Diligent Defense Enticer L-Ti Hunting Setup

[chillybean]

Trying to decide between the Diligent Defense Enticer S-Ti and L-Ti for my Tikka T3X Lite .308 20" barrel. This setup is mainly used for hunting whitetail (tree stand, blind, still hunting). I'm leaning towards L-Ti because of the better sound suppression but am wondering if the length/weight would be an issue? I can see why someone would go with the S-Ti if they were backpack hunting in the mountains or something but would the increased length/weight be as much of an issue for hunting in the whitetail woods? Does anyone have experience with either of these for hunting purposes? TIA

I have roughly both. The DD STI and a DA LTI (same specs roughly).

I personally think for hunting I’d want short/light with good enough suppression. I wouldn’t ever hunt with my LTI. It’s a great range can and if I want that extra few db I will put it on.

I don’t think in a hunting environment you’ll notice the difference in sound. You will notice the difference in weight and length off the front of your rifle.

There are probably better (suppression) shorter/lighter cans available currently too.

My first can was an ultra 9 as I wanted max suppression. Found i hardly ever used it other than for a range toy as it was 9" long.

Lots of good smaller and lighter weight cans these days that you will be much more likely to use consistently since you wont feel like you're swinging an I beam around.
