Suppressor considerations

[Kenny Hart]

Any feedback yet on the Magnus-S-RR? I have my eye on it and the K. What made you go with it instead of full length or the K?

Don't get a K silencer unless your use case includes still wearing full hearing protection for shooting, otherwise you're going to be very disappointed.

The K is not hearing safe on 5.56, and the K-RR isn't hearing safe on anything. The RR is the same weight/length as the S, so most are going to gravitate to much better suppression and tone.

The full sized can is nice, but for something like hunting, most people don't view the moderate increase in performance as worth having 9" silencer on the end of their barrel. I can personally tell you that it sucks, having gone the "full sized, max suppression" route for my first can.

The 7" is the nice happy medium that is hearing safe for a limited number of shots, and still a reasonable size.

Thanks for the info. Use case is going to be mostly on a 30cal, and specifically eyeing it for a 300wsm build (running w/a 20" Proof CF barrel, so just need to figure out the CB/SR mount deal).

Appreciate the feedback on sound reduction - I'm looking for a good balance of noise reduction and recoil reduction on the 300wsm. It seems like the S-RR would be a good go between. Looks like 8.4"-9.1" and 14-16.5oz depending on CB/SR mount

You don’t want SR for a hunting gun. Un needed weight and length. Iv had zero issues with CB, even for PRS 100+ round days.

I have a full size standard and a KRR. I’d like a full size RR specifically for magnum use. Looks like the S RR teeters on the edge of hearing safe. The KRR is loud, still quieter than bare muzzle. I bought it mainly as a game gun suppressor. Been doing quite a bit of shooting with it on the end of a 3006 and it’s making me want a full size to use on a big 30 cal.

If the guns not built yet I would spend some time thinking about balance around a larger suppressor.

The big suppressors definitely cut a little more recoil, but my Magnus K RR is alone level of reduction to my Magnus on my 3006.
