ditto, that's why I'm not tearing off my clothes and pulling out my hair for having bought the Saker. Anything below 130 is backyard safe when it comes to the neighbors, and the added durability/modularity of the Saker benefits me more then the weight savings of the Omega, IMHO.
I may still pick an Omega up eventually, but will wait and see if the rumored Saker 762 K releases this summer.

I did say rumor, but i'll try and dig up where I read that since you bring it up.

Post #17, the user says SiCo rep said 16" barrel, 220gr subsonic, 10rd avg. of 119.5dB. The rep did not have original test data for max dB or first round pop.
41P is a signed executive order. It is BS but inevitable nonetheless. CLEO signature is not possible everywhere.

Another interesting data point:
Silencerco's ammo (which was 1 piece of the Omega's claimed 119 db puzzle) is claimed to be 3-4 dB quieter then other ammo.
*it also states a 16" barrel used, which leads me further to believe they used a 16" for Omega testing.

I'd be willing to wager the Omega (with another brands ammo) will meter around 123-126 on any given day (end cap used, testing environment, testing procedure, equipment used etc. )
Still impressive, and still quieter then the Saker, but at more believable sound levels.

For sure! ....... at the cost of durability.
I would love to see a third party shoot off between all 4 SiCo cans on the same day, same ammo, etc. (Harvester, Omega, Specwar and Saker).
Edit to add: would love to know what SiCo's blackout recipe is... I would have assumed they were using 1680 like most other sub loads.

i know this doesn't include the Omega..but figured it was worth posting.
This guy does quite a few vids with different rounds...This one in particular is 300 blackout...Its the Specwar Saker 7.62 Harvester 762 and Osprey 45...honestly in the vid its hard to tell any noticeable difference..Since i am going for mainly 300 blackout I think the Omega is the obvious choice...Like said though i do want to see the difference between direct thread and the asr weight wise and sound wise.
Basically I want the DB/Weight of the can used as Direct thread without the brake at the end. Then see Weight/DB with the asr and brake...and possibly with asr and no brake...See where the happy medium is with this can for 300 blackout(which is what my primary use will be)
Anyway here's the video, he has more doing same test different calibers.
