    Suppressor thread

    I remember seeing a suppressor thread somewhere with people posting results from testing ; Db reduction, length, weight, price, ect ect

    Can anyone point me in the right direction or have some advice? Looking for something with good noise reduction, not too long, not too expensive and suited for a 308.
    What’s everyone’s experience with the brands around atm?

    What length you planning on chopping it to? Shorter you go, the more baffles you might want - depending on whether you use factory ammo or roll yer own, and how hot the loads are...

    Probably worth considering getting the stainless steel blast baffle if you plan on putting a few rounds through the DPT. Though if you are trying to keep it light, the std aluminium one will last awhile, especially if you are just hunting and not shooting heaps.
