What is considered the best suppressor for precision shooting?
I was eyeing up th Saker 762 But I have a SDN6, curious if someone makes a suppressor that is best for long range precision shooting? |

Most common answer will be Thunderbeast. They are the bigger name in precision suppressor world. With that said I currently use a specwar 7.62 and have no decline in accuracy when I go from unsuppressed to suppressed and my POI shift is consistent which is important.
If I was looking for a dedicated precision can, I would get a Thunderbeast. I was impressed with the ones I demoed. |

I know thunderbeast is popular and I assume the main reason for that aside from their quality is that Zak is immersed in the prs world and those guys are very loyal to each other.
my guess is that just about any thread on can from a quality manufacturer will get the job done as will a lot of the QD cans. don't hear about many modern cans making guns shoot worse. |

This is true. Their relationship with Mile High as well as a ton of the snipers hide crew. They don't just build cans, they compete and such too |
| Precision rifle blog survey of 100 PRS shooters had the silencerco omega being used more (by 3 or 4 I think) than Thunderbeast cans. But some attribute that to some push or presence of silencerco at these events. I don't think Thunderbeast is the only answer by any means but certainly once to consider. |

One advantage to something like the Thunder Beast Ultra 7 is that it's 9.7oz with a 2oz mount vs the Saker that's 20.7oz with a 3-4oz mount. That's quite a bit heavier. I know some people don't mind the extra weight on a gun that's already heavy, but our bolt guns are already in the 15-16# range unloaded and I wanted to minimize how much weight I added to them.
There's also a dude on Sniper's Hide who mentioned how a SiCo Omega opened up his friend's bolt gun from a 1/4 moa gun to a 1/2 moa gun FWIW. |

We POI shift tested 5 seperate Recce 7's in 3 5 shot groups comprised of 5 cans each, and our 3 groups were sub MOA. Two of 3 were 1/2MOA or better if I recall correctly.
The Recce 7 is a very high precision suppressor, with a totally repeatable mounting system. The new Alpha uses the same mount and is ~3 ounces lighter so it may be a little more perfect yet for that category- as weight added is the primary source of POI shift. |

When do you anticipate the Alpha being available? |
