Silencerco Scythe TI review

[greyghostnw]

Sounds like a gen 2 be worth waiting for and move on to something else if in the market.

My scythe only has maybe 500 rounds through it of 18" 6 creed, 18" 22 creed, and 24" 6.5 creed. No problems so far, but none of those rounds are burning more than 43 grains of powder.

4 or 5 failures in this thread is definitely concerning. However, I wonder what the sales of these are in comparison to the others mentioned in this thread - nomad TI XC, DD STI. Have to imagine it is at least 4-5X.

I think personally they sell a lot more. And with that a higher number of failures isn’t surprising. But talking safety and what they advertise for a can even with the group here having half a dozen isn’t cool.

True but the ratio of people on this site who have a scythe and have had it fail seems high. Rokslide scythe owners is a pretty small % of total scythe owners I would think.

It’s almost like the same theory when the “L” scopes are brought up. They sell a lot of scopes so we’re going to see more failures.

Just another reason to shoot 6mm's and not 30 cals...

That’s what I’m saying as well. Seems like a bigger problem then they are giving credit to (regardless of sales numbers).
