Thread: Over barrel silincer options and consideration

All depends on length of barrel, calibre * sorry no idea about 6.5 prc* and how much extra weight forward vs db. reduction. Also budget/practicality.

I can only speak for the DPT and the Gunworks I have owned.

Had an issue with the DPT originally as it was supplied as part of a package. Very short barrel relative to velocity and it got nailed really fast.

BUT I was also unaware of the stainless baffle option, which should have been part of the package to begin with based on the rifle. Yeah I know "package".

Contacted DPT and the customer service was better than usually can be expected, exceptional to be honest.
Total gain in weight for the SS baffle? About a quarter of the shit you always regret you didn't have before going out.

It's now had a couple hundy rounds through it and it looks mint after the occasional clean up.

The Gunworks one was a 50mm magnum .30 deal, VERY quiet but super heavy and in my particular application wasn't really worth keeping. Way too muzzle heavy.

Went to a GC on the pay it forward page.


Never owned a Hardy but have heard a few hunting partners using them... again not much really in it for "felt noise".
I'm sure a decibel meter would be able to give imperical figures but I don't think my hearing can.

If you rich look into the ASE etc stuff but ultimately we are talking about a difference of maybe +/- 8 to 10 db max difference across most of the major players.

Sacrifice weight for reduction of db or sacrifice reduction of db for weight ultimately. There is no free lunch.

Although I am a broke ass so can't comment on the 1k plus titanium, blessed by Jesus himself models.

Totally non-scientific opinion only.
