Thread: 17HMR silencer

Hi all, I'm after people's opinions about the various types of suppressors on the market for a .17, ideally looking for the quietest option (obviously) Gunworks, Hardys and DPT are who I'm looking at. This is to be used on a Ruger American.

Cheers

Got a gunwork $99.00 job on my Anshultz. Shortened the barrel to 440 mm, including thread, works well and didn't affect accuracy

Mate I reckon the Greystone over barrel is the quietest thing I've heard!!

Had one on Hm2 and Hmr and its comfortably quieter than most others. Very pricey but well made and backed up by Stuart. He is a perfectionist.

I got gunworks to shorten and thread my barrel and i use the gunworks stubby suppressor on my 17hmr. It has reduced overall length, made it a bit easier on the ears and hasn't hurt accuracy or knockdown at all. $99 all up

*that is for a cosmetic seconds suppressor

Just had a look at the greystone suppressors and they do seem a bit pricey for me but in saying that most of my shooting will have houses within earshot so suppression levels need to be high. It would be nice if I could find a decibel level test for the leading manufacturers in NZ!

On a side note - what scopes are we running on our .17's? I was looking at something with a 4-12 or 4-16 magnification. My budget would be around $300US.

Thanks again!

Those little vortex scopes are good value... as are the redfield.

I've got a BSA sweet 17, calibrated for the 17 hmr yours for 100.00 plus postage, or anyone else that's interested? I now running a vortex got about a 1" group over 100 metres at the Taupo range today, with the Gunworks suppressor on using Hornady hollow point ammo! Shooting off a Harris bi pod, ie fairly casual shootings!

$100!!! Seems to good to be true? There must be a catch..

Running a bog standard Bushnell banner 3-9 x 40 that came with a 308 I bought. It's been gold, especially for low light shooting hares out to 150. Beyond 50 they just laugh at the 22 but the 17 knocks them right down. 17hmr isn't awesome to use if you need to be super quiet, because of neighbours etc, as you still get the supersonic crack

i have a ruger hmr and gunworks supressor. i also have the sweet17 6-18x40 and the dialing turrets work very well. Not an expensive scope and it can get a bit blurry on 18x magnification but 14 is plenty anyway.

Yep you have to pay postage!��

I only paid a bit over $200 for mine new so that's a fair price

Sent from my workbench

You won't regret getting the Greystone. In saying that though... what rifle? The overbarrel won't go on a varmint without the barrel being turned down.

Excuse me, I didn't read your prior post properly and only just realised you were offering a scope... Lol
