Scythe-Ti recoil reduction

[Sevens]

Can’t find an answer for this, but would a Scythe-Ti with its 1.73” diameter tube reduce recoil better than a similarly sized 1.5” diameter can (Enticer-STi, Harvester EVO, etc.)

Interested in the Scythe Ti if it will reduce recoil more than my Harvester EVO. The weight savings is a plus, but not worth getting if minimal recoil reduction difference. Happy with sound suppression on the EVO.

I don't see a lot of difference between my longer thinner cans and my shorter thicker ones when it comes to recoil reduction. That being said, I haven't tried them back to back on the same gun as my cans tend to ride on the same rig for life.

I have one in jail but haven’t shot it.

I do think it will. But not because of its width. Its mini brake will help. I think this because it does on the omega 30 with its brake (have shot). It’s a little brake with min added weight but will help.

At twice the price of the evo though…..that is a personal choice.

Bumping this. Been wondering if the anchor brake from the omega would be a useful addition to this in situations where recoil reduction is at a premium like in comps. It seems like when burning a lot of powder the answer is yes and when burning 30-42 grains like lots of comp guns not so much. The posted recoil reduction numbers on the new tbacs seem to indicate that as well.

I have no experience with an evo. But I do have 2 omega 300s both with flush end caps. I shot a 7.8lb 300wsm with a scythe that made me instantly buy one. Recoil reduction wasn’t really a focus point. It was more the OAL and the weight, doing a great job with sound reduction. My scythe will also have flush end caps, much like my omegas making it lighter and shorter. I don’t think recoil reduction will be drastically different but the evo should buck a little more energy.

Is Recoil noticeably different with a scythe compared to a 4 or 5 port side baffle brake on a 300? A 300 rum?

I have the OG harvester and the Scythe.

I have shot both on a 6.5 and .308 and can’t tell a difference recoil wise.

Yes, VERY different. The Scythe or any silencer will have MUCH more recoil…but the lack of noise is well worth the trade off.

You're missing the point of a suppressor completely.

 

[Tahoe1305]

I’m not sure I agree with the above statement completely.

A suppressor does tame recoil a bit IMO but agree that intended purpose should be noise reduction….that said they are still “loud” too.

A good can will do both but primarily sound. It won’t do anything near as good as your multiport brake on a big cartridge like that. You’ll miss your brake.

You can get the omega 300 brake and add it to the scythe. It still won’t be as good though. If I were to completely guess I’d be impressed if you approach half as effective as that brake. But it will “feel” better because the sound of a big rifle like that IMO contributes to the unpleasant shot experience. That’s reduced obviously.

Have the Harvester Evo & a Scythe. Felt both do a great job on recoil. But it was on two different rifles. 6 ARC and 6.5 Grendel. I’m referring to subjective felt recoil.

I’d guess some of that is the reduced muzzle blast and possibly a more extended recoil pulse/velocity when suppressed. The Sythe is a sweet unit, but 2.5x the cost of an Evo, $1,000 vs $400 (on a close out sale I presume), makes one think. Considering another EVO at that price.

Not really. Perhaps your missing the point of keeping a precise rifle precise and utilizing it with heavy for caliber bullets. Ill take precision with ear plugs and a 5 port brake that i spot impacts before not wearing earplugs with a $1200 device that handicaps my rifle. Cutting barrels on magnums to have a suppressor carry well in hand with loss of velocity defeats purpose of a long range magnum let alone have significant more recoil. To each there own. With saying that if it has good recoil reduction id spin a suppressor on all day.

A different perspective. While a can won’t reduce recoil as much as a big brake the pressure and concussion on the shooter is much less and I’ve found that newer shooters do better with the can than they do with a big brake. If you ask which one they like better it’ll be the can every time. I kind of feel the same. I’ve shot so long that I’m used to the noise and concussion but I think I’ll say it’s just overall better shooting with the can. I think even if you think you’re immune to the noise, shock/concussion you’re still reacting to it more with the brake than a can. Anyway something to think about.
