Best can for a ,223?

[JPB3]

would like to get a suppressor for a bolt .223.. Be nice if could find one that's short, light and effective! Asking too much ??

Any recommendations ?

Thanks much !

DD wolf hunter would be one to look at. It is next on my to buy list, though I also have a 6.5 bore hydrogen S that sounds pretty good on my 223.

How much are you looking to spend?

I personally wouldn't go with a super short can (such as a TBAC Ultra 5 or Yankee Hill) as suppression is all about volume. TBAC Ultra 7, Dead Air Nomad 30, Silencer Co Scythe all have pretty good reviews.

I use a Gunwerks 8ight 30 cal can on my 223 (and other bolt guns) and it's very quiet.

I use my .30 cal can on my .223 and it works great and is super light. Silencerco Scythe TI. I imagine you could get a little better performance from a dedicated 556 can, but I like the diversity.

Given that you didn't also say "cheap", you have a lot of good options. But it would be pretty hard to beat the Silencerco Scythe in Titanium. It's just over 7 ounces, and a hair over 6 inches. Another good option would be the CGS Helios in Titanium, which is about 12 ounces, IIRC, and about 6.5 inches.

Man, they knocked it out of the park with the packaging and design, that's a pretty cool looking package.

I coulda done without the pimp style gold embossed lettering, if they sent it in a plain, plastic tube. Can't figger out why the humongous box, other than them bein' pimps....

The DD Wolf Hunter is exceptional. On my 18.5-in. 243, it sounds shockingly quiet. Never used it on 223, but it has to be good.

For dedicated 223 cans, the Banish 223 is superb on my Tikka with 17-in. barrel. I like it a lot. It’s quieter than the Dead Air Sierra 5, AB A-10 Warthog, and Banish Speed-K, which are all smaller.

Scythe-Ti is in bound, and it’s versatility is hard to beat.

I’d be interested in the griffin Optimus micro. I have a few sico cans, a dead air and will have a OCL polonium k as my “dedicated” .223 can but I liked that one since it’s 6mm compatible

 

[StupidLightweight]

My concern with the Optimus Micro on a 223 would be lack of volume. I’m sure it would rock on my 17 Hornet though.

Run my rugged 30 cal can on my ar and all my bolt 223. Love rugged, local in South Carolina, belt fed rated and lifetime warranty.

C.A.T white bread or DD wolf hunter

Cost isn't too much of an issue..

Lots of good advice here, thanks !

In that case, definitely check out the white bread. Its lighter and smaller than the wolf hunter but it performs very well on my 22 creed. Its incredible on an 11.5" AR with supers, so I'd guess it'd be awesome on a longer 223 bolt gun too

 

[FireDuck401]

I’m running a Scythe on my .223s
It’s great, even on my 11.5” AR

 

[SloppyJ]

Wolfhunter for me. Had it for about 6mo and it's really good on both my 6 creed and my 223. The scythe works well too but the smaller bore on the WH works that much better.

Allen Engineering AEM5 or Gordon M4 sound amazing without adding too much length to the end of your barrel due to the reflex design. Dated design? Yes. Amazing performance? Also yes.
