I am putting together a model 700 with a 10 inch barrel, because I can. Anyone got any recommendations for a muzzle-forward suppressor that will handle it? I had a Waitaki one before which i liked but I don't think it'd handle the amount of gas.

You could try talking to Scott at http://www.ssrnzhunting.com/contact.html he has built a few 10inch barreled 308s . His suppressors are pretty good.
Talk to Gary or Geoff at MAE, they do some special stuff

Above have beat me to the 'punch', but I'd think a muzzle forward magnum suppressor might do it.
Got a Waitaki SS magnum suppressor for the Omark target rifle, for F/TR.
Not much more noise than a 223 AR-15 (shot in the National Service), than I recall - but magnum suppressors have more capacity, so could be the way to go.
Says a very inexperienced suppressor user.
:yaeh am not durnk:
As stated, Scott Trail is the man to talk to about ultra short barrelled 308's.
On my 13" 7-08 I run a Schultz & Larsen Hardcore can ( only about 2" back, mostly forward of the muzzle ) with fast burning powder .

The scope is longer than the barrel!!

Fuk me that thing would be loud, From experience you still need at least 3-4 baffles to make a can usable with out hearing protection.
As for powder tommy, BMII or 2206h, stuff like this that burns quick so you don't have alot of residue left over.
I have had a mate offer me an MAE one that was .224 cal, and been reamed out by a gunsmith to .30cal, do you reckon A; the baffles are the same thickness/strength as the .30cal ones, and B; would the .30cal version even it stand up to the blast from a 10" barrel?
Cheers, Tom
Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me
