US ... OG / OGL / Reaper? Which is best for what?

[philcox]

Any pointers as to what the best use cases are for each of those? I am looking at a suppressor for hunting, but don't know if one would be better than the other, or when to choose one over the other. Looking for some info as far as that goes. Any insight is appreciated. @Unknown Munitions

OG for keeping the length short on a hunting rifle with smaller diameter barrels. It will take anything you throw at it, survived a 33XC

OGL for larger barrel diameters, same as OG. OGL does have an end cap though so you can run the brake we make.

Reaper for a standard 6" can that's looking to be 2 db quieter then what's out there that is comparable. Ultralight, cool topo pattern. HUB, and and cap so you could run our suppressor brake on it.

That's a super quick run down.

Why was the topo not put on the og?

So, it also seems that the Reaper is 127db, and the OG is 130db, so the Reaper a smidge quieter, and 2oz lighter ... hmmm

For hunting, I would pick the OG every time. It's a short workhorse of a can. Screw it on and forget about it.

The OG is probably the best overall hunting suppressor. The 4+4 configuration has a very adequate dBA rating of 133. The weight of 10.9 ounces is quite manageable, especially because it doesn’t all stick out in front as far as on a front of muzzle fit. The OG-L is slightly heavier and fits on larger barrels.

The Reaper is a more traditional style. With 6” muzzle forward and dBA rating of 127, it offers a better version of the Scythe Ti or Nomad. If I didn’t already own a Scythe, the Reaper would be just the ticket for that role.

Remember decibels is a logarithmic scale. So 3db quieter is more than what it looks.

I’m clearly out of the loop. When you’re quoting specs, can you add variables?

E.g. 127db out of what and shooting what? At shooters ear?

From the specs I could find, 127 db refers to the 30 cal? Is it appropriate to say the 6.5 end-cap (with appropriate caliber) so would be even quieter?

US/UM always lists sound ratings at the shooter’s ear in dBA. The ammo used for these tests is always a standard .308 round.

The smaller end cap will probably not make any meaningful difference.

A human ear can generally tell the difference between two sounds of 1-2 decibel difference. Not that it should be done using even suppressed firing.

A dBA rating of 127 is a very quiet rifle. I recommend comparing shooter’s ear values with those from the 2024 TBAC Silencer summit.

When I was deciding which suppressor to get next, I made a spreadsheet comparing weight, length, suppression, and durability for several different models.

Which suppressor would you choose? Thoughts on the Nomad Ti XC?

Does the OG and OG-L exceed shooter’s ear 140db on 6 UM size cases?

The OG and OG-L are hearing safe (below 140 dBA).

I assumed it would be pretty close to 140 db when pushing 61 grains of powder vs the .308 db numbers they publish.
