Sounds kinda funny to say but actual noise suppression is lower on the priority list, as long as it is hearing safe under hunting conditions. Weight and recoil impulse control are probably the top two factors, since it just won't get carried if it's too heavy or cumbersome. The Nomad was a top contender as well but on some other forums guys are pretty excited about this scythe for whatever reason
Hunting conditions…out in an open area, tree stand, dense timber, nylon blind, all of the above and more. It doesn’t really matter what condition the hunting scenario is in, a suppressor will either reduce the db SPL enough to your liking or not. I can shoot my .308 multiple time with a Magnus without hearing protection. I can also shoot my 300WM with it enclosed in a blind without ringing my bell. I’m not doing either of those with a Nomad Ti because it doesn’t suppress enough. I also would not use a Nomad because of how much it weighs.

A ten ounce suppressor on the front end is negligible in weight. The Schythe is published to weigh less, and it’s new to the market. A person that’s really into getting what is new on the market or just really into the brand would be excited to see that SilencerCo now has a titanium silencer.

There’s plenty of titanium silencers on the market and the Scythe does not have published sound levels from SilencerCo that are considered hearing safe.

Thanks Dreadi, I always appreciate your input on the forum as you are clearly very knowledgeable on the subject and I am quite the opposite when it comes to suppressors  :chuckle: by "hunting conditions" I mostly just meant one or two shots, since 99% of my rifle hunting is hiking and glassing
You’re welcome. You may be able to tolerate less suppression better than I can. Some people just want the edge taken off enough to make a difference and that’s OK too.
You’re welcome to try my Nomad Ti and Magnus, and hear the differences for yourself.

Waiting on that phone call!

I was told that 2023 applications are being fulfilled before 2022. The ATF said 2023 apps use a new process and that I would likely be approved on my March app before my December app. Sounds like typical government shenanigans to me.

If you have a suppressor do you have to carry some paperwork with you? Or is it stamped?

Yes, the feds can demand to see your tax stamp which is on the approved form 4…which you get in PDF form. Easy print and carry or save to your phone.

Recent approvals have taken about seven months.

I wish mine were that fast.  I'm one of the slow lane delayed for no reason people.
