that being said, I've spent countless hours drilling down to a few cans that I think would do the job balancing weight, length, suppression. I don't mind paying for the right gear, HOWEVER, I do like to save some $$ where it makes sense. i.e. is "X" can really $500 better than "Y" can. I'm looking to keep length to 5-7" since I have a 24" barrel that I'm not chopping. I'll be going with direct thread - I may swap it to a Howa 308 sometimes but it wouldn't be often.

Help me out here folks

• Scythe Ti - seems to be the lightest around, but I can't get past the fact that I can't see a comparison on pewscience
• Diligent Defense Enticer L-Ti - longer and heavier than I would like, but the decibel reduction is fantastic. Lower cost is a plus as well
• Diligent Defense Enticer S-Ti - length and weight are right, not a quiet as the L obviously, price is right
• Resilient Jolene S - very light, length is right, cost is right. Seems to be very similar to the Scythe? What's the downside here?
• TBAC Ultra 7 - I've had this on my wishlist for... well, years really. Known for their commitment to precision, it seems like a no-brainer, but then again here we are.

Any wisdom is appreciated

Ultra 7
Have a 5,7,9. HERX flow through that is terrible and and old Gemtech quick attach.

The 7 is the Goldilocks. TBAC customer service is great and you can buy the adapters for $125 and move it very easily to other rifles.

There’s a thread on here about Scythe failures. It seems like most were on magnums. I would pass because of that.

I’m a TBAC fan. So I would personally pick the Ultra 7

I have all those cans; It's not on the list, but I would choose an AB Raptor 8 stack.

Love my Ultra 7, but who isn’t gonna say that…

My Dilligent Defense Wolf hunter is a very good can too, it’s their 6mm version.

If you are gonna buy just one, don’t feel like it’s a waste to get the Ultra 7 and pay a little more for what they do. You are least likely to get a problem with the Ultra 7…

I'll look into it, much appreciated!

Where does the Jolene S stand in that line up compared to the scythe?[/QUOTE]

No love for Banish Backcountry? That’s what I’m running and it’s great.

You can’t go wrong with the TBAC ultra 7.
Not on your list but the B&T srbs 7.62 is burly and can take abuse. No barrel restrictions and 30 cal. May not need either of those but it’s built for it.
As others have stated just use the search feature on the scythe ti. U may choose to purchase but just a heads up.

Just get the Nomad XC and be done with it.

I just went through the same decision making process. I just bought a Diligent Defense Enticer S-Ti over the weekend and submitted my Form 4 yesterday. I can't make any in person comparisons between these, but I bet all of those would be great - any of those listed, or any of the AB cans suggested by others.

My vote: get whatever you think will make you happiest. You are married to this thing, so pick your top choice and don't look back (with reasonable expected availability if not currently in stock....IMO doesn't make sense to wait forever before you get some experience and need something specific). For me, that was a basic welded can that saved a little $$ over some other offerings. This savings will go to a new rifle or threading one of my barrels...tbd.

They are very similar, with a standard end cap on the scythe.

I think this is the route I'm going to take

I don't own an XC, but I have shot one and would still take the AB 8 over it. If the AB didn't look like a sex toy, they would be FAR more popular.

I'm not gonna lie, that's why I wasn't considering the AB after looking into it hahaha

This quote wins the day.

I have an AB. They are great. I prefer it over my banish back country. Scythe failures scare me so I’d shy away from it. Never shot the nomad.
