Thread: Suggestions 223 PRS suppressor

Suppressors are fantastic but do come with weight and increased retained barrel heat.
In a range only situation where ear protection is always going to be worn I'd go to a muzzle brake as the recoil/muzzle jump reduction will be better, less heat build up (therefore less mirage from the barrel/suppressor), and less weight/length out on the end of your barrel so transitioning targets and maneuvering in a PRS match will be easier.
You'd probably get a serviceable brake for half your budget, not like the .223 is going to take much taming.

Yea, key piece of info I’ve missed there, 75% noise reduction, 25% recoil management.
One of the ranges I use has indoor stalls separated with block walls. It’s pretty bloody loud even with earmuffs.
Have looked at brakes but have gone away from them for the above and as if you are on an open range a brake by itself is a bit obnoxious for those around.
Nothing against a brake on a suppressor, I have seen DPT ones
