Thread: Suppressor Q&A

if you look at that table of suppresors the one with the greatest sound reduction was the Hardy over barrel, about 6" forward and 6" over the barrel.
I run one on a 243 and 223 both with 14x1 thread. Just change the rear bush for the different barrel diameters
Also have a gen 5 and gen 6 on lever actions 243 and 358. Again both 14x1 which could be a trap. You need a bit of a shoulder for them to do up onto.
These are only 80mm forward and 120mm over barrel only 290 gr. The 44.5mm dia does fill up the scope on the bottom end 1-4x20.
Hardy and DPT come to a similar result with very different designs. Hardy I believe is a mono core, not cleaned, just a shot of wd40 from time to time.
DPT has options to add more baffles and a S/S one for high heat applications.
