I've already got old technology, but if I were buying today, Saker 762 all the way. Good luck.

neither. Both are heavy, and I don't care for AAC's mount system ( I have a M4-2000 myself). I'd spend a bit more money,and get a Saker 762

Ditto. Pay for what you want, not what's cheaper. This is more than likely a lifetime purchase.

I have a 7.62 LT and really like it. That being said, i ordered mine before the Saker 7.62. I too would say look at Silencerco options if you can. Between the two you listed i chose the LT just for smaller size and slightly less weight. Also prefer YHMs mounting system, it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing thing to most people, but it does the job it is meant to do and does it well.

I'd get the Harvester/Spectre II combo at Silencershop, and then decide which dedicated 5.56 can based on what you want. I went with a SpecWar 5.56 because it is a beast and was only $500 locally.
The Harvester is designed as a hunting rifle suppressor. It is only 11.3 oz. It is 9" in length, and is a direct thread mount. You could use it on your AR if you wanted to, but it designed for a slower rate of fire (no more than 10 rounds per minute is what I've read) |

I've been shooting the Harvester lately with my reloads. It's a nice suppressor. Well worth the money and sounds great. With my Tikka and factory ammo. I can shoot nickle sized groups with it at 100 yards. You can do a mag dump with it, but let it cool afterwards. To me, it's a precision/hunting can. Ill abuse my saker but not the Harvester. |

I would think the 762SD would be a good value because of the rebate. I almost bought one of these recently, the $525 local price that did not require a transfer fee and the $200 credit is worth about $125-150 or so if you flipped it or the stuff you got with it. |

Also in the neither camp.
If this is going to end up on your 700 than I would either get the Harvester or the SpecWar if you want a heavier duty can and then also take advantage of Silencer Shop's $99 Spectre II deal at the same time. |

Damn you guys are always trying to get me to spend more money!
Starting to think YHM LT. Would work for everything I have at the moment. Then I could get a dedicated .30 cal can for the 700. Get a dedicated 556 can for the ar. And then retire the YHM LT for dedicated use on a 300 BO without it being a mile long. Thoughts? |

I retract by previous statement. I am interested in the 762 specwar. I did not realize it went up to 300 WM.
$720 can and $270 SS direct would still keep me under my goal of 1000. Anyone have a picture of a specwar on a 16 in AR? Please and thanks |

You can also add a Spectre II for $99 when you purchase a Specwar 762.

Best sound suppression. I am also getting a Specwar 556, but if you want one to cover both and not buy a Saker 762, get the Specwar 762. If you get the Specwar 762, do the SS deal and get the Spectre II. I have that can also and love it. Colt 6940 with Specwar 762 
DPMS Recon Gen 1 .308 
And if you do the Spectre II deal, a Ruger 22/45 wearing it.

Thank you for the pictures.
I think I'm sold on the specwar. Now the choice is flash hider vs muzzle break... |

I think for 16" barrels, it doesn't really matter whether it is FH or MB. I used FHs as if I am shooting without the suppressor, it is not as loud, especially to others at the range.

Probably not as important on 16" barrels, but I still prefer using muzzle brakes because (1) I don't really ever intend to shoot the host unsuppressed so a flash hider doesn't really mean much to me and (2) I want the brake act as a sacrificial "blast baffle" (even if it's minimally with a longer barrel). |

That's what I chose for my first can (that and the Spectre as well) From everyhthing I've read and seen, it's a solid performer. It may not be the lightest or shortest but from all accounts, it appears to suppress the best, especially when using 300 BLK subs. IIRC, SS's sound metering of the 300 BLK with subs came in around ~120dB. eta- my primary host will be my 8" 300 sbr and I chose the fh mount.

You seem like you aren't thrilled about the length and weight of the Specwar, have you looked into the Saker 762 or is it out of your price range? It is shorter and lighter than the Specwar and is rated for 300 win mag. I just got mine last week and it is awesome. You will likely have this thing for the rest of your life, I wouldn't let a couple hundred bucks deter me, unless your budget just can't swing it. |

The saker 762 will come in around 126 DB for 300 AAC. I don't think that's a deal breaker for sound. Granted there's a slight human audible difference, but the size and versatility offset that. If it's a combo deal purchase or 200 credit, then ok. I'm picking up my saker tomorrow. Sure am excited to have it. |
