    Saw a little more info on it today. Looks like it can use ASR mounts. 10" min for 5.56, 16" min barrel for .308, and 20" for magnum rounds. Under 15oz. (I think full details come out in an announcement on 1/12)

    Dead Air and Rugged will also have cans to consider. SHOT should be very interesting.

    Knights armament QDC in 7.62
    It's rated for 300 win mag. ANd the MAMS muzzle brake is the tits. Really helps reduce recoil even without the can.

    I really like the taper mount design, its simple and it works. I do not have the harvester but I have a Recce 7 and return to zero has been very consistent with 3 different rifles.

    This is a quote from another member who has had contact with Silencershop and this is their response.

They don't lock the can into place but due to the can screwing down on top of the mount and making contact with more surface area on the mount there is a lot of friction keeping the can in place. When properly installed, taper mount cans are not easily unscrewed. The Compression mounts like Surefire and Saker (and KAC) are just behind taper mounts in consistency due to less contact with the muzzle device and they have the added variable of how tight the user turns the mount down each time. Compression mounts usually lock the can into place with some sort of detent mechanism or latch. AACs rachet design is not quit a compression design. Direct thread suppressors do not have the same friction holding them in place as threaded taper mount suppressors, so users may have issues with the can loosening where taper mounts and obviously locking compression mounts would not.

    You've already mentioned some of the things you are looking for, but it may be easier to rank these features into one post:

    Rank the following by value. (Below is my ranking from most to least important in regards to a semiauto can).

    -Mount/locking mechsnism
    -POI shift
    -Accuracy
    -Blowback on semiautomatic weapons
    -Signature (flash etc.)
    -Durability
    -Customer service/support
    -Weight
    -db reduction
    -Price
    -If the cool kids are running these




    FWIW, the SOCOM762-RC is rated to 300 RUM and doesn't loose much db's on the higher pressured rounds due to how SF designed it (around full power military loads). Where it sucks is with low pressure subsonic rounds (i.e. 300 blackout).

    I personally would look at:

    Surefire SOCOM762-RC
    Silencerco Saker 762
    Silencerco Harvester Big Bore
    Silencerco Omega (when announced)
    Thunderbeast 338BA.

    I know you would like to avoid a 338 can, but if decibels is more of a concern over length/weight then that is the way to go. I would probably skip the 30CB9 as it is more geared towards 308/6.5 creedmoor.

    I have a 300 RUM and decided to go with a TBAC 338BA as my precision/hunting can. It honestly doesn't feel much heavier then my SOCOM762-RC.

    These have been posted elsewhere and then deleted. We'll see if they last this time.

    That looks awesome..... almost too good to be true.

    2" shorter, and 5 db's quieter then an AAC Cyclone on 300 blackout.

    If their claims are true I may just have to buy one. But will wait until Silencershop can verify these claims.

    Well that squashes really any concern for the taper mount I had. Thank you for the feedback.

    -Mount/locking mechsnism (3)
    -POI shift (2. I know other factors play into this.. barrel length and can weight)
    -Accuracy (1. This will be for taking game and precision shooting at longer distances. Got to make the shot count.)
    -Blowback on semiautomatic weapons (9. Going on bolt guns. Maybe a semi 308 if I ever buy one. Its not really on the short list)
    -Signature (flash etc.) (7)
    -Durability (5)
    -Customer service/support (6. Does anyone not take care of their customers?)
    -Weight (4.)
    -db reduction (8. This doesnt really matter that much, as no subs will be shot through the rifle. Just magnum rounds for the most part. I have other setups for being quiet)
    -Price (as long as its under 2k, I dont care)
    -If the cool kids are running these (wait, people care about this.. And who are these cool kids everyone keeps talking about )


    You could jumble 1-4 up and I would still be happy.

Where it sucks is with low pressure subsonic rounds (i.e. 300 blackout). I use pistol cans on 300blkout subs so this is no way a factor in my decision.

    The Thunderbeast Titanium can is one of the ones Pappabear runs. It's very nice. It's thread on to the mount, and the mount is a pretty wide brake, but it's the can I'd like to buy.

    AVOID anything that rhymes with Gemtec. Once again Gemtec has screwed up the mount system. We ran their sandstorm on two different barrels and mounts and were getting light endcap strikes. Gemtec is completely incapable of making a good fast attach mount.

    I'd probably steer you towards Thunderbeast. They use a taper mount system in their CB and BA line.

    They are arguably going to be the most accurate cans out there. They have a massive following over at Snipershide and are the used by the top professionals in nationwide PRS competitions.

    You can send TBAC an email regarding your load data and barrel length. Zak will be able to tell you if the CB9 would be a good choice for your 300 or if the 338BA would be better.


    Whichever can you buy, make sure you pick up a suppressor cover for reducing mirage. I have both an Armageddon and a Rifles Only. I prefer the Rifles Only design better.

    That's how Pappabear came to know his. We've shot a few hundred rounds of 300WM through it, and it's solid.
