[QUOTE="ajkellerusmc, post: 1589268, member: 108702"] I now have 5 and number 6 is stuck on a feds desk somewhere in DC awaiting his approval. Once you go suppressed you never go back. Stay away from ratchet mounts or QD's from silencer co. They gum up with fouling and then they will not unlock so you can move the can to another rifle. As far as weight look to units made from inconel and or titanium which will be lighter but will also be more on the expensive side. Longer cans will be quieter than short stubby ones. Go direct thread onto your barrel and sight the rifle in and leave it there. If You remove it re sight the rifle as POI will change. There is a great unit called a tri-lug adapter and mine works great on the 338 Lapua and then moving the can to the 308 without and difficulty or fouling. My Tri-lug adapters are from Gemtech and the Can is the Arrow. I have had great accuracy with it on both rifles. The Silencer co Saker 556 is now on a Ruger American ranch in 556 with a 18 inch barrel and is still short and handy for backyard coyotes or for the back seat of the truck. It shot a .375 5 shot group with black hills 77gr TMK and is directly threaded to the barrel and locked with a jamb nut. Good luck, I do not want to shoot anymore with out a muffler on the end of my rifles. [/QUOTE]
