Suppressor Question

Silencerco Velos 7.62.

AB A10 7.62 gets rave reviews from the western hunting guys.

I would shop based on the Pew science rankings.

Jay is a man of many words. Most of which I don’t understand. There was a whole lot of praise for the PTR Vent1 coming from a guy who seems to back his words with legitimate scientific data.

I have never shot a suppressed .308, so I can’t give you any personal recommendations. But if Jay says it’s good, and the data says it’s good… it’s probably good.

For hunting, you will want something shorter. CAT ODB, LPM Mach S or Anthem S, Otter Creek Hydrogen S, CGS Hyperion K. There are others. Go to PewScience and get familiar with his stuff. Sort by .308 and go to town. Jay is the only honest broker in silencer testing. Rule of thumb. A PewScience score of 35 at the ear is right about where I feel a silencer will shine and be “hearing safe” for me. Anything more is better.

Double post.

Don’t have any of the ones you listed but

I have 6 Silencerco cans 2Omegas, SpectreII, Sparrow, and Octsne 9. Love all of them. Never had any issues and have put probably 10K rounds through them combined. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to buy another.

Welcome to the wonderful world of suppressors! Although this will be your first suppressor, I doubt it'll be your last. I started out planning to buy 1, a rimfire and a 30 cal. Now I've got 2 rimfire, soon to be three 30 cals and two 556 cans. I don't have any of your finalists, but I have some others. What'll you'll find is everyone's usually gonna recommend the suppressor and that's natural. After you've researched it, spent money and waited (one year for one of mine) you're going to recommend what you bought. Having said that, I recommend my Dead Air Nomad L. I don't recommend my SilencerCo Harvester 300, but it's been discontinued. I'm waiting to take possession of the Otter Creek Polonium 30. I like, and can recommend, my other cans as well for anyone who's interested: SilencerCo Spectre II (discontinued), SilencerCo Sparrow, Yankee Hill Machine Turbo K-RM and Otter Creek Polonium 556. I agree w/ the rec to do your independent research, esp w/ Pew Pew Science. I didn't do adequate research when I bought my Harvester 300 but instead I relied on the recs of the salesman. Keep us updated.

My CAT Alleycat cat Jl is awesome. Shot guns with my cousin and our kids this afternoon. Ringing steel with a 300 aac is about as much fun as you can have. Both 7 year old boys were nailing steel at 50 yds. My cuz’s 5 year old girl nailed a softball sized steel solo at 25 yds. My 3 year old nailed it as well with a little help. I’m still grinning. Banging steel is always fun. A kid doing it solo is even more fun. Doing it without worrying about hearing protection is amazing and priceless.

Correction. Little niece is still 4.

PTR Vent 1….you'll thank me later!

I also have a Dead Air Nomad Ti, it’s a good can, but I haven’t shot it once since I received my Vent 1.

I have a few, but for 300 bo, 308 I use a silencerco hybrid 46.
Can be direct thread or any of the standard connections.
Comes w a 45 cal end cap. You can buy an assortment of end caps from 223 up to 45.
So, you can shoot 45 pistols, 300 bo, 308, 338 lm, 45-70. Pretty much anything in between.
On a 45 pistol it is crazy quiet. I have a 300 Bo barrel on an encore and it’s nothing but a thunk.
It does very nicely on an ar in 300 Bo as well.
On a full house 308, it makes noise as expected, but heavily dampened.
It’s doesn’t affect poa and is a hoot to shoot. I have a 500 yard 8 inch plate at my place, it’s fun to ring unsuppressed. But suppressed is a hoot.
