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?

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

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.

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

Ah I see.
Wonder why?

I think it is a NZDF rule.

They use brakes tho dont they?

+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

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

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

Another one here with both DPT and Gunworks suppressors - both are good but I'd give the DPT a slight favour

My totally uneducated guess is that it scrubs off about 20-25% of the recoil on a 308

I find a bit of the recoil is psychological with the louder sound of an unmoderated rifle so maybe there is a placebo effect at play?

Agree with Cam that brakes are best if you just want to tame recoil

Thanks for the feedback, the 6.5CM already have only moderate recoil, but I am thinking if I can reduce it even more it would help to keep sight on target after the round is sent down range. I’ll be happy with 20-25% less recoil as well as less noise.

One benefit of the DPT is you can add more baffles
