Hi all, I am looking at buying a suppressor for my 308, I haven't had one before and just want to know peoples thoughts / advice on which ones are worth it and which are shit. Budget is anywhere up to $5/600. I don't need the best just whatever works well. Cheers
If your willing to spend around the 5-600 mark, you wont get better value than the ATEC H2. At that price point theres nothing better on the market currently that im aware of for both weight and noise supression.
Go DPT all day long.they are not that far from you,have a great product,great customer service and supporters/ advertise on here.
I agree. DPT are very good for the price and totally excellent backup but Atec are another step up entirely.Quote:

Not really comparable to an atecQuote:

Dpt for me. Cheap, quiet enough to shoot over a dog, easy to pull apart and clean and lots of spare bits if you ever need anything else.
agreed!Quote:

Awesome advice, thanks very much. I like the idea of spares so will most likely go with a DPT, chur
yup DPT
DPT AAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day !
Have one DPT and one Gunworks, both around the same price and I'm happy with both.
Actually on that note regarding suppressor cleaning, i did wonder when cleaning a rifle or rifles after a hunt or range day...how many clean the suppressors?.
My two are Hushpower therefore not able to be dismantled like a DPT. I don't lock my guns away with the suppressor attached but last time I cleaned the rifle I removed and cleaned the suppressor the same way, that is cleaning brush, patches etc. Is that good practice for a suppressor or over the top?.
I have a 30cal DPT for sale. Pm if interested
I can't seem to be able to pm you but if you pm me I am keen to have a look
Every few months I strip my DPT, put the components in the ultrasonic cleaner, with a little detergent. Considerable carbon dislodges and it may need a couple of goes, then rinse in warm water, dry and assemble with a little grease ... I like silicone grease.Quote:

as for detergent... hot water, a bit of dish soap and some citric acid... works wonders (also on brass by the way), dirt cheap and non-toxic...
Also a vote for the Hardy ones as well.
Short overhang option, light, Great sound reduction
I have 2 compact ones and a Stealth which really makes the 243 and 223 quiet.
