Buying a 7mm08 with a can for my so. Need help from yall *RANGE RESULTS*

Does Tikka compact tactical come in 7-08? I would look there. Something with a shorter barrel.

Bergara stoke

Or

Ruger Gen 2


Pew Science


Find Silencer shop kiosk

Profit.

No need for the call of duty cosplay, just buy some quality hearing protection.

From a recoil perspective would it make any sense to add a can to the river that already has the muzzle break?

A muzzle break will reduce recoil. A silencer will reduce recoil and sound.

The guns mentioned are all good. Another option is a savage youth model and have it threaded. Usually 75-150 at a gunsmith. If going with a can, you will need a 5/8-24 thread.

I also have a Pudelpointer. Where do you hunt the pheasant?

1. Buying a gun and finding a gunsmith you trust to chop, recrown, and thread the barrel in a quality way is not that easy. I’d just recommend buying one threaded.

2. Buy a can with HUB (1-3/8x24) threads on the rear end. It may not seem important now but it gives you the most options for mounting.

3. Don’t get a barrel longer than 20”. Even at 20” a pretty small suppressor can make the gun be unbalanced. My threaded tikkas are 16” and 18” and balance nicely.

4. Don’t get too hung up in all the sound science stuff. It’s really cool information but there is really only hearing safe and not. Read those things and pick one that ranks pretty good, has hub threads, doesn’t weigh more than 12 ounces, is shorter than 7”, and fits your price point.

Shorter version, in your shoes, I would probably buy a Ruger American gen 2, it has a 3 position safety for the kid, 20” barrel, and a nice barrel profile/fluting so it should balance nicely. I’d be looking at a AB-10 7.62($500), Enticer s ti($750), hydrogen-s($850), silencerco scythe-ti($950), nomad ti xc ($1000) and upward if you want a thunderbeast or something. You can also google those like “hydrogen-s vs.” and you’ll get years of internet arguments comparing different cans. You won’t find many or any negative reviews for otter creek labs, AB, silencerco, or thunderbeast.

Just go somewhere with a silencer shop kiosk and buy one. There’s better and more complicated ways to buy one with a comprehensive trust but it’s the easy button by far.

First thing to do is list your budget for the rifle or overall budget. Don’t be afraid of barrels longer than 20” for a can. I don’t have anything shorter than that and they balance well. A lot of it will depend on barrel profile and can metallurgy. If you’re both going to shoot it the biggest factor will be the LOP and its adjustability.

Recommendations for gunsmiths in the mandeville area?

I would get quality ear protection regardless. Hearing damage is irreversible and quality muffs are cheap.

I don’t have any idea how those holes are directing the gas. It looks like a normal radial brake which wouldn’t be too much louder and wouldnt reduce recoil that much. There is probably some info on the internet about that brake but I wouldnt take chances with my ears.
