    (SF Socom 762 for multipurpose) OR (TB 30P1 & swr specwar 762)

    It's about a 200 difference in price overall but I'm looking for honest experienced opinion on this.

    Looking to suppress:
    300blk SBR ar - 10.2"
    5.56 ar - 14.5"
    308 precision bolt action

    I realize two of these are too new for someone to give me hands on feedback but previous model experience will do

    I personally would not use a thunder beast for high rate semi auto fire. Being made out of all titanium it will be more susceptible to over heating damage.

    I haven't gotten my Socom yet, but that is what my wallet went with. I do want to get a thunder beast 338 eventually for precision work. For multiple calibers, semi auto, precision work the surefire is the way to go.

    Sorry I guess I didn't elaborate enough. The TB would be dedicated for the 308 and the specwar for my ar platforms.

    Or to use the Socom for all 3

    Another option, get the thunder beast for your bolt gun.... And get the socom mini for the 300 black and 5.56. 700 dollars cheaper than the RC and much lighter and shorter.

    True,
    But surefire's top of the line 5.56 can (rc) is basically the 762 mini, blackout is pretty darn quiet to begin with.

    Here is a decent video showing last generation differences between the longer and shorter mini in 7.62

    I'm going for a 762 mini. Will be used on my 556, 300 blk and 308 bolt gun. Buy once cry once.
