I have Silencerco, Gemtech, and Thunderbeast, and the only one I wouldn't buy from again is Silencerco.
I do need to get on some of those sights.
Gemtech One seems to be popular, just have to buy a QD mount with that one as it is not included.

Yes I plan on buying only 1 and switching it off between AR rifles. And then getting my .257 threaded so I can use it deer hunting next year also

The Gemtech One is one. If you want to use a suppressor on multiple platforms, it needs to be at least .30 caliber (I use a .45 on my .300 blackout) and it should have a quick detach, as thread patterns differ between the different calibers, so a direct thread would have to have pain in the *** thread adapters without a QD. Silencerco makes the Hybrid 46, but, as stated, I'm not a fan of Silencerco. Do some research, talk to Silencershop, and really make an educated choice, because once you apply for that stamp, there's no going back.

Originally posted by ultrastealth View PostMy experiences with Silencerco have been less than spectacular. I have a 7.62SD which chronically loosens and has been repaired once, but hoops had to be jumped through, and there was no admission of a design flaw. Ask virtually anyone who has a Silencerco suppressor that uses a 51T mount, and they will tell you all about it.
SilencerCo does sell adapters for that mounting system but it is not their design.

Yes I plan on using a 7.62/.308 suppressor so I can use it with anything up to a .308 as I won't be shooting anything bigger then that.

Further, you just made a case about SilencerCo based on an AAC suppressor. I am confused.

Originally posted by -HIC- View PostI am not following you. The 7.62SD is an AAC suppressor, not SilencerCo. You also reference 51T, that also was/is an AAC design. Since Remington now owns AAC I am not surprised you have had warranty issues.

Originally posted by -HIC- View PostI am with you on the Octane. I think the idea to cover everything from .45 to sub sonic .300 was better on paper. My Octane .45 has not been used in years.

That can is great for precision rifles. Someone mentioned no POI shift. However, I always see some POI shift when shooting suppressed regardless of the can. The key is that the shift is repeatable with every mount/unmount. Consistency is key and Thunderbeast has that nailed down.
I was not a fan of the original Saker ratchet mount for that very reason. I have moved all of my SilencerCo stuff over to the ASR mount and have found the POI shift to be very consistent.

I'm not big on dedicated bolt gun cans.
