Will/Does Anyone Make a 308 Win Suppressor?

So why not the OG30 Gen 2 for a 308? I’m guessing it’ll be 8 ish ounces, and only 4” muzzle forward

Its really the smallest footprint weight and length Id be after. I responded agreeing that a .308 version of the 6-s would be what it would take for me to look at one of these. Some folks dont mind a little heavier and longer—but Ive already got that covered.

I figure moderate length 308 suppressors that weigh 9 ounces are a dime a dozen, unknown doesn’t really stand to gain much market share by offering another one beyond what they’ve already got. But if you’re gonna make a really ultra light and small suppressor for hunting, you cut out a massive share of the market by not offering in 308 caliber. I would think even though the overall market volume in that class would be much smaller, that there’s an argument they could have a larger share of it with a more unique product like that.

I agree that we aren't at the.point of really specific cans, say one for 6.5creed vs a different one for 6.5prc, but I do think it's coming. Maybe not to the same sales levels or prevalence as universal 30 cal cans, but I think it will become part of the market.

Thank you for the thoughtful response.

I think you are getting too specific for most people and even for a manufacturer. People are not educated and if it says xx cal, it will be used on all of them. So if you make a 6.5 cm can, it better be able to handle a 6.5 prc. Just look at the failures on the scythe. You can’t have a can failing or its reputation is hurt.

Even the specialization of cans between 223, 6, 6.5 is starting to split hairs. When I was looking at airlock, the difference between a nano and zg 6.5 wasn’t enough to not get the zg 6.5 for me. It can cover more rifles and it’s quieter for the small ones. The 2 oz and size difference isn’t worth it to me.

What I really want is a sub 10 oz 45 cal can that works. I would take a sub 8 oz 35 cal can too. I along with the 100,000+ hunters in Iowa all have to use 35 cal or larger, yet there are few good cans out there.
