    Also, don't get an A-tec. Unless you want to buy my one in which case you should definitely buy an A-tec.

    Thanks for the reply, many seemed willing to discount a supplier without saying why. I am deployed at present and have got a couple of gunworks suppressors based upon recommendations on forums such as this, I received very good customer service but am yet to get back and play with the result. Also since first suppressor it will be difficult to assess trelative weight and length....

    Another recommendation for DPT here.

    Light, cheap, and better sound reduction than a lot of the more expensive options.

    This week end saw Hardy latest and prior model to that. Latest on X Bolt and older model on T3.First deer on Friday shot @200m. It seemed non plussed with first shot as it peered around some manuka and pine. Next shot at base of neck and flipped in air. Next nite both shooting at stag @300m down a very steep gully. Both seemed very quiet. First shots were abysmal but then both hit lungs.I was to side and calling the shots.Neither of the cans sounded different i.e. no great difference to them.Both did job.The XBolt did not have any shortening. My son and me preferred if it was chopped an inch.[balance wise]Pills were 55gr Barnes and 53gr Sierra.

    Lightest one is 20g less than a DPT I see, and better for sustained semi-auto fire if thats your thing - well over double the price though!

    Many factors when you choose something I guess. For me price is one and at $300 the Gunworks spartan is probably the cheapest. It might be a bit longer forward of the muzzle than some others but by what? 50mm at worst? Diameter at 35mm is smaller than most of the others I have seen and this is just as important as length I reckon. Noise suppression is adequate and really this sort of thing is a binary decision for me - it is either acceptable/unacceptable - you can chase your tail for ever looking for the latest greatest whatever. And it doesn't hurt that Gunworks is a 10 - 15min down the road from me ...

    Everything is a compromise

    A gent at the range on sat had and SSR job on a 243, he had an issue with one that the internal thread broke away causing baffle strikes. I think he said this one was the replacement.
    I didnt risk taking off the muffs as there were too many shooters, but all I could hear was a FFFFFFFfffffft! sound, he didnt stick around to chck it out more but it seemed pretty quiet.
    Got a gunworks dualium on my 308 myself. they make them an inch? longer than when I got mine now I think.
