Sorry if this has been covered before. Did a quick search and didn't see what I was looking for.

Thinking about making the move to get a suppressor. Looking at the Saker 7.62. I currently have a 5.56, a .308 and looking to add a 300 Blk in the near future.

Anyone have any experience with these cans? Pros/Cons? Other recommendations?

TIA

Have one. Love it. You may take a look at their new Omega that's coming out. Doesn't have the trifecta mount but they're working on it.

I have it and love it. Highly recommend.

No experience with Silencerco.

I do run an AAC 762 SDN-6 on my 300BLK and 556 AR guns as well as my 308 and 300BLK bolt.
762 SDN6 does well on the BLK and 556 - not as strong as the Thunderbeast on the 308. Working to get a Thunderbeast Ultra 9 as my dedicated can on the 308 bolt. Shot the 30CB9 (now Ultra 9). It is quieter than the AAC 762 SDN6. (waiting on serial #...)

I've also shot a Thunderbeast 30PSS that will be dedicated for my 300BLK bolt. It is perfectly tuned for 300BLK subsonic. Small, light and quiet. the 30PSS is being replaced by the Ultra 5. Waiting on tax stamp...

Once you get started you will want need more than one can...LOL

Thanks for the info, guys.

04, Silencer Shop and West Fork show to have both the Saker and Omega "on sale" for right at $900. Is that a good sale price or is that really just the going rate? Silencer Shop website shows MSRP on Saker to be about $1300 and Omega to be about $1100.

Strongwind, I will take a look at the SDN-6 as well. I'm trying to get a fairly universal can that I can use on several guns, but I'm quickly realizing that one will not be enough. This will at least get me started.

Check out the YHM cans as well. Great cans, and can generally be found a bit cheaper than Silencerco cans.

Love my silencerco. I went with the Specwar and love it for my blackout, 556 and 270. Got their Spectre II for rimfire and its money as well.

Without hands on experience with the Omega, it sounds like I would pick that over the Saker 10 times out of 10, especially since they've confirmed the new minimum barrel lengths.

But you ought to give the Specwar a look as well, especially since some shopping will save you about $500 over the Omega pricing. (At least 2 shops were offering $400 Specwars during SHOT).

The Omega is brand spanking new, so I wouldn't expect much price movement on that, but the Saker has seen better pricing than $900 recently.

Don't own one, but was able to play with a demo Saker. Really liked it, even with the 7.62 can on a 5.56 rifle.

I'm heavily considering an Omega.

I'd add the Griffon Armament Sportsman to the list, but, you'd want to decide what type of adapter you want and how you will use it (pack it all day attached on a hunting rifle; swap regularly and quickly between platforms?)

I have an AAC SDN 7.62 that I bought with my AAC 300 BLK SBR; I had a hunch I'd be buying a dedicated can for hunting as well but never really researched all the mounting options, POI, heat dissipation, titanium vs stainless, etc).

Right now I'm working on putting together a custom 300WM or 7MAG and trying to decide what can I want on it for hunting and accuracy.

I've always been focused on getting a Thunderbeast, and may do that for a third .30cal can, but, the Griffon and Omega have moved up on my list for price and size/weight.

Right now leaning towards the Griffin Sportsman taper mount:

Some food for thought:

Do you want a QD set up or direct thread? (or an adapter?)

Do you want the least movement in POI or at minimum a predictable change in POI?

Do you want medium or long range accuracy?

Do you plan to stay in the 308/300BLK range or larger magnum cartridges? (300WinMag?)

I'd assume your application would be semi-auto & bolt action for your first can (?)

I'd also assume you want to put a lot of rounds thru it if you are moving between semi-auto and bolt gun, but even on bolt guns some cans dissipate less heat and state a limit (for instance 2-3 rounds per minute)

Good read here on some options and good discussion re; QD's and adapters for hunting-accuracy type cans:

http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?163576-Best-options-for-a-QD-300-win-mag-suppressor

Looking at QD so I can swap easily between rifles.

I would prefer the least amount of movement possible, but at the very least, I would like POI change to be predictable.

Mostly medium range accuracy.

Planning to stay in the .308 range, at least for now, but may look into something like a 300 WinMag later.

I currently do not have any bolt action rifles. I have my AR, and then my .308 is an LR308.

I definitely want something I can put more than 2-3 rounds through per minute.

Weight and the type of mount you have (there is variety in QD mounts) can affect/change POI and you can always check the thread shoulders on your adapter and true them up if you want to get silly with it.

But a heavy suppressor can contribute to lower groups (than with can off).

Just 'indexing' the QD (how many clicks to seat it) and repeating will help improve QD accuracy (well repeatability) to some extent as well.

Not sure what your budget is, but:

$880 Omega sounds like a good fit for you; I don't have one but it would be hard to pass up at 7" and 14oz - it would be my choice (might have talked myself out of a Griffin Sportsman as I write)

Others in order of cost:

$720 SilCo Specwar for price, but, the Specwar will be a little heavy; I'd probably pay for the ~10oz weight savings with the Omega at $880

$850
Dead Air Sandman TI for POI (16oz)

$1080
Surefire Socom 762 MINI
Surefire has a good reputation for QD's and repeatable POI; weight 14oz

Gemtech has a bad rap re: attachment

Griffin doesn't do QD in 7.62

Disclaimer: I do not have direct experience....I'm in the market as well. However, with all of the research that I have done and all of the comparison videos that I have watched, I think the Specwar would be hard to beat for the price. YMMV

Thanks for the email, Complaint.

And thanks for all of the other info, guys.

Doing a little more research, I think it's going to be between the Saker, the Omega, and the SOCOM mini.

SRT Shadow 30cal http://www.srtarms.com. I got mine from Bear Creek Firearms in Keller for $695

I'm happy with my YHM 03 cal Phantom LT. It was the best package for me when I looked; weight, caliber choice, mount, availability and rated for .223 SBR (10.5").

I've read complaint about the AAC mount not securing well and the can had to go back. The YHM latches in the mount, so if you have a failure, you can replace the mount.

If I hadn't the requirement for SBR, I would likely have gone with a Liberty Mystic, give them a look.
