Best 7.62 suppressor for under $1000......?????? - 01/03/14 11:52 PM

I might as well stop procrastinating and get the process started. I've read a bunch of reviews on a number of different makes/models etc. but wanted to see if anybody had any recommendations. What, which one, why you like it/don't like it. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm in the same boat. Looking at finally getting a suppressor. Want one that I can use for my 300wsm down to 223

I have an Innovative Arms Deception on Form 4. It should be here soon. I read nothing but good things about it. Great weight for the price.

Exactly what I'm looking for. Finally got an AR10 but also have a few other rifles/AR's with threaded barrels.

I've been researching this a lot for my sbr, if size and weight isn't a concern the. 7.62 specwar seems to be a good buy, or the 762sdn6

I just wish the socom 762 mini was cheaper

On thing to look for if you plan on using them on different guns is a QD system. AR10's and AR15's are different thread pitches.

I went with a YHM 7.62 phantom QD for my POF 308 and my 5.56 AR both with the QD muzzle devices.

The spectrum seems to be from a cost perspective that YHM is at the bottom or close to it on price and Surefire is at the top. AAC, Gemtech, AWC, and others fall somewhere in between. You have to kind of decide what you want out of it besides sound suppression. Someone may correct me on some of the newer brands but Surefire is the only one I have found thus far that the POI doesn't shift with the can on or off when using an optic. If that doesn't matter then YHM is hard to beat. They generally are the best on cost, have decent sound suppression, and have great customer service. Customer service does come into play should problems arise and AAC for example has neat new products but their service is notoriously bad.

Yh is good. It has been out for a while and was one of the few 308 cans rated above 308. Silencerco now has some cans that can take 300 wins

I hear a lot of good about the Specwar and Thunder Beast

Re: Best 7.62 suppressor for under $1000......?????? - 01/04/14 04:00 AM

I chose the AAC cyclone for 650. Dont plan to take it off the 300bo all that often so the QD wasnt a selling point for the increased cost.

Watched a lot of youtube and talked to the guys at silence shop...few more months and I may get it and be able to review it myself.

I ordered an AAC SDN6. But the Specwar does a better job on a meter.

"Best" is very subjective....what does best mean to you?

Do you want the quietest, shortest, lightest, thread-on, QD??

Typically the longer and heavier it is the quieter it will be. I have an AAC Cyclone that is very quiet, but it is long at 9.5" and heavy at 22 oz. I ordered a Thunderbeast 30-PS that is 7" and 13 oz for my second one.

I really like the Cyclone and only wanted thread-on cans because I didn't want to buy a mount for every gun since I use them on every centerfire gun I have. It doesn't bother me to take an extra 15 seconds to unscrew it.

There is quite a bit of info on Silencerforum.com with testing results for several different cans.

Thanks so far for all of the advice. Good point Doc...... I'm not concerned with weight, just looking for the best sound suppression and one that will work on anything from 308 down. Thanks again!

Just because it's a 7.62 can does not mean it can handle all 30 cal rounds. A sdn6 can not handle a 30-06 for example.

I went with the YHM .308 QD can

Does anybody have any experiences with Gemtech? In particular the Sandstorm.

I hear silencerco is coming out with a light weight 7.62 suppressor rated for 300 win mag that should have a street price around $500. It will be interesting to see the reviews on this when it becomes available.

I paid around $650 for mine. One of the biggest selling points for me was the weight (13oz) in addition to its sound suppression.

Spend the extra for titanium! Yhm QD phantom TI is good to go.

I don't think it will go as low as $500. But the specs on it are nice. 11.3 oz and rated for 300WM.

I have a YHM Phantom Ti. I like it because it's light, it uses QD mounts which makes it easy to screw on and off plus you can get a smaller QD mount to use your can on a .223/5.56.

My dislike? I wish it was shorter in length.

from another site it should be available after shot show and silencer shop qouted someone around $620. per their site DB Reduction is 21.1 - 33.6. think i'm going to wait awhile for additional reviews on how it compares to other brands. Being so light i wouldnt think it would be as effective unless they got some new baffle design or something.

If this is true then I may just hold off on a rifle suppressor for now and just buy a rimfire one. I like the weight on this new one

silencerco sparrow is a good one for rimfire. i have one pending with atf right now. From what i noticed with different brands of cans the best way to cut wieght without loss of reduction in DB is to go with TI. TI cost more but is worth it to me. Just hold a SS and TI can in each hand and you'll be sold.

TBAC(Thunder Beast) has a great reputation. I have a 30BA in the pipeline. Can't wait! I researched a lot.

Buy one from dealer stock is my advice. That saves you manunfacture time and the first ATF wait which was over 3 months on mine.
