cactusjack Report post Posted July 24, 2015 It is too late for this year, but never too late to get it rolling for next year. At Merchant Firearms they have in stock 2 of the best hunting suppressors to come out, in my opinion. Silencerco 30cal Harvester and the Silencerco 30cal Omega. They both weigh under a pound (11.3 oz and 14oz) and reduce the sound to a hearing safe level and the recoil to pleasant. They also improve accuracy by stopping the vibration at the barrel and helping to eliminate the flinch many of us develop from the noise and the beating our shoulders take. This is a Rem Mod Seven in 308 that I had threaded. It weighs 8lbs 4 oz with scope(vortex 2.5-10x32ffp), rings, Harvester30 suppressor, sling and mount I put on it. My now 12 year old daughter loves shooting it. It kicks about the same as a 223 bolt rifle. These suppressors are rated for 300Win Mag down to 17hm2/22lr. Im glad we can now use them hunting, supersonic ammo still cracks the sound barrier but the shooter and spotters don't get that nice ringing that gets worse. Owning suppressors is easy. It just takes time and $. In my opinion it is so worth the time and $. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted July 24, 2015 Usually the Forms take 4-8 months to process for the stamp. Usually. With only 1-5 months until the hunts, that is pushing it. Plus, you will need to retune your loads, as cans can make a difference in POI and velocity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ready2hunt Report post Posted July 25, 2015 What kind of $$ are you looking at? I'd love to set my Rem 700 30-06 with one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cactusjack Report post Posted July 25, 2015 Sorry for the confusion on the time. It takes a couple of months (up to 6 in some occasions) to get the Federal Stamp back. The suppressors run from 600 to 1000 depending on what it is made from. Then you still have to pay the 200 tax stamp to the Feds. I tried to post the picture of the Model Seven. I will try again. Thank you LanceKenyon for clearing up the fog. Correct on the poi (point of impact) shift. That is the reason I like to dedicate a suppressor to the rifle I build. I try not to shoot them unsuppressed anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cazador Report post Posted July 25, 2015 Nice setup... why did you pick the harvester over the omega? Price? Omega is a little more smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactusjack Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I own 2 Harvesters with stamps. I own 1 Harvester and 1 Omega that are in ATF jail still. The Harvester is lighter. and the omega wasnt out when I bought the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Report post Posted July 26, 2015 I'll stick with earplugs but am curious as to the maintenance for these. Any special service requirements? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 300ultramag. Report post Posted July 26, 2015 I read that the actual sound isn't the only thing that causes hearing loss it is the concussion of the sound wave that is also a culprit. I want to go down this path eventually. Just need the funds and patience 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactusjack Report post Posted July 26, 2015 No service required on rifle suppressors. 22 rim fire cans need to be cleaned from the lead build up. Ear plugs are great, but they don't reduce recoil, improve accuracy or stop the conduction of sound waves through the bones in skull. I have a 300ultramag Tejas with a muzzle brake on it. It is miserable for those around me at the range when i shot it. I will have it suppressed someday if I ever shoot it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wklman Report post Posted August 2, 2015 Just ordered an sas arbiter for my 270 weatherby. Can't wait until I can get out and shoot it. I'm the same way with recoil and muzzle brakes. I don't like either one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
