Thread: Suppressor advice pls?

I am keen to get a suppressor for my 6.5CM Howa. I am thinking either a DPT or a Gunworks. Keen to get one that will reduce recoil the most (long range paper/plate shooting).

Will appreciate feedback on your experiences.

I have both.
Gunworks overbarrel on a 223, and a DPT can on my 243
Both are great, but I prefer the DPT, its lighter.

Both reduces recoil the same amount?

Considered a brake?
For gong shooting they are the go I recon....already wearing ear protection anyway and much better recoil reduction than a suppressor and much less annoying mirage from heat build up in the suppressor.

+1 on the brake for a target based rifle (just don't try using one for bush hunting.....) fine if you won't be using it near a dog either

Brake was my first choice, but not allowed when shooting at Trentham.

I think it is a NZDF rule.

Probably because its a c#~t shooting beside someone using one

They use brakes tho dont they?

In which case the gunworks as its heavier therefore more recoil reduction.... (ok it's not that simple)

Have both, find that gunworks are long skinny and over barrel, dpt seems shorter and fatter

Just looked, it is a F-Open limitation. Rules states:


F2.18. Muzzle compensators or muzzle brakes are not permitted.
F2.19. Sound moderators are not permitted.

So the suppressor not allowed either or only if shooting F class?

Not a lot of recoil with either calibre
I ‘think’ the DPT’s more effective.


Well, it cost me more, so I’d hope it is

Talking to the guys at the club, my understanding was that a suppressor was allowed. Not so sure anymore.
