SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Tmcgarrigle]

I joined the catastrophic failure club.

Browning X Bolt, 300 Win Mag 1-8 twist shooting Federal Trophy Copper 180s.

8 rounds through the gun over about 90 minutes (a lot of it was tinkering with the scope and my dope charts). 9th round and it blew apart at the weld.

How many total rounds did you have through it?

 

[Blacktail_Brown]

9 shots total through the suppressor? Or just that session?

Bummer - mine is holding strong, but haven’t shot any larger cartridges through it yet.

I'm still surprised they have the no restrictions thing... And on the site it doesn't say anything about the 10 shot per minute. Is that in some flyer that comes with the can?

 

[ThreeOhSeven]

I don't remember seeing anything in the packaging about it. This happened on the 3rd shot of the day. I always shoot 3, then wait to cool.
It was definitely alarming when it happened. I instantly knew what happened and starting laughing. The guys in the benches a few benches down were in shock haha.

I almost wonder if they should be making the second and third baffles with thicker walls to get more surface area for the welds. Of course I think a lot of us know the best solution at this point is to buy an Unknown Reaper

It's almost a game now waiting for mine to blow up. It's not if, but when. Another 60 rounds of 6.5 man bun this weekend and nothing. Some were pretty decent strings to. Damn prairie dogs were thick.

Worries me my scythe will fail.

Don't worry. Just plan on it

I'll admit, Silencer Co customer service has been responsive and I am expecting a week turn around.

 

[Timjohnson11]

Responsive yes, but while also continuing to deny there is anything remotely wrong with the Scythe… They told me last week that the Scythe’s warranty rate is “inline to below” the average rate across all their products and have no plans to change anything about the can or restrictions/disclaimers..

Lol, they may not be lying. Their other products might just have an even higher rate of failure.

There's just no way, no freaking way.

How many of the “yes” votes do you guys think joined RS because their scythe failed and this thread was linked everywhere a discussion of scythes takes place?

 

[matthewmt]

Has anyone not had a catastrophic failure with the scythe with a high round count? I'm waiting for mine to go any time now.

Seems like there's a lot of high round counts in the 223/standard case zone. I recall one failure with 6.5 creed?

I have one with over 1000 22-250/22 creed but I gave up trying to be the smallest cartridge to blow and moved mine to 223s.

Seems like most failures are big cartridges.

Maybe the guy that's writing Ryan and Jake a 13-page letter about cursing can make a spreadsheet for us.

I have about 1300 rounds through mine and it hasn’t broken yet. I don’t know that’s really a “high” round count though. I’d say that ~ 1250 of the hose were 6.5 creedmoor, the rest was just a bit of 308 and 30-06 when I very first picked it up.

 

[TradLife406]

Anyone had a Harvester evo go poof? Thought early in this thread there was mention of it.
When I bought my Thunderbeast I wanted a second can for my kid at a cheaper price. Kinda dumb. Scheels was running a sale that day. Impulse bought the Harvester Evo. I usually let the tism loose and research stuff before I buy.

I emailed Silencer Co about using it on a 16.5" 22 or 6 creed. They said it'll be fine.... So far on the 6.5 Creed it's been good. But I know that short 22 will be asking a lot of it.
