Rugged Alaskan360 vs Alaskan360 ti vs other

[AlaskaRed]

Looking for some experience on the topic of suppressors. Not the most well read on this conversations as they have always been a non starter for me. I am building a 7mm backcountry with around a 16.5" barrel. I wanted a suppressor that will work well in that case. I also have a 338 norma that makes the alaska 360 enticing for practice. So, now who has experience with either version of the alaska 360? I would probably use either with the direct thread mount. Open to opinions and experience with other suppressors as well for my use case. Also, please if you give opinions please let my know why you have concluded your opinions as that is helpful to me.

A lot of people around here hate that suppressor. I haven’t used the Alaskan, but apparently it is not good.

I recommend getting an Airlock ZG 7, Ultra 7, Nomad Ti XC, Reaper, or Raptor 8 for the 7 PRC.

Edit - but I would check barrel length restrictions on some of these.

And a Raptor 8 or 10 or TBAC Magnus (or similar) for the .338.

Interesting. What are the said reasons for the hate?

I will look into those a few were already on my short list like the Raptor, Reaper, and Ultra 7. Why do you recommend those?

Honestly using it on the 338 is a secondary objective. I need it to work well on the 7BC first.

Just do a forum search for the Alaskan. You can decide if the hate is justified.

I own two 7.62 Raptors. An 8 w/ 3” reflex and a 10 w/ 5” reflex. I’m pleased with the suppression and durability so far. Neither is the lightest can I own, but they are great at my desired purpose.

I don’t own a Reaper, but I do own an OG and OG 6.5. I’d have no concerns about using a high pressure cartridge like the 7 BC with any US/UM can (edit - from a durability perspective, the OG would probably be too loud for a 16.5” 7BC). The Reaper - to me - is the best “general purpose 6” can” on the market.

I don’t own a TBAC can, but I have seen and used them at my local range enough to believe that TBAC’s reputation is deserved.

The new Airlock ZG cans appear to be one if the best hunting options, but not sure about them on a 7BC and a 16.5” barrel. My ZG 6.5 is currently in jail.

Good to know. The raptor really has me intrigued for the reported "tones" being better. Probably stuck staying at the 8 for a short 7bc.

I really like the idea of a reaper being light and the SRS muzzle brake for it. I am less concered with noise than I am with overall percussion suppression. Less recoil is always a bonus.

Do you have one? What does super loud mean? If you do how does it handle the percussion and recoil aspects?

The “tones being better” with over-the-barrel suppressors is highly subjective and probably matters most to bystanders, not the shooter. Some cans will have a nails-on-chalkboard effect for bystanders. I am not one of those people, but some of the folks at my local range have commented that they like the tone better from my OTB cans (even ones where they notice that it is louder than another option).

It’s probably about like some people who like cilantro and others who think it tastes like soap. Or people who immediately smell asparagus or coffee in urine, while others don’t.
