UM/S2H/Suppressors/Scopes and More!

[RWT]

I was able to shoot a prototype suppressor this weekend in Clovis, New Mexico. It was a lot of fun, and by far my best match finish to date. The Shoot 2 Hunt guys / US are still trying to figure out a name. After over 200 rounds with this can in all kinds of weird shooting positions, I figured I would post my thoughts.

The ability to spot shots with this can is phenomenal. The recoil is comparable to a muzzle brake. The short length and integrated (printed in) muzzle brake allows the gas to travel at faster speeds thru the brake portion and cuts recoil insanely well. I love shooting with brakes, but the concussion gets to me after 100 rounds in a day. This can has zero concussion. Even in shooting positions where I had large boulders just to the side of the can I still has zero concussion.

The recoil impulse is hard to describe. Its a perfect blend of the sharp snap of a muzzle brake, and the soft elongated push of a suppressor. I call it a "soft snap". The match had a lot of awkward positions where I used the triple pull bipod on uneven boulders, and a bag on the top of the rocks for rear support. I was still solid enough in all my positions (besides when my bipod would slide off a rock) to see all my shots from 240 yards to 900 yards.

The caveat of this can is that its not hearing safe. Its not meant to be. The reason this can is so comfortable to shoot is because the brake portion functions so well. In order for it to do this, the gas has to be expelled at a higher rate. As you extended this can length and made it quieter it will transition to more of a push like other suppressors.

Currently it is 11.8 oz, and 5.125" OAL. We will be making the muzzle adaptor out of Ti, and this should drop the weight closer to 10 oz.

We had some national champion PRS / NRL hunter people shoot it and they were thoroughly impressed with the unique recoil impulse.

I'm personally very excited to use this can for all my future shooting competitions, as well as hunting. I think the can would be a great fit for my hunting style.

If anyone's got a clever name for it, lets hear it...

You've got "The OG", how about the loud, crass relative "The Unc"

Since it seems more competition focused and keeping with "the ____" nomenclature of the other cans:

the Performance Enhancing Device = the PED
the Comp Can = The CC (some TRT guys could relate to CCs being performance enhancers)
the Point Producer / Point Pounder = the PP (Its 5", guys could relate that "I have a 5 inch PP")
the Steel Slapper = the SS (history buffs may not like that nickname...)
the Total Impact, Titanium = the TIT or the TITi
the Precedent = The Prez (since I believe its the first 3d printed monolithic can / brake, the new standard?)
the Unknown / Unidentified Firing Object = the UFO
the Unknown Slotted Suppressor = the USS (or the USS Formalicious)
the Mono (monolithic suppressor & brake)
the King Maker
the Podium

6 lbs 1 oz scoped and suppressed is pretty wild. Talley LW rings, SFWA UL, 16.5" barrel.

I see at least 2 votes for “sweet spot”… does the person that lofted the most popular name so far get a prototype to test at local comps? ;-) @Unknown Suppressors

 

[IrkedCitizen]

Looks like I won a 1776 OG-L can

 

[Q_Sertorius]

“Sweet Spot” is nice.

@Unknown Suppressors is the og magnum mentioned on the roadmap going to have a similar db reduction to say a raptor 8? That seems like a potential sweet spot for noise and length if it performs well. (5 in in front 3 otb)

@Shoot2Hunt

Can you guys do a podcast explaining how it's going to work with the new tax stamp situation? I'm sure you guys have to do some digging to make sure you have your info correct but I'm looking forward to hearing how it will work and when these changes will officially go in to effect. I caught the recent one you did where you talked about if it passed but now that it's official and signed I'd like to see what exactly you guys will be doing.

Anyone using the OG on a tikka sporter profile cut to 16.5”?
