    You'll wonder why you bothered with anything else when you get an atec.
    Not really comparable to other suppressors.

    Thinking very seriously about putting one on the new Sako 7mm SAUM project. Will kind of defeat the purpose of going short on the rifle
    but looks like it will be very quiet and very light. When I compare stats to everything else on offer, the others have to be 80 - 100 grams heavier to get the same DB reduction.

    I have just upgraded to the Freyr & Devik 231 model on my 7mm blazer magnum
    I have run dpt and Manatis suppressors on this same rifle and I have to say this little suppressor is much so epic!
    Half the weight of the Manatis and quite a bit lighter than the dpt.
    I haven’t noticed it being any noisier.
    Very very impressed!
    Nice not having that extra weight forward on the rifle

    But they are not over barrel from what I can see. The dpt we use with and barrel length chopped has that perfect balance and swingability on running shots. 2C. I like the option to dismantle and clean.

    They are about 30mm over barrel ��
    I liked the option to disassemble also but realistically 80% of people never actually disassemble and clean them anyway

    And the other 20% still believe suppressors need cleaning.

    Just bought one of these off Jordon, He's on the forum. Super lightweight around 170gm for the non magnum model. I am yet to use it but it looks really well built. One piece carbon outer shell.

    And 99.99% of people who got a suppressor blowing up were not cleaning them either.

    Ive got a DPT, one I cant get apart (never read the instructions that came with it like all kiwi blokes) Its been used so much looking thru it, it does not appear like much of the internals are left.
    Just retired it, I think it would be in excess of 6000 shots thru it (.223 based case). Thinking of chopping it in half just to have a proper look.
    I think I got my moneys worth from it!!

    With the DPT’s if you take one baffle out it’s not only that but lighter and shorter but I havnt noticed any change in noise reduction either.

    A mate uses a stealth suppressor and swears by it so that might be another option.

    No completely different.
    Non modular cans go there life without cleaning,
    A car will not go its whole life without servicing
    It just depends wich fan club your in if you want to spend time cleaning your suppressor or not.

    If you want longevity in a can then the Waitaki Engineering cans are built like a tank.
