You've made your point multiple times in this thread, at this point your simply trolling.

It's time to give it a rest and move on to other threads.

No offense but he’s simply bringing to attention his opinion that the can is louder than he imagined upon purchase. That is his right as a paying consumer of a product that he is disappointed in. And that is even more his right in a product evaluation thread. Sure he’s made a cheeky comment or two but if you are going have issues with that, then you have bigger fish to fry within these forums as there are threads with far more criticism (and repeated criticism) directed towards the products in question.

He’s answered questions, he’s posted video support behind his claims, and he’s served as a valid input into an ongoing evaluation of the OG suppressor.

No, I think he has kind of pushed beyond constructive criticism at this point. He has a free can in his possession, and he is still being a bit much. He is going out of his way to push his opinion on anyone that will listen, and honestly it has gotten old.

Everyone calm their tits. It’s internet opinions about gun mufflers. It’s not that serious.

So yesterday my wife shot her first bear with her 6.5PRC and an OG-L. Just as we arrived at our glassing spot, two bears came to a berry patch from different directions. The smaller of the two had no idea the bigger bear up the hill was there.

My wife shot the bigger bear at 248 yards, the other bear showed zero reaction.
After being hit, the bigger bear jumped, spun around a couple times, then fell and rolled down into a bush. We could see it still breathing so my wife put a second round in it. Again, the other bear showed zero reaction.
After watching the hit bear for several minutes and no movement, we just enjoyed watching the other bear feed for a while. It was so focused on food, it didn't realize it wasn't alone until we started down the hill to the bear she shot. The the little bear hustled up over the ridge.

In my opinion, out in the mountains, the 6.5PRC and OG-L are perfect together and sound very similar to a 6.5 Creed with a OG.

FWIW, this is the first animal my wife has shot suppressed. Her first shot was perfect. After it was over, she commented how she had just realized she was in a better state of mind leading up to the shot because she wasn't anticipating muzzle blast. That allowed her to focus more on her body position and shot process.

I've had zero interest in adding 8" to my rifles to have a suppressor in the past. The OTB cans on shorter barrels has me fully committed to suppressing all my rifles though. The 6.5PRC/OG-L and 6.5 Creed/OG go together like milk and cookies.

Video or it didn't happen...

Once we agreed the bear was big enough, we went into shoot it mode and didn't study it beyond "big enough".
Because there was two bears, a big one and a smaller one, we assumed it was probably a sow and 2½ year cub.
After rolling the bear over, we saw it was definitely not a sow and it was much bigger than I estimated. I estimated a 5-5½ foot sow, it turned out to be a lanky boar just shy of 6 feet.
After putting hands on the bear and watching the video, the smaller bear never indicated it knew the other bear was there. My guess is it was just luck we showed up at the same time as two bears.

I edited out a second shot that turned out to be unnecessary and several minutes of the bear behind the bush.
The smaller bear showed zero reaction to two shots, we watched it for about 10 minutes after shooting the big bear.

The adapter removal tool works well if anyone is fretting about it.

@Nine Banger I'm feeling pretty dumb - I thought this adapter went on the barrel (and some are recommending rokset). I can only see that tool working if the adapter were already inside the suppressor and stuck there. Am I missing something?

That’s pretty cool.

I used Rocksett on the inside threads of the adapter and grease and "the snap" on the outside threads. The Rocksett didn't work perhaps because I started shooting it immediately after install. The removal tool worked as intended. That was my point.

For the US/UM adapter - which is the only one I use with my OG - I don’t bother to roksett it onto the barrel. If it happens to come off the rifle and stay inside the suppressor, the removal tool gets it out again. Which would not be true of any third party adapter. If a third party adapter gets stuck inside your OG, then you are going to have a real pain getting it out of there.

On the other hand, since there are no wrench flats on the US/UM adapter, if it gets stuck on the barrel, it requires a soft pair of pliers to get it off the barrel.
