Thread: Greystone Guns Suppressors

Hi guys,

My main go to rifle is a .270Win, bedded to a reasonably weighty laminate stock. I am just wondering what people's thoughts are on the Greystone Guns suppressor, specifically the hunter or magnum ones? How effective are they, how good are they for the cost or are there better ones out there. I have seen and heard quite a few hardys and find them to be not overly effective in noise or recoil reduction and I am aiming to stay away from the modules DPT ones as I can't imagine a modular system is great for accuracy or repeatability, unless someone can convince me otherwise.

I am mainly looking to suppress to make it more comfortable to shoot, allowing me to shoot more in a day and protect my ears when hunting.

Thanks,
Ollie

Just another point, weight is not a bigs concern on this rifle as it is already pretty heavy and I would rather have a heavy rifle I love to shoot and can count on, than a light one that I can't push out to the same ranges and kicks like a mule.

Got a Dpt on my 308 and impressed with it

Well Im quite happy with both my DPTs mind you they don't do much for accuracy. I can only manage 1/4 to 1/2 groups at a hundy with or with out the suppressor
They are light and well made. They work as do all the other brands

I'd be looking at an MAE, have them on everything from .22 to my .300 Blaser Magnum

Plenty to choose from here... https://mae.co.nz/collections/all/270-Win

Have had both DPT and Greystone, nothing wrong with a Greystone, just a little heavier. Greystone is bit more expensive too.

I was thinking that DPT modular ones would limit my ability to maintain this 1/3 to 1/2 groups but maybe not.

Do you guys have the 5 baffle one or the overbarrel one?

MAE or DPT

I've a Gunworks overbarrel and a DPT modular 5 baffle.
Both are good, but the DPT is a little better IMO.
Both give me sub MOA groups with handloads.
Both give me consistant, repeatable groups.
The one limiting factor is....me.

Oli, I have a Greystone on a .25-06, so similar to the .270. I am happy with both noise and recoil reduction, but it is pretty heavy at about 550g and quite long at 350mm.

It is not actually the weight as much as where it is positioned that I am a bit concerned about. Makes the rifle quite muzzle heavy. Shot plenty of deer with it though, and others with the one we have shot are pretty confused where the noise has come from.

I have not used a DPT, but am going to put one on a .243 shortly. At 260g it is a lot less weight, under half, hanging on the end of the barrel to unbalance it.

Local Guy here, Wataki Engineering makes a solid stainless over barrel supressor they to are heavier but they work very well
He also makes a muzzle forward commonly seen on AR types

That's interesting Sauer, my "hunter" model weighed a smidgen over 400grams

Barefoot, I never said mine was a "Hunter". In fact having just looked at the Greystone website, the Hunter is only 250mm long, and I said mine was 350mm. The website says mine weighs approx 500g, I have weighed it as 550g, but only on quite expensive kitchen scales, so more than likely some error. Obviously not the same unit you have.

Yip , that would certainly explain the big difference, suppose I shouldn't have assumed
