    TBAC Ultra 7 vs. ?

    After foolishly waiting for the HPA or whatever to pass, I've decided to move forward with a suppressor purchase. I would like feedback from the group before I write the check. The purpose of the .30 caliber suppressor will be two fold. During hunting season it will be on a lightweight bolt run. Off hunting season it will be on a HD SBR which currently sports a AAC M4 2000 -18t. My bolt gun currently has a very effective AAC Cyclone, but its heavy as a brick. My preferences in decision making are lightweight & maneuverability. After researching my current front runner is the TBAC Ultra 7 at $1040. My 2nd consideration is Dead Air Sandman K at $569 and Dead Air Sandman S at $829. So, what do you think buy just one and use the TBAC Ultra 7 and go back and forth? Or for both Dead Air products for about $390 more (Plus the $200 extra stamp). Or some other direction?

    Considering:
    Sandman K: 5.4 inch, 12.8oz
    Sandman S: 6.8 inch, 18.5oz
    TBAC Ultra 7: 7 inch, 9.7oz.

    Current:
    AAC M4 2000: 6.6 inch, 17.6oz.
    AAC Cyclone: 9.5 inch, 22.4 oz.

    I wouldn't put an Ultra 7 on a 5.56 sbr. That's just me.

    I bought an Ultra 7 for a bolt gun. In your case with 2 (very different, imo) needs I would get 2 cans.

    I would go two as well, and I also wouldnt be using an ultra on an SBR, given the choice.

    If you are not married to any particular mount, there are some good options/pricing available with cans like the Rugged Razor, and Griffin promotion as well.

    Not married to any mounting system. This purchase will start that process.

    The folks above are correct... that's a two can situation. Sean has a good recommendation on the Sandman-S for the HD SBR, and Ultra 7 would make a good can on a hunting rifle.

    TBAC silencers are for precision bolt guns. They are not appropriate for a assault rifle.

    I would get a Sandman or Surefire RC for your autoloading rifles and a TBAC for your bolt gun.

    Thanks to all for the feedback. Given my primary objective of lightweight and maneuverability, I'm not sure what, if anything, I would gain by replacing the AAC M4-2000 with the Sandman S on my AR as their length and weight are very similar.
