Another "First Suppressor" Thread

[waldo9190]

Hoping to pick up my first suppressor this year. Bolt action applications would be on a 21" 6.5 creed and a 20" 308. I would like to be able to thread this onto a 12" 5.56 for house/range use so I'm considering a couple steel options, but that isn't an absolute need.

I know there are a lot of great suppressors out there now, but would like to keep at or under $1k. The Enticer S Ti and the OCL Hydrogen S are probably towards the top of my budget once you factor in the stamp.

Honestly I'm sure I'd be absolutely tickled with any of these.

From your list, with budget being a factor, the AB A10 and OCL Polonium 30 are the two I’d look hard at. Not as familiar with the others, but both of these are close to $500, rugged, and suppress well.

Definitely consider where you are buying them from as well. After 10 years, I just got 2 through Capitol Armory and had a great experience. I’ve heard good things about Silencer central as well. Some of my decision was made by what was in stock and when. I was buying two but I had stock alerts on several for a few months before I purchased. Sorry I’m not up to date on the latest rifle suppressors but I’ll be watching this thread to learn.

SilencerShop or Capitol Armory are the only two places worth dealing with for most people. Silencer Central are constantly overpriced. There are some other dealers, but it really depends on your state then. I also won't touch Dead Air anymore with their chronic QC and customer service issues.

Get an OCL Infinity. Literally the fanciest thing on the market right now and comes with end caps to optimize everything bolt gun to AR.


Alternative: buy two
OCL Polonium 556
Diligent Defense Enticer

Then do Rearden mounts.

I cast my vote for the Omega, but if you asked me directly, I would tell you to buy a Nomad 30. Great suppression, good balance of weight, and no barrel restrictions.
If you budget was higher, I would recommend the Nomad XC

Based on all sorts of experiences I've read, I'm pretty much only going to go through either of those vendors.

There is also about a 2% chance that this is the only suppressor I ever buy.
