Suppressor for hunting rifle

[elkh8me]

I have been doing some research and wanted to see if you all had any advice.
I have a kimber mountain ascent in 7mm mag.  I am looking at the silencerco harvester.  Anyone have any experience with this can?
Thanks,
Joe

Right there with ya. Having a 7mag built right now and would like to have a suppressor on it for next year.

I shot the harvester on a 260. Did exactly as advertised. Recoil reduction along with sound.

The negative I find with the harvester is the 9” length. I’ve been looking at the Omega with a 7” length.

That’s about all of my experience so far. But would love to save my ears for the rest of my life!

Thanks wolf.  I will keep you posted.

Joe-  I have a Harvester in jail right now.  Got a really good deal on it from West Coast Armory a couple of months ago.  You may want to ask if they have any more. I wish they had omitted the non-removable brake to keep the length down, but the whole package is still really light and the brake is supposed to be effective. If I had it all to do over again I would have gone with a lightweight direct thread like the the Harvester instead of the Specwar which is ridiculously heavy and requires an $80 muzzle device for each host. 

The mountain ascent + harvester would be a great combo.

Silencerco has a pretty good promotion going right now.  Spend enough and get a free suppressor.

elkh8me, the Mountain Ascent has a pretty thin barrel, not saying it won't work just fine suppressed, but it may warrant some research or a call to SilencerCo about thin sporter barrels. I have a Harvester and it is a very good suppressor, but at least look into the Ultra 7 and Ultra 5 from Thunder Beast. I have an Ultra 7 and have been very happy and impressed with it. Another suppressor that looks interesting is the Brevis from Delta P, the price tag on their website is a bit scary, hopefully actual prices are a bit lower.

I have an Omega that I have used on 4-5 different rifles and for sport shooting it is great. For hunting  , not overly impressed with the sound reduction vs. the added length n weight. Have not noticed an increase in accuracy or decrease in recoil vs. a normal break. FWIW I will continue to hunt without the suppressor and carry ear plugs...

Serious question,Isn't using a suppressor still illegal in WA.?If legal to use,Do you have to get a license to buy/and use one?

Legal for use and hunting, need only the NFA tax stamp to purchase.

That's good info to have, it was on a list of suppressors I wanted to check out. I want hearing safe'ish, and recoil reduction. Sounds like the omega might not be for me.

Newb question: does a suppressor offer similar recoil reduction to a muzzle break?

[h20hunter]

Yes,  if not more.
