The right suppressor the first time

[hunterguy122]

I am in the market for my first Suppressor. I have read about all the reviews on here and endless reviews elsewhere, and the more I read the less I feel I am narrowing my decision down. I want a .30 cal can to be able to run on several different rifles.( I know, once you get one suppressor, you will get more)

With so many brands on the market, and the technology steadily improving, should a fella go with one of the "budget" sub $600-$700 cans or is it worth it to "buy once cry once"? and spend $1,000+? Is the difference in a $500 can and a $1200 enough for the price difference? Not against paying for quality, but does the price difference provide a can of equally or substantially greater value? With such good reviews on both the budget and the high dollar cans, it makes it difficult to determine not having access to shoot all of the cans and see for myself.

Use for this can will be in the following order:
Hunting
Target shooting/Training
Local matches (a handful of times a year)

I am essentially looking for the best multi cal can that doesn't hinder accuracy, provides the best value to price, has a track record for longevity and reliability, and one that is readily available. (I am aware a lot are currently out of stock with the removal of the tax stamp and influx of people buying)

Will be used on: .308, .300 Magnum, .223, 7mm Magnum, 6.5 and 6mm.

Thanks ahead for any and all advice.

I was in a similar boat. I have .338 win mag, 30-06, .308, 7mm08, 22-250 that I all want suppressed. I’m sure I, much like you, will end up with multiple suppressors down the road. But I opted for the Rugged Alaskan 360. Swap end caps and shoot different calibers.

I can report back once I get more time on it. But there are sufficient reviews on the interwebs out there. Just be careful with reviews. A lot like the ones that have become so commonplace these days, be careful you’re not taking advice off the interwebs from Joe Schmoe that just ripped it out of the box yesterday and needs to churn over the review asap to get more gear in and out the door…

I took some advice from know killers that use the rugged ak360, is it the best performing decibel reduction wise? No shot. Is it the lightest out there? Absolutely not. The TI ak360 is lighter…Is it the heaviest out there? Definitely not. From the research I did, I came to the conclusion suppressors are like everything else in this space. Different strokes for different folks. The same guys who love kifaru for their modularity and the other guys that love SG packs for their simplicity are the same guys chiming in on the suppressor opinions.

…for me? Does it fit the perfect niche for what I’m trying to accomplish?

That being said, if you like pineapple on your pizza, can’t stand what happened to the Kifaru brand once Frank left, have grown to enjoy not posting your kills on socials just to validate your successes from random strangers on the internet, like to see failures and blowhards like Lampers get what they deserve, kill predators, and enjoy a sunset with your old lady from time to time, when she’s being nice, maybe you like things that I do and the rugged ak360 is something you may be interest in giving a go.

But then again, maybe you’re a wanker that likes tea over coffee, though. And to that I say good day, sir.

Hard to beat an ultra 7 or dominus in 30 cal for your application..

I’d highly suggest looking at an Unknown Suppressors Reaper. With all the different uses you listed it is a great candidate.

- with the flat cap it’s light enough to not feel cumbersome while hunting
-can add an SRS brake and it is an excellent match can
- you can set it up with Quick Attach adapters to swap between rifles (or leave it as a direct thread)

I have several other suppressors but have found the Reaper to be the most versatile.
