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

I use a full rifle cover and the can slips inside. Protects it allI 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.
Required? No, Necessary? Yes.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.

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.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.

.3mil down?Wanted to add my personal review to this thread. Just shot my Scythe with the brake endcap on my 18" 6CM for the first time yesterday. ~0.3mil POA shift, groups unaffected. Sound reduction was hard to assess because I was at a busy range and had ear pro on the whole time, but it was obviously much quieter than every gun around me and had no cracks or pops I could discern - more of a smooth whoosh or hiss sound.
The effect on recoil is amazing, it slows everything down and reduces the magnitude all together. I can actively track the target through the scope throughout the whole shot process. Before, even with a low recoiling 6CM, the sharp kick meant that there was a jolt and the target jumped from one place in the sight picture to another. Yes it stayed in the picture but I was not able to watch it the entire time. Now I can. It could also be the case that due to reduced concussion I am keeping my eye open through the whole shot more easily, rather than subconsciously blinking in reaction to the concussion. Either way, it's a really noticeable difference.
I plan to chop and thread all my rifles now, and another can might find it's way into my life before too long.
Correct, and 0.1 right..3mil down?
