X-bolt threading/adapters for suppressors

[Echo]

Hey OP, what did you end up doing--cut the barrel or use an adapter? I have a an early model Hell's Canyon Speed in 30-06 and am trying to make the same decision.

I went with the Hughes precision adapter. I’ve not yet been able to shoot the rifle using this adapter, as I just got my suppressor. However, from the eye test, it seems to align well

I’m on the hunt for my very first suppressor. So far, my success stats are much like they are when I hunt animals - way too low.

The issue: I have a Browning X-Bolt in 6.8 Western and the barrel is threaded at M13x .75…..which doesn’t fit any cans that I’ve found.

I have my eye on a number of cans that come standard with 5/8x24 and I’ve read a few varying opinions about using an adaptor effectively. I talked to one local shop and they recommended this adapter from Hughes Precision: https://hughesprecision.com/product...converter-browning-x-bolt-blued-steel-sku159/

So, my questions:

Has anyone else found themselves in the same predicament and what did you do?

Any feedback on using an adaptor like the one linked above? How effective is it? Why or why shouldn’t I use that?

Thanks in advance

why not just chop it at the threads and get it rethreaded?
