SilencerCo Scythe Ti Owners: Have you had a catastrophic failure?

I'm tempted to toss mine on my 22" 300 PRC after the season and use it until it goes. It's been solid on my 6.5 Creed and 6 ARC so far, but who knows how long it'll last.

That group buy on the Unknown Suppressors is tempting - I'd swap my Scythe out for a US Reaper or the Airlock in a heart beat.
 
I head up after deer on a seven day backpack hunt in a couple days. Won’t have my new cans in time and with my luck it will “poof” on the one shot I get. How has point of impact been with the failure shots?
 
The SilencerCo line is that the maximum rate of fire for the Scythe is 10 RPM with factory ammunition and all failures are due to user abuse.

Exactly.

It would be interesting to film another failure in real time (I know there was already one posted in here several pages back). Shoot well under the accepted rate of fire and show it failing with factory ammo. Might get SiCo's attention, although I don't think much came from the other documented failure.

A restriction they don't publish (claim its in the manual which you said you couldn't find and definitely not an advertised prior to purchase restriction) and one they slander their users with claiming (with zero proof) it has been exceeded... CLASSY.

I was two shots into a 3 round group at 100. Two holes touching. I think the bullet is long gone by the time the can blew up
 
Yes, they were willing to repair or replace. Replacing, with a new serial number, will put it back in jail.
Interesting - I hadn't heard of SiCo offering to replace with the STM. Nice option, but the whole point of going with the Scythe Ti was the weight savings over steel.
