Can for mid-sized rifle

Can anyone recommend a good 6" suppressor for a 243 or 25-06 (or something else in that range)? Obviously I don't need it for recoil reduction. I just want something quiet for a 20-22" barrel.

Thunderbeast Ultra 5 or 7. You won't ever regret it.

Definitely recommend the Ultra 7

Long live Remmy700

Ultra 7 or Sico Omega. Both very light and very quiet.

I was thinking I wanted a 243 with a 20" carbon barrel so that with a 7" can, the barrel wouldn't be too obnoxiously long and the can would match the contour of the barrel. Christensen Arms make a Ridgeline in a 6.5 Creedmore with a 20" barrel, but their 243 has a 24" barrel. I really wanted a 243, but now I am considering the 6.5. I am assuming that the 6.5 with a can is going to kick like a 243 without. This is why I really enjoy shooting my current 243. It doesn't kick and a 90 grain Accubond performs great on coyotes up through antelope and deer.

A 6.5 Creedmoor with an Ultra7 kicks like a 223

I know it's a little longer than you initially stated at 8.8" but the harvester 300 is a good $300 cheaper than the Thunderbeast Ultra 7 and very similar performance.. You can get a flat front end cap for the harvester and save about an inch but when you use the anchor brake that comes on it spotting hits is noticeable better. I have not had any problems with the ASR mount on the harvester either, its a good setup that locks so it doesn't come loose on bolt guns or ar's. Its not a setup that's any good for mag dumps but its excellent on hunting rounds, I know mine does quite well on a 22-250 all the way to 300 win mag so the 243 and 25-06 should do quite well.

if you are set on length being the driving decision factor buy the ultra 5 but expect it to be slightly louder than the 7 or harvester.

not sure you can change those parts out on a harvester, I know the omega allows it. The omega is one of the shortest, lightest and quietest cans on the market, even compared to the tbac cans

The TBAC Ultra 7 and Ultra 9 are kind of the gold standard and what the rest are compared to.

If you want the best, get yourself a TBAC Ultra 7 or 9.

Repeatability and precision are what you should look at, and TBAC is really the gold standard for precision cans. The noise reduction between an Ultra-7 and any other similar 7-inch can is not even worth getting into the weeds about, primarily because there is no industry standard for testing and the 'reported' numbers are just marketing figures.

BUT, a 6.5 Ultra-7 will suppress a 6.5 caliber as well as a 30cal Ultra-9

you definitely can, its maybe a more recent development as the harvester has been around for a while and the ASR mount for it as well as the flat front cap have not.
