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.

MOA STEALTH COVER

The MOA STEALTH suppressor cover is a silicone suppressor cover made from high-performance grade silicone for the use of any firearm suppressor that the cover can be fitted too safely. The covers have been designed and field-tested to withstand the wide variety of harsh elements and conditions...

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.

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.

.3mil down?

 

[solarshooter]

.3mil down?

Correct, and 0.1 right.

 

[Tahoe1305]

The down shift in my experience is pretty common in all suppressors I’ve shot. Just the effect of hanging a 1/2lb+ object off the end of a 2’ stick. It’s repeatable which is most important.

Enjoy it!

Getting a factory brake off my LWRC took boiling in a pot 4 times and a 24 hr soak and still needed a action wrench and a 2' cheater bar to get the damn thing off.

Sheesh, I just put a couple of dabs on my suppressor this weekend… and I’m regretting it after seeing this. I believe I put 2 small spots on each threaded connection.

The stuff I got was gelatinous, so I probably applied more than I would have if I used blue loctite. Who knows how much of that rocksett smeared into the threads as a result.
