jcampbellsmith Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Try an AU-SL5 and a Jet-z before you buy. Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyc Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I've got both Hardy in 25-06 and DPT in 7mmRM, both supress sound well but its difficult to say which is better because of the differing rifle characteristics. Both are well built and the DPT has a lifetime guarantee. However the DPT is lighter and I am more comfortable with it, may try it on 25-06 and see if it works.

Jay1 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I have a DPT in 6.5cal, I use it on my 6BR and find it superb. Very light and sound suppression is very good. Size and weight is nearly like a rimfire mod. You can buy additional baffles/baffle kits if you want to improve sound suppression but I didn't see the need too. Very well made, strips in seconds for cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 BUY what you want , BUT donot expect a lite weight ( Aluminium ) suppressor to last a long time their are no free lunches . In NZ most shooters/hunters have been obsesed with ultra lite weight cans , forgeting about sound reduction / durablity , and because of that we have had makers go too lite & due to that have had cans blow up / bludge etc . Going ultra lite in 308 class rds not to bad , ie this amount of gas & pressure seems to be low enough not to cause too much issues , However when you step up to the small magnums , WSM etc and above using the same can material & design that works in 308 , results in blown cans , this can be dangerous , and has already happend in NZ to most makers going very lite , while they replace the cans , this could be a pain to some one living outside of NZ etc. And I am talking of the lastest current cans , just to be cystal clear . I would not use alum cans on anything bigger than 308 size cases , if using bigger , I would go for steel / SS / or TI . Only way to get lite weight is to move to a TI can or a composite can , which has say the 1st , 2-3 baffles made from steel/SS & the 1st part of the tube as well , easy to do on modular cans .

In NZ most shooters/hunters have been obsesed with ultra lite weight cans , forgeting about sound reduction / durablity , and because of that we have had makers go too lite & due to that have had cans blow up / bludge etc . This is due to the terrain we have to deal with , very ruggered , very thick bush ,very hilly , ( its not FLAT like Aussie ) once out of alpine areas , few tracks , limited access & long distances , all put a premium on weight carried . We have NO FLAT , a gentle rolling hill in NZ , is called a MOUNTAIN in Australia , thats my experince of Aussie bush , also the hill was called a mountain on the army map as well .
