Thread: Which suppressor for Sako Carbonlight 7 Rem Mag?

Brake

Oceania Defence.
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.

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

On a side note, those that have had DPT thread your rifle, were you happy with the quality of the work? I've seen one of their chassis in person so suspect the answer is very, very nice but its good to check these things.

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.
