I went through the same and picked the sportsman dt. I like the mount system/brake/sacraficial component and it looks better. They are probably close in sound.

No. Also, i might add another reason for the sportsman dt.....b/c everybody seems to be on the harvester bandwagon and i decided not to be. |

I choose the Harvester as it has more mounting options and I liked the anchor brake.

Griffen's website only lists 1/2x28 and 5/8x24.
http://www.griffinarmament.com/Sportsman-Direct-Thread-Muzzle-Brake-Insert-p/sdtci.htm SICO 5/8×24, M18x1 (Sako TRG), 9/16×24 RH, 1/2×28, 1/2×32, 7/16×28 http://www.store.silencerco.com/collections/center-fire-rifle/products/harvester-thread-mount I checked all this 2 months ago to make certain on my decision. |

1/2X28 and 5/8x24 are the only thread pitches I care about.
All the extra ones offered by SiCo for the Harvester is a moot point. |

My jury is still out on the longevity of a pure aluminum centerfire rifle can- I suppose time will tell. Griffin says they make the baffles 8-10 times thicker. OK that gives it longer life, but what is the wear rate of a aluminum baffle in a centerfire rifle application vs. stainless steel? It would be nice to have some empirical data. |

Ive got 3 other 762 cans.....so this one is meant for one gun. Its a bolt gun and it gets hunted with a few times a year. Im the can will outlast me and my heirs. |

All you have to do is ask. They do all kinds of odd thread pitches, theyre just not listed on their site. Hell they even make the dreaded 14x1. |

I'm not saying they can't make them I just went by what was available at the moment of my decision.
I also went with SICO as I already bought a Saker so why not stick with the same brand. Also the can is a bit thinner and a little lighter. It was a no brainer to me. The Sportsman is a bit shorter though. |

Also the can is a bit thinner and a little lighter. It was a no brainer to me. The Sportsman is a bit shorter though. I think they are both great cans, and their performance is nearly identical. On the harvester can the external muzzle brake be removed and accept a normal end cap in its place? For those who are interested... Sportsman DT: 11.9 oz, 1.69" diameter, 8.6" long. 135 dB at muzzle with .308 win and a 20" barrel. 129 dB at the shooters ear. 19.29 cubic inches of volume (less when figuring in the internal brake, baffles or internal diameter). Harvester .30: 11.3 oz, 1.37" diameter, 8.8" long. 136.4 dB at muzzle with .308 win on undisclosed length barrel. dB at shooters ear also undisclosed. Volume is 12.97 cubic inches (less when figuring in the brake, baffles, mount and ID) |

No the harvester brake cannot be removed. I have not shot them back to back but my SOT buddy has and he said the harvester sounded louder when shot under a canopy. His client bought the sportsman. Ive got cans from almost all of the major manufacturers, I see no reason to stick to one brand. Buy the can that fits your needs from a company that will take care of you. In this case both cans are backed by great companies so it comes down to the design you prefer. Im not a fan of the anchor brake so it'd be an easy decision for me.

Thanks! I'm definitely NOT a brand whore when it comes to stuff. I have two SWR Spectre II's, a Gemtech Trek and a now a Thompson Machine Isis 2 waiting on a Form 4. Variety is the spice of life... right?
I think I will go with the Sportsman DT. Its quieter, shorter and does not have the external brake like the Harvester. |

All yeah i forgot to add that I paid under $500 for the Harvester so that helped too.
It seems both cans are about the same other than one has a break on it. |

I got the harvester because of the spectre ii deal.
