[QUOTE="Dentite, post: 1770687, member: 84845"] As I understand it: The Hells Canyon Speed is a thin barrel, with metric threads and a brake with no thread protector. The Hells Canyon Long Range is a thicker barrel, with standard 5/8x24 threads that allow you to directly thread on a common 30 cal suppressor. They come with a brake and a thread protector. The Hells Canyon SR is a limited production model with a thin barrel that flares to a thicker portion at the muzzle with 5/8x24 threads, a brake and thread protector. So if you want to shoot suppressed, I'd look at the other two models vs the "Speed" models. Are there adapters that allow you to use a suppressor with the "Speed" models? I don't know. I own both a Hells Canyon Long Range in .300WSM and a Hells Canyon SR in 6.5 Creedmoor. Shoot both suppressed with .30 caliber suppressors. Hope that information is helpful to you. I love X bolts in the $1000 or less price point...they are accurate enough for me (I don't really hunt at really long range), I like the models, the 60 degree throw, etc. I do wish the triggers were a bit lighter. I put an MCarbo spring in one and wasn't really convinced it made a huge difference. Might need more testing. [/QUOTE]
