Thread: Suppressor advice pls?

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

And DPT supports the forum

And the lifetime warranty.

I have used DPT and MAE overbarrel suppressors.

Noise Reduction: Equal
Weight: DPT is much lighter
Recoil Reduction: MAE is noticeably better (probably because it's heavier)
Handling: DPT is shorter, more balanced and way easier to carry
Build quality: MAE is an absolute tank, but I don't see the DPT breaking down any time soon either.
View through scope: DPT does have a larger diameter, so the end of the suppressor may be visible through the scope at say 3x or 4x power. Whereas the MAE has a smaller diameter.

Ive got mae and gunworks mae is heavy but amazingly quiet for its size

What do you do about the mirage from a hot suppressor? Asbestos cloth? O-:
