SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[khuber84]

Purchased mine in December 2024.
Ran it on a 26” and 22” 300 RUM for about a hundred rounds total, then on a 20” 300 RUM for 5 rounds when it failed. Serial number 18xxx.
Catastrophic failure. No baffle strike.
Interestingly, bullet still impacted properly on target. Front half of can went passed the 100 yard target.

Impressive! I will not put my scythe on anything with a magnum case head, I really don't want to pick up the pieces!

I bought mine to use on a 20" 7 PRC and a 22" 300 PRC. Looks like I need to find something else for that job. I'll probably just stick it on my Tikka .223 trainer and leave it.

They rate it at 300 RUM with no barrel restrictions.
They need to beef it up a little.

With that being said, who makes one that won’t fail on a short barrel RUM?
Lots of them are guaranteed, but I don’t want to have to use the warranty.

TBAC magnus line is one that I’d feel a lot better about. Rated for 300 rum @ 14.5”. Have fun paying for / waiting for one though.

There’s a reason they’ve long been the gold standard.

I’d love to get my dirty little hands on a Magnus s RR. Maybe one day…

Just submitted my paperwork for another TBAC tonight. Waiting to submit paperwork for a couple more that are on order.

Better to get started on it today than tomorrow.

Well, I was already talking to silencer co about another can and decided to ask about the failures with this can since I want to buy one for a hunting rifle.

Here is what I asked: "I've seen a handful of people posting pictures of the scythe TI breaking right at the second weld. Do you guys know if it was a bad batch or how you guys fixed the problem?"

Their response: No those are well under 1% of Scythes out there and it's typically due to misuse.

Take it for what you will but they don't think they have a problem and believe it's customer misuse.

Did you ask what kind of misuse? I would love to know.

Maybe I'll call them tomorrow and ask all hot about it saying I don't want to end up blowing mine up.

338 Ultra for the 22 Creed, Ultra 9 for the 223, and a 22 takedown for the kid.

Would be curious to know the “misuse” as well - seems odd.

338 Ultra is my favorite can I own. You’ll love it.

This is in line with the response I got a while back as well

I've got one I use on my 22 Creeds right now. It definitely does what I wanted it to on the Creeds which was max suppression. Pretty dang quiet. I just don't like swapping them back and forth depending which rifle I take out. So that's why I decided to grab another.
