Looking at picking up a tikka roughtech in 6.5prc in the next week or so, also looking to pair up my first suppressor with the new tikka.
I want to use the suppressor across a couple various rifles, from a 26" 300wm to a 16" 223 bolt gun and ar.
The omega 300 dt is looking like a solid choice for a first suppressor, but it is a touch heavy compared to some other models.

Am I asking for trouble hanging 14-15oz off a roughtech barrel? It will be the lightest profile barrel I own. Some other options I've looked at in the 500-800$ range can weigh under 10 oz, but might lack some durability?

Any thoughts on a good first suppressor? Full auto rated isn't needed, most it would see is maybe a mag dump out of an ar, most of its life will live on bolt action hunting rifles.
 
While a suppressor will change your POI, a heavy one won’t cause problems with your barrel. It will just be a pain in the ass. Putting 15 oz at the end of a 26” barrel is a lot of leverage. Suppressors are a lifetime purchase. If you aren’t sure about something and you go ahead and buy it, you are effectively stuck with it. Save your money and buy a quality can that is suited to what you intend to do with it. That said, I can’t think of a single suppressor that is rated for 300 WM that won’t do what you are talking about and hold up in the long run.
 
For a few years I had the exact rifle but in a 6.5cm with 24”. Used a harvester can (similar to omega but a bit lighter at 11oz) and it’s worked well. Rifle actually shot better with the can. The overall length was pretty darn long that’s why I cut the barrel down to 18”. Would not recommend that length of rifle if you hunt thicker areas
 
I ended up buy a Jolene S can. the light weight was a big seller to me, and 650$ was hard to pass up.
Ill get a 22 cal can in a few months, and then if I want a uber quiet something ill shop for another 30 cal can without weight being a factor.
