I Need Suppressor Education Please

[17CalFan]

For a prairie dog rifle, I would look really hard at an AB Raptor 10 with 5” reflex or 8 with a 3” reflex. The 10 w/ 5” reflex is going to be 16 ounces and 12” long (7” past muzzle). Stupid quiet (sonic crack will be what things hear). The 8 w/ 3” reflex will be about 12 ounces and 9” long (6” past muzzle). It will be very quiet, but not as quiet as the 10.

I own both those cans and really like them. The information below regarding mirage is specific to my experience with those those two cans on a 16” Tikka T3 with sporter barrel in.223:

With a decent suppressor cover, I have gotten 60 rounds of .223 off in 20 minutes without getting excessive heat mirage. I was shooting 10-shot rapid fire strings at 200 and 300 yards using my Tikka T3 with three magazines (I had to reload magazines in the middle of the session).

It won’t lower accuracy or FPS. I would expect a POI about 2” lower depending on your barrel profile and length.

The AB A-10 is another respectable option at a lower price point.

PS - welcome to RokSlide.

Ordered AB A-10, still a couple weeks out but looking forward to it.
