I am sick of scaring off every animal in the forest park so I am looking for a suppressor for my Rossi wizard single shot in .243. The barrel is not threaded so I will need to get both suppressor and threading done. Can anyone recommend a lower cost suppressor that will work well? I am new to hunting so cost is a consideration. Thanks chaps/chapets
send to dpt in hamilton....job done.
DPT
Sensing a theme here guys, ;-)
Reloaders have got ASE SL5 suppressors (can) on sale for $399 would be another great option. Very compact
Dpt happy with mine
im using a mae can and happy with it
DPT. You ll end up there any way
Yeah, MAE tend to get overlooked don't they? I have one also, an excellent highly efficient can if maybe a tad heavy.Quote:

MAE chases the UK market more than local. Have a couple, a bit heavier but do the job well.
MAE if weight is not such a problem DPT or Gunworks if weight is an issue. I think the multiple stainless baffles in the MAE suppressors work better than the alloy ones.
i tend to go for heavy stuff just my opinion but i find the heavier stuff tends to be a bit more robust and feels better quality to me
I use Gunwork spartans and they work well. At about $300 plus threading so if the whole lot goes to Gunworks, that's $365 job done. Not as squat as the DPT, as they are narrower but come back over the barrel further making them slender. If you can find a Sonic, they are also in a similar price bracket and are very similar to the DPT style.

Some people (like me) are now looking for suppressors to just take the edge off the noise to preserve hearing but not really requiring quiet for avoiding game disturbance. Hence compromises to decibel reduction to achieve short overall gun length and light weight.
For quietest shooting you should retain the full barrel length and don't be shy to use a big long suppressor (Gunworks pride themselves on maximum noise reduction but are bigger and heavier than many new competitors) and investigate whether a subsonic load is possible (not so easy I suppose for 243). Phone Gunworks (Robbie or Amanda) and DPT (Darren or else the Frenchman) and check which model might achieve your priorities. A change in powder or ammo type might result in less unburnt powder coming out te muzzle.
If it's deer you're hunting then surely shooting one at a time is enough ? If you're taking more than one shot then some range time or a laser range finder might be better than a suppressor.
I'm happy with my Sonic, nothing to compare it to though. But it definitely does its job.
Use a brake at the range on my SAUM and 375 but suppressor when hunting with either
Have 3 x DPT, + 1 heavy duty stainless on my AR
Have got Oceania Defence, MAE and DPT on mine and they are all good
I'd say those three plus Gunworks and SSRNZ are all good brands, just depends what you want to end up with
Someone could probably do a flowchart

Thanks guys lots of good info, I will let you know what I end up with.
MAE for me, run them on everything from .22LR .22WM .22-250 .243 6.5x.284 and .300 Blaser Magnum
They are heavier, not an issue for me, they work splendidly well, and are exceptionally durable.
What about waitaki? I have one on my 22mag and can't fault it. Lọking to suppress a 243 aswell so following with interest

I have an SSRNZ on my 243 and a 30 cal ASE sl5 both are excellent.
the quietest one lately I have had any thing to do with is the hardy stealth.
man its substantially quieter than the latest trendy one.
pm for contact details if keen

If weight is an issue go for DPT or a Hardy can.
If not, I have a ASE Utra SL5i and it's awesome.
Yes, the SL5i in .25 calibre would be the smallest and lightest option from us; c 335-345 grams.
With an excellent size to performance ratio.
With a fully welded stainless steel, so whether you end up shooting 50 or 5000 rounds through it, it will serve you well.
Best Regards!

I will try some sonic defender earplugs and no suppressor...rifles lack balance for snap shooting with suppressor on and I can't bear to lop the barrels short on a 6.5 x 55 and 270w. See how we go...might end up with an 18inch swede yet.
