6mm06
Well-known member
Today I was in a local gun shop that carries suppressors and was the first time I have looked more seriously at them. I have the bug like a lot of others, but don't know enough at this point to know what to get.
The guy in the store showed me a Silencerco Harvester 30 caliber can for my list of possible rifles to use it on. To my surprise, it was rather light weight, and the price was something I could more easily afford ($529). My initial caliber list includes a 7mmSTW and 6mm06, both Remington Senderos, and my CZ 527 Varmint .17 Remington. Most likely I would use it on the .17 Rem the most, but would be nice to use on the others as well when the need arises. I also have a Dtech AR (20" barrel) in 6x45 that could find some use with it.
So, I'm basically searching for some advice and to learn more, and basically for just some good discussion for the sake of learning. I have questions in my mind as to using the Silencerco Harvestor as opposed to some other model or brand that may cost a lot more. I see that some suppressors are double the price, and one question I have is, are they worth the difference for hunting situations.
Then also, if using a 30 caliber can, would it serve me well with the .17 Rem and the 6x45 considering the larger can size? Will I lose much suppression on the smaller calibers with a 30 caliber can? If I understand correctly from the reading I have done so far, there is some decrease in suppression when using a larger can, but will it be so much as to really matter?
