suppressor for a 7mm-08
elkboy:
Hello HuntWA-
Looking for some guidance on a potential purchase. I have a Savage Model 16FXP that a buddy of mine rebarreled to 7mm-08 (originally .243). New barrel has a 5/8-24 threading on the end. I love this rifle. However, it is loud (even without a muzzle brake), and I'd like to be able to hunt without earmuffs at some point, or at least not get my ears blasted if I take a shot without hearing protection.
I've been looking at the SilencerCo Scythe-Ti. Any thoughts on this suppressor, especially given the rifle in question? Thanks all!

I don't have any experience with the scythe, however my kids shoot their Ruger American compact with my Silencerco Omega 300 and it makes it really nice for them to shoot and for me to be next to them when they're shooting.

I have been using a Rugged Radiant 7.62 Titanium on my 30-06 and 300 WinMag, also use it on my 300 Blackout. Really light weight (12 ounces) and reduces sound enough to fire a couple shots without hearing protection. Not sure of the recommendation for hearing protection, but a lot better than shooting with a brake. My WinMag shoots awesome with a brake but the noise is awful! :twocents:

I'd take a real hard look at one of these. https://airlockindustries.com/product/zero-gravity-7mm/
Airlock Industries is kind of a new kid on the block. For their size and weight which is only 6.6oz and 5.5 long they are pretty impressive. I'm a big fan of Dead Air Nomad Ti and LTi XC cans and they're going to be quieter but they're also longer and heavier too.
They've had a good amount of Scythe cans coming apart on a variety of different rifles so that is one I would do a lot of research on before I bought one, and, they really aren't all that quiet.

@dreadi probably has some good feedback for you here.
