Dead Air Nomad Ti XC

[TWard]

Currently own 2 LTI XC. First is on a 7mm rem mag. Changed zero after installing. Not a lot but more than I thought it would be. Man does it make the magnum caliber pretty quiet.

Also was satisfied with DA customer service and talking to the folks before purchase. Super informative.

Thinking about jumping on a ti xc. Just looking for a lightweight can for hunting.

For gas Guns, I’m liking the OCL Polonium. It’s pretty sweet. OCL builds nice products and I have been impressed.

Omega has been just fine and good all-purpose that I swap between gas and bolt guns with ASR mounts.

Wish OCL could get that Hydrogen S can in stock. I’m super happy with my Polo 30 but would love a lighter one for hunting.

OCL must be limited on production. I have not found a consistent supply of their suppressors. I waited a couple of months for both the Polonium and a Lithium to get back in stock. I would like a Hydrogen L but was told they are not produced very often and not sure when the next run will happen.

The owner has said a few times that the Hydrogens are a very small fraction of what they sell, so they only do a few runs a year. The 6.5 hydrogen even less. I have four hydrogens, just have to watch for restocks to grab one.

Maybe if they were every in stock they'd sell more.

Considering a few suppressor options for the following rifles in my rotation.

- 18" 6 Arc Gasser (hunting + defense)
- 12.5 5.56 Gasser (some hunting but mostly defense)
- Tikka CTR in 6.5 Manbun (too heavy for hunting in current configuration)
- Tikka SL in 7 Mag - would have to be chopped/threaded (primary hunting rifle currently)

Thinking of the following to jump between them

- DA Ti XC - would this be a good fit for the gas guns?
- Scythe - same question
- CAT Noah or DA Lazarus - seem to be a good fit for the gassers

Is the best solution to optimize between the gassers and bolt guns?

Any insight welcome.

It depends on your priorities. Suppression vs back pressure. Personal experience, I use a Magnus on 300WM, 6.5 PRC, .308 (all bolt action guns), and 6.8 SPC AR. There's some gas coming back out the charging handle in that latter setup, I could mitigate that with a suppressor change such as a HUXWRX but, then I'm getting less suppression. Since my priority is suppression and I'm only shooting short target sessions or 1-2 rounds at game, I'm accepting more back pressure.

My wife, when shooting/ comparing a 20" 5.56 AR with a 5.56 HUXWRX and a Magnus, she preferred the HUXWRX because there's less gas coming out the charging handle for to inhale compared to shooting with the Magnus. She was fine with less suppression and less gas vs more suppression and more gas.

I put Superlative Arms bleed-off gas blocks on a few of mine and feel like they've done a good job with that.

Sure, but they are a small shop, and I think a huge part of their capacity right now is just filling back orders for the more popular models. Signup for stock alerts on a couple of the bigger sites, and you will get them in time. They go quicker on SilencerShop vs Hanson/Bauer/Etc.
