Thread: .223 & .243 suppressor recomendation

Hi everyone ... hopefully a simple question ... but probably not.
I want to put a really lightweight can on my Sauer Synthetic 202's in .223 (Classic XT model) & .243 (Outback model). I also want to swap the can from one rifle to the other as I never use both at the same time. Additionally - I want to keep the overall barrel length as small as possible ie I don't want the suppressor sticking 25cms out the front. The .243 Outback model has a fluted barrel and the .223 in Classic XT is a standard barrel. What is your advice, is this possible and what products would you recommend?
(PS - I have both MAE & Hardy products on other rifles and both are fabulous)
Cheers Gunzrrr

I have a Hardy Gen V love, it if you want to swap between rifles order for the larger 243 it will then accommodate both bore sizes. Get bushes for both rifles so you can swap it out of the suppressor when you change rifles. If you want quiet its going to stick out the front there is no way around that.

I have a an MAE I run between my .22-250 and .243, it's the Compact model, bothe barrels are 22in I can even use it on my 6.5x.284, works very well on all 3 cals...

Is the MAE lightweight? I thought they only did heavier cans? Certainly my MAE on my Kimber Varmint .204 is heavy (& very accurate). This .223 rifle is for "hunting" rather than "varminting" hence I want it lighter as I have to carry it all day.

Hey Dermastor
Thanks for the posyt! So you have the "Gen 5 Compact Suppressor - Standard"? The description says it will stick out 80mm - that I can handle.

I still have an SSRNZ one for sale if you're interested mate. Flick me a pm if you're keen.

Not the lightest but light enough for me, and that is does a fantastic job in saving my ears is the most important part.

@Gunzrr I have the Gen V Stealth, noise suppression is my most important requirement. I'm varmint shooting so size is not such an issue.
