Nice man. Tremendous advantages for sure. They absolutely should be easier to get. This year was also the 1st time I've been able to harvest a couple deer with one. The sound of the impact was surprisingly loud...At 260 yards it seemed louder than the report of the rifle.
First Deer with Suppressed Rifle...Incredible

I have shot 308,22-250,223,6.5 with and without brake and with an omega 300 suppresser the difference is enough for me to shoot with the can all the time
Yep, they've done well since the introduction of their original clamp-on MB. I am actually considering it too because of one of my latest rifle acquisition has a muzzle diameter too thin for a 5/8-24 thread.

They do make thread adapters for smaller dia barrels.
I've been shooting suppressed for a few years.
Two shots come to mind, a head shot at 120 and shoulder at 354 both from a creed with a 7 inch TB.
Those two were dramitic as it was late and dead still. The pop of bullet impact was dramatic given the conditions.

Do these guarantee concentricity with the bore? I'd be concerned about misalignment and a baffle strike.

I'd love to have one......"if" I didn't have to cut about 8" off of my rifle barrel. Can't envision "hunting" with a barrel longer than 26", and much prefer my 24"! memtb
I would also like to add the benefit to getting the kids involved in hunting. My son is very sensitive to noise and the suppressors are amazing to help cut down on that boom. If you want to be really impressed load up some lehigh defense 194 maximum expansion in a 300 blackout, they are devastating on deer. Subsonic loads are the best way to enjoy a suppressor, especially a 22lr.
That's an excellent question. This can be a potential safety issue/ concern.
I've read here that suppressors can actually make your gun (load) shoot more accurate. So, I was excited when I got mine to shoot of course! However, my 6.5 CM went from 3/4" ctc groups all day with my handloads at 100 yards, to 1 1/2" ctc! What the? Any thoughts on this?

I had to rework new loads for all my rifles when putting on a suppressor. After new loads were established, I got equal or *slightly* better groups.
On the slip on threaded adapter, I have read that guys have trouble keeping them from slipping, especially on magnum rifles. Anybody able to confirm?

Possible deflection with interference (alignment / bullet striking inside can), or the change in barrel harmonics is causing an issue. I would ask your builder for help before anything else.
The POI on my 22-250 didn't change and still shot the same group
The 308 has not been shot without a can and the same for the 7-08

Get out of New York and you'll have enough money left after taxes to buy a suppressor.
