Looking for a suppressor to compliment my Sako Carbonlight in 7 Rem Mag. So far the lightweight ones to compliment this type of rifle Ive found - ATec, HRE, DPT. Money no object what suppressor would you use & why?

Ive got an a-tec maxim on a rem mag and the suppression is very impressive, but I would class it as lightweight.
So much more fun in a crowdQuote:

Slightly bigger hole but I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Very light, well made.
I don't think you should worry about buying a suppressor... I think you should sell me the rifle (cheap, of course) and let ME worry about what suppressor I'm going to use on it.
:thumbsup:
They come already threaded with a factory brake and they?
It appears to me that DLP have the advantage of only extending the OAL of a magnum by 4" rather than the 5" & 6" of the other brands. On a cost/benefit basis they are hard to beat.
Hardy gen V and gen V stealth. will get a gen VI later this year. Very little extra added length.
The stealth is very quiet.
The Gen V is average noise reduction but only adds an extra 75mm to your barrel length.

Gen 6 is only 80mm forward (but comes back further over the barrel).

The DLT beats the Hardy on every physical stat, and price.
Magnum centerfire over barrel modular with s/s blast baffle, 300win mag - DPT Machinists
Yeah DPT & Hardy looked to be the really only options for a hunting rifle. The Oceania can looks awesome but says it for non magnum cartridges - guess that rules out the Rem Mag.
One of the farms I hunt on specify the use of a suppressor to help reduce spooking stock. There's some productive hunting to be had but the owner doesn't want any horses or cattle spooked.
Dpt only way to go, a couple of weeks ago while hunting with my son we got back to the vehicle for a brew and he notices a rattle in his suppressor. To cut a long story short , when home he rattles 2 pieces of the inner front of the suppressor out of his Hardy , the suppressor and the pieces were taken to hunting n fishing store where this was purchased it was sent to manufacturer who sent it back with a note saying that it was ok and wont affect suppressor. To me this is not acceptable as the pieces may of lodged in the rifle barrel. Personally I would not touch a hardy suppressor with a 40 foot barge pole.
well it seems like DPT is the go. It's stupid because it seems like sacrilege to put a $450 suppressor on a high dollar rifle. Lol if they double their price I'd not have batted an eyelid, seems almost too good to be true for the price. Anyway I'll give one a go & see how I like it.
I'll get you one for $1000, flick me the cash and I'll have it to you in a day or two ;)
LOL i'm a skeptical bugger about things these days. Very seldom does cheap & quality go together! It does make you then question how you justify a few hundred extra for an HRE one then :wtfsmilie:Quote:

Luke. I had DPT thread my Blaser and it is the best job I have seen for such a simple task. Some others look like the barrel was threaded with a die in a vice. Plenty of feedback regarding suppressors online. I’d bet my left one that 99% of DPT feedback is positive. Can’t say the same for others. Customer service goes a long way and DPT owns this in NZ. I also think Robbie Tiffen is in the same boat but personally I like the DPT over the Gunworks for suppressor design and affordability.Quote:

You can buy a Shultz and Larsen suppressor for more money, very similar design.Quote:

OK so the gen 6 adds 80mm extra length. For a bush hunting rifle that beats the DPT 105mm extra length by an 1".
Suppressor length in front of the barrel is most effective.
Hence given that the DPT has 33% more out the front than the Hardy, Hardy has to be a little longer out back to make up some sound recovery.
Hence the Hardy is 45mm longer (back over the barrel) and 50 gr heavier than the DPT.
So question is how much do you value that extra inch in length. The hardy gen 6 lets you have an extra 1" of barrel length over the DPT for that same overall length. Is that worth $100 and 50 grams. Your call.
I have 2 Hardy and will probably try a DPT for my next one as I'm chasing weight.
Also chase out that that suppressor review from last year. Had weights and sizes.
DPT 4 baffle aprox 22 db reduction.
Hardy Gen 6 aprox 25 db reduction
DPT 9 baffle aprox 30 db reduction
Hardy Gen5 Stealth >32 db reduction
In the end this is an argument that's no different to Ford vs Holden.
I've had 2 Hardy's from HRE and had good experiences.
Others have different experiences.

Bit of info on the A-Tec Carbon 03, best unit for Magnums, close to $900 but hell not a bad job under 400g
Attachment 86676
The Carbon 03 looks awesome & certainly light but it extends 155mm past the muzzle. HRE is like 80mm.
Those tests were done by hardy so I don't know how objective they were. Also a suppressor in any super sonic cal will never be quiet so while sound suppression is good as long as I can take a shot without any ringing of my ears I am happy.Quote:

EDIT: MINE was not a gen 6 so they could have solved this.
Hi,
The only model from our thread mounting suppressors that is officially magnum rated is the SL7i .300 / .338 model.
The older SL7 .30 calibre variant was magnum approved and so were also the pre-2013 jet-Z COMPACT models.
As we were in the product update process towards the i-models in in the S series during 2016, we tested the lightened SL7i .30 calibre model quite heavily with a shorter 20” barrel .300 Win Mag.
In longer firing strings, there was very minimal/neglible bending on the first baffles, which may not have been noticed by the customer necessarily.
However as we cannot always control how and on what weapon & barrel length the suppressors are used, we usually opt for the safe side.
So, that it why there is now a combined magnum model and the SL7i .30 is only for non-magnum calibres.
The material on the magnum model is also even stronger ( we shot a 50 round string of .338 Lapua through it with a short barrel )
S Series SL7i sound suppressor | Ase Utra
So it is not the lightest for magnum calibres but extremely robust with a fully welded stainless steel design and available with Cerakote finish also.
Also still a pretty compact suppressor.
Do note that there is a considerable difference between .308 / .30-06 and for example a .300 Win Mag in muzzle pressures
From a 500 mm barrel it is c. 500 bar for a .308 Win and c. 900 bar for .300 WM.
So when purchasing, I would advise to inquire from the manufacturer, on how their products have been tested on magnum calibres.
Best Regards!

You make some very good points there, I would hate to think about the amount of pressure a suppressor has to cope with on a normal short Bush Pig style rifle let alone the trend towards magnum Super Pigs, even with few rounds fired they won't be happy, time will tell & no doubt the wear/abuse will show up in a year or threeQuote:
