its only just there on low power and never takes up more than 1/4 at very worst of total view.....
overall length is funny too......I had a dpt can and gunworks spartan,the skinny one and the middle fatness one...of them all the longest skinniest one suits me best as there is little bit more weight back towards action compared to other two...and overall length is within and inch between them all....
they all sound similar.... I believe a lot of folks get all hung up on the little things,tiny bit of extra length or weight is bugger all in grand scheme of things.
just shoot the thing and enjoy the sport.... any can is better than none....

Yeah each to their own eh. I tend to use gear and try it out. If its not quite right I get rid of it and try something else until I find something that fits the purpose I have in mind. Over the last few years I have slowly found bits and pieces of kit that i liked. Once I find something I do like thats pretty much it, no need to keep looking.

The gunworks suppressors were adequate, but I found the length annoying. It just irritated me. You are right that in the grand scheme of things whats a couple of inches (insert penis joke here) I found it made the rifle just feel too long. I was and am pretty happy with the DPT. I found the Maniatis and liked the design. Like the gunworks it comes further back (bringing the balance with it) but without the extra couple of inches further forward the gunworks has.

I also like having two different branded suppressors for my two rifles. Now theres no way I will accidentally put my .223 DPT on my 708
