    Default Input on suppressor recommendations .30 cal down

    I have looked into the Thunderbeast but am curious on any other suppressors that may be better? If so what are the pros and cons of each suppressor? Thanks!

    I have Thunderbeast, Shark and SureFire 308 cans.

    The TBAC and Shark are equals as far as weight, noise and attachment. The SF is heavy and not as quiet, but goes on and off very easy. I dont mind getting my SF really hot from long strings of fire.

    In the end accuracy wins for me and thats where TBAC is tops.

    I don't have mine yet (doing the holy wait game) but my research pointed to the TBAC being the one to buy for .30. If I am going to wait that long the money is secondary and the general conscious seems to be either AAC or Thunderbeast depending on the caliber. I went with TBAC for .30 /.223 and AAC for 9mm/.45. For .22 I juat went with a TAC since .22 does not seem too hard to supress so I was not as worried. This is all stated from research and not personal knowledge when I was at the same stage you look to be in. I took a lot of input from here also.

    THUNDERBEAST is tops in POI consistency for precision shooting......... took a tour of their little manufacturing operation up in Cheyenne......its the secret sauce that insures POI consistency.

    Hoser nailed it. TBAC for direct thread on suppressor with high levels of accuracy. Surefire QD for a gun that is going to shoot faster strings and generate a lot of heat.
    Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.

    I have the Gemtech Quicksand. Same as the Sandstorm, but QD. Supposedly the lightest QD .308 can available (per Gemtech, ...grain of salt..). I really like it. Very quiet and consistent POI. I use it on .308, but mostly on my.260. The QD is fast and solid.

    The harvester is pretty new was just announced about a week or so ago. It would be a couple of months before dealers see them come in on a F3 but that all depends if they are done ready to ship or in production. I wait for silencerco to come out with more videos and maybe sound testing. Also its a .300 win mag rated can, i thinks they have a .338 version also so it looks like there are two types under one name.
