Silencerco Scythe TI review

[B_Reynolds_AK]

For the range it is needed I think, but I don't use mine hunting.

I keep one on my Scythe when sheep hunting, just to keep from damaging it in rocky terrain. My barrel always seems to get bumped on rocks.

I use a full rifle cover and the can slips inside. Protects it all

Is a suppressor cover essential for a hunting rifle? I am still waiting on my Scythe, so I haven’t tried it yet. I am not interested in being tactical or camouflaged. I just want to know if I am going to need a cover for a suppressor if I rarely expect to fire more than a few 5-shot groups to confirm zero and then use it for hunting.

Required? No, Necessary? Yes.
My buddy didn't think he needed one on his Scythe because he built a hunting rifle and wouldn't be shooting it that much (first time suppressor user). With the Scythe being a tubeless design, it heats up VERY quickly and mirage becomes very bad very quickly. He found out it was a huge pain in the butt to get anything done at the range because he spent 90% of the time getting the can to cool off. The good news is being a tubeless design it cools down much quicker than my traditional tubed titanium suppressor. With a mirage cover is doesn't get pretty bad until after 3-5rnds of 7PRC in a 22" Proof CF barrel on a 90degree day. It was certainly a case of shooting 3 rnd group then switching rifles.

Recommendations as to which one would be useful? I don’t want a piece of junk, but I also don’t want to break the bank.

For a commerical cover I got a can chaps I like, has a silicone type material on the inside and 3 straps, vs a bunch of cord wrapped around it.

For my can in jail currently I'm going to try the carbon felt welding blanket route folks have discussed.

I just ordered one of these for my Scythe's. At $26 I'm willing to give them a try. You cut them to size so I'm hoping to get two out of one. I have burn proof gear and Armageddon gear covers as well both are very nice.

I haven't used a commercial cover, but I've very much enjoyed the single wrap of 6mm carbon felt covered with a wrap of coban. I can get through quite a few rounds pretty quickly.... Probably only need to let it cool after 7-8 shots of a 243 at 75F

I like the can chaps covers but I usually go without a cover for hunting.
