Silencerco Scythe TI review

[HighUintas]

I don't remember where I read it, but I think there was some measurements taken on recoil reduction and in most cases you can only expect maybe a 25% reduction in recoil from a suppressor.

The major benefit you get from a suppressor is reducing the blast to hearing safe levels and potentially being able to get a follow-up shot on an animal easier due to less less noise.

I can keep the Target within my scope at 15x at 100 yd when shooting a 147 out of my 6.5 cm using the factory Tikka stock. Spotting shots is primarily accomplished through recoil management and assisted by stock design or recoil reduction

The brake it comes with or 3 port?

The single port brake it comes with. I haven’t tried any other end caps.

Is that in comparison to running a flat end cap or no suppressor?

No suppressor. I haven’t tried any other endcaps.

A suppressor obviously isn't going to give you the recoil reduction of a big ported brake, but I refuse to put a brake on any of my rifles as I never double-up hearing protection especially in the field. The scythe does make it noticeably easier to spot my shots compared to bare muzzle.
