SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[jbwright]

I've been tracking this thread for over a month. Ordered a scythe ti mid-dec after what I'd thought was decent due diligence. They're currently backordered but my order is in...has anyone"returned" a backordered can and ordered a diff can either from the same or another manufacturer? Or is that a no go?

Suppose if it blows apart I’ll just swap over to my rugged alaskan ti until silencerco gets it sorted.

How do you like the rugged Alaskan ti? I’m in the market for a lightweight can for my 22” 300 win and it checks a lot of boxes…..

Put me in the camp off a failure. Mine blew up today. Hasn’t seen a lot of use either. Blew apart at second baffle weld. Found my cover with the 3rd baffle in it 20 yards down range and the rest of the baffles and end cap about 50 yards down range. So two wells actually broke. No baffle strikes. This was with a 20 in 280 ai. The west this thing has seen us about 50 rounds of 300 prc from a 22 in barrel. Prolly 200ish rounds from an 18 in 6.5 creed, 150ish from a 20 in 280 ai a handful from A 20in 6 arc. Hope tge take care of this and it looks good when complete.

For those that have gotten them repaired, how did the repairs turn out? Will they use new baffles or do they repair with the parts you sent in ?

Thanks for chiming in. I'm still toying with getting a scythe....Hopefully you added your vote to the poll at the top.

Sorry I can't answer your questions.

Small sample size, but we are currently at a 9.375% failure rate. Interesting.

From what I understand if they haven't put the serial on the tax stamp yet you should be able to switch, which seems like if they're backordered they probably don't have a serial to attach yet.

Sample size is growing. Just shy of 10% is way too high.

I moved mine on to a creedmoor today from a short barreled WSM. I’ll still hunt with it but don’t want to deal with the BS to have it on for practice.

They are going to get sued. I’m calling it now. Someone will get hurt eventually and they clearly have the evidence there’s an issue so proving negligence shouldn’t be too hard. Hell this thread could be used in court maybe .

Very small sample size considering the actual number sold and in use. I’m sub 300 SN and my buddy is around 20,000 SN purchased in November.

There are only 100 people on this poll. I wouldn’t put any weight on what the poll has generated so far other than to just keep an eye on it.
