Silencerco Scythe TI review

[Harvey_NW]

Any thoughts on Scythe Ti vs 6ix+ Ti?

I recently did a pile of research comparing the two, and in another thread about direct comparisons via "bro science", the 6ix has also had a few reported failures, and ranked on the low end of the group in terms of sound suppression.

Neither are ranked high in terms of sound suppression, right? They’re both in that small/light/decent suppression category is what I thought. I think Hyperion K is a touch heavier but offers more suppression. Ya tough to decide for a first can if you’re not really planning to buy a bunch.

Yeah, but within that group there seems to be a pretty noticeable difference in suppression with the volume difference between say a 1.5"x6" and a 1.7"x6.5". Baffle design and end caps can also effect the tone of the shot. I've been very impressed with my Nomad Ti, but I fell victim to what the wise ones have said, and now I want at least 2 more.. lol!

Which cans are you looking at?

Modern Warriors has them in stock. I’ve ordered 3 suppressors from them. Takes about 3 biz days to ship to LGS.

Thanks for the heads up. Capitol Armory has them coming next week and let me pre-order one. Got one on order.

The Scythe-ti is pretty good on suppression in my opinion. At least the equal of the Hyperion K (though the K has always been on a gun with more powder capacity when I've heard it next to a Scythe-Ti) and very close to an AB Raptor 8. Close enough I would not want to make a better on which of the three was best on a Db reduction measurement.

None of my comparisons have been very intentional in nature though.

Yeah concur I would call the scythe “good” in comparison. There isn’t a ton of actual data (tbac summit, pewscience last I checked). But a lot of first hand comparisons reported here (including my own) have the scythe neck and neck with a lot of 7” cans. So saying it’s the best for suppression would likely fall short of many of the 8-9” cans but IMO it’s by far the best at sub 6” and holds its own well with anything 7” and under. And it’s lighter than almost all those as well.


Edit: when the front half blows off it’s even lighter too!

Was dead set on a Scythe until the recent occurrences.. so now Diligent Defense Enticer S Ti, Banish Backcountry, or another DeadAir seems to be the current list of options. As another member said previously I'd like to stick with a reputable brand in hopes of future support if needed, but I also just learned about Ecco machine that will fix them up, so the Jolene S from Resilient might be included. I'd just like SiCo to address if it was something like a weld alignment issue, or if there needs to be an update.

Agree, SiCo needs to say something. Anyone researching the scythe will undoubtedly see Rokslide pop and probably find this thread or the failure thread since “failure” is in the title.

Many times not saying anything is worse. Who knows though, maybe they are researching the failures and aren’t sure on what’s going on yet, idk. What I do know is there are/were people wanting to pull the trigger on a scythe but are now looking elsewhere or waiting, I’m one of them.

Posting this to both active Scythe Ti threads for anyone following.

Was watching the how-to video in anticipation of mine arriving once approved. At the 00:50 mark, he says, “The Scythe TI doesn’t have any barrel restrictions Within Reason, but if you put this on an 8” 300RUM, you’re probably not going to have a good day”.

I think it would be really helpful if they’d define what is considered “within reason” in light of the multiple weld failures with short barreled magnums.

Mine will be on an 18” 6.5Creedmore so I’m not too concerned but I feel bad for others who have had unexpected issues.

Just got the Wolfhunter in and was surprised at the length to girth ratio difference between the two. They weigh within .1 oz of each other.

My Scythe now weighs 8.7 oz, while the Wolfhunter weighs 8.8 oz.

I guess it’s time to clean my Scythe!

Did you get a chance to shoot the Wolfhunter yet?

Yeah, it’s amazing. Quieter than the Scythe on the 223.

I thought the same thing when I compared them. Can't wait to see some pics of it and the 22 creed next to a sheep.

Wolfhunter might be my next can. Too bad it doesn't go up to 6.5mm Seems like if it did, it would open it's self up to a lot more popular cartridges. I guess you gotta draw the line somewhere tho. Looks like it would be an awesome small caliber dedicated can tho.

There's always the option for an STI with a 6.5 end cap. I think the main difference between the STI and the WH is the last 2 baffles and the cap. I put a 556/6mm cap on my STI and it's pretty rad.

I think the wh has one 6mm baffle in the middle, along with the endcap, the rest are just the .30 ones.

There are 6.5mm cans out there. OCL, and TBAC are two, maybe others.

Did the Scythe have the 223 end cap?

 

[kswaterfowl]

I've shot the scythe w/223 end cap alongside the Wolfhunter, and the Wolfhunter is still noticeably quieter.

 

[B_Reynolds_AK]

Did the Scythe have the 223 end cap?

Yes it did.
