Title: Suppressor ??
Post by: JasonG on February 12, 2017, 12:03:09 PM: Who has a suppressor? What model do you like. I'm thinking about getting one for a savage hog hunter in .308 Thanks Jason

I've also used one from Griffen Armament that's rated for 338 Lapua, but it spends more time on a 260 Rem. I recently got an Ultra 7 from Thunder Beast and of the cans I've used, the Ultra 7 is my favorite. IMO, don't get one rated specific to the 308, get one rated for 30 caliber magnums and then you have a lot of choices how you use it.

Thunderbeast Ultra 7 is next on my list.

And I can't think of a better choice. TBAC makes top notch stuff, others do too but I'll take a TBAC Ultra every time.

If I was buying today I’d probably go with a Sig – direct thread.

Post by: fly-by on February 13, 2017, 12:10:00 PM: I have a Specwar 7.62. Very quiet on everything from .300 blk to .300 wm, but heavy. Having to add a muzzle device adds more weight and about $80 per host. My next can will be a lighter direct thread.
