Hunting Suppressor

[pyle762]

I am looking for options for a suppressor to put on a hunting rifle. The rifle is a Bergara B-14 in 6.5 CM. I have never suppressed a hunting rifle before. I am hoping to keep everytjing under $1000 including the stamp. I like the direct thread option (5/8x24). I am leaning towards the SilncerCo Harvestor 300 right now. I like the weight of it but it is a tad on the long side. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

I went down the same path and after some discussion on here I decided to order a tbac dominus cb a month ago. Couldnt beat the size/weight/suppression when comparing multiple suppressors. I justified the additional cost by the fact its a lifelong purchase and that particular can will be much more versatile for my needs. A super LW hunting can that can pull double duty on an AR whenever I want and be dead nuts repeatable at long range on a bench etc.

That said you asked about under 1k all in, the harvester is $579 right now and if It isnt going to do anything but be on a dedicated hunting rifle its hard to beat fornthe price IMO.

Just my .02 im sure more guys with much more experience will chime in.

Purpose built for hunting use.
Reflex design only adds 4.5” to length
7oz. , 6” long , 5/8-24 direct thread.
Fits your use & price requirements.

Without a doubt I'd go TBAC Ultra 7 Gen2 Doesn't mean others don't make a good can too but TBAC makes excellent stuff.

Just keep your overall length in mind...if you have a 23" barrel and add 7" can thats mighty long rifle. I have a rugged radiant on a 18" barrel.

Was in the same boat not too long ago. Decided upon the SiCo Omega 300 for my first can.

My reasoning included:
1.) Can is transferable between all of my currently owned rifles (AR, 6.5, 30-06, 300 win., etc.)
2.) Full auto rated, while it's not exactly applicable I don't have to worry about overheating it
3.) It works with the area 419 mounting system,
4.) It has an integral (and removable) muzzle brake at the end (tbd if this worth a damn)

Essentially, my research determined that this was the most versatile can on the market, for my needs. Additionally, I've chopped my barrels to accommodate for the additional length.

That was months of research condensed into the most concise paragraph I could manage, hope it helps! My stamp was approved but hasn't arrived at my dealer yet, FWIW.

how much will a suppressor help reduce on a .308 cal rifle.....prob a stupid question but I'm not to schooled on these suppressors

To the point where you can shoot it several times within a short period of time and it doesn’t ring your ears

At least that’s how it works for me. Takes the ear ringing out of the equation. I still shoot at the range with ear pro though

YHM Resonator K 4.8" and 9.6 oz
Rex Silentium MG7 5.6 and 12.1 oz
Dead Air Nomad Ti 6.5" and 9.6 oz
Thunder beast Ultra 5/7 5"/7" and 6 oz/8 oz

I bought a Rex Silentium MG7 6.5 on sale for my 6.5 prc based on length, weight, price and magnum rated, it will probably be approved in a couple more months. Have a Resonator R2 on my 6.5 creedmoor and it does well, just a bit on the heavy side.
Dead Air and Thunder Beast titanium suppressors are great for hunting too, they can't be beat.

akrdkill, Maybe take a look at some of Ray's videos. Ray is part of TBAC but he tests and sound meters just about any suppressor he can get his hands on.

Harvestor was the first dedicated hunting suppressor and is great for what it is. If you want more versatility including different mounts then the Omega is a great option. If I remember correctly, it is 2 inches shorter than the Harvester, but 2 ounces heavier and a bit wider. I have 2 Harvestors and 1 Omega, but the Harvestor gets most of the work on my hunting Rifles. As others have said, Thunderbeast is the premium offering if you want the top of the line, but you will pay more money for it. I also love the recoil reduction with the built in brake. It brings my 6.5 Creedmoor down to 223 levels.

I also used a Griffin Sportsman Ultra Light 300. I like the weight of it, but I do not like the taper mount I have to use with it. Maybe that wouldn't bother some but direct thread is the better choice IMO.

I only shoot suppressed and have four cans. My next can will be the Dead Air Nomad TI. I have a Nomad and it is the best can I own. The Nomad TI shaves some ounces off.

22" 6.5 Creedmoor and 2 24" 300 Win Mags get most of the work. I also used it quite a bit on a 18" 308, but I sold that gun to my buddy and he now uses it with the same supressor for his kids as their elk gun.

How cumbersome is the rifle when a suppressor is mounted to the 24” barrels?

That is what I worry about with the Harvester also. Especially getting it through Couse woods.

are you looking for a suppressor to use on different rifles or one dedicated to the 6.5cm? If you don't need one rated to 300 win, there are likely more options. Also there is a can designed for 6.5mm and smaller, that might be of interest to you.

My longest barrel now that I hunt suppressed is 20". I really like my havester, but I might give the tbac 5 a look if I ever get another.
That said, 145db is 10 times more powerful sound than the 135db of the harvester. It's a LOT louder.
