I love my Sandman L on my 20" PBR XP .308. Other than that, you could also look at the Surge and the Recce 7. All quiet, durable, and good mounts.

I have a very limited sample size (1) but I love my Sandman S. I wanted something bombproof so I could run it on any barrel length I wanted. It has no minimum barrel length restrictions.

Be sure and check out the Surge, I really like the modularity it offers.

All fine choices with features and personal preferences being the primary differences.
The Sandman S is a little louder, the cost for being smaller. I personally prefer the deeper tone of the Omega, Sandman S and Surge over the higher pitch of the Sandman L. I also prefer the lighter weight of the Omega, and the QD and DT options, end cap options. I like the Surge's two configurations, and it is quiet in the long configuration like the Omega and deep in tone too, like the Omega. Heavy though, like the Sandman L. Pick your winner, you can't go wrong with any of them. Fwiw, the Omega was my choice, primarily because of weight. JPK |

Maybe it's old news, but the Specwar 762 is still a beast of a can honestly in terms of suppression.
Worth a look. |

Quoted: I am looking to get a suppressor for my Remington 700 SPS Tactical 16.5" .308. I have 4 suppressors already, all SilencerCo. I am looking at the Omega, but also hear good things about the Sandman-L, and Sandman-S. Which one of these would work best for this rifle? I may eventually someday end up with an AR-10 or SCAR-17 also, so I want something that would work well on those. Or is there anything else I should be looking at? Thanks What qualities do you value most? I can't/shouldn't use my Omega an SBR 6.8SPC. I like it's size and weight a lot. It is super sweet on a 300BO and works well on a .308. The Sandman's are nice too and a good choice if the weight doesn't hold you back or you want full-auto and SBR use. |

I'd look at the Sig srd762. I shot one Saturday (along with my 556) and it was super quiet. Plus the QD system is nice. Even if it comes unscrewed it can't come unscrewed enough to cause a baffle strike.

It's not on your list but for your setup I'd look at Suppressed Armament Systems and go with either their Reaper or Arbiter suppressor.

If you're looking at precision rifles/low rates of fire, then I don't think there's a better option than Thunderbeast Ultras. I have the Ultra 7 for my 6.5 creedmoor AR-10 and it's awesome. Very light weight, sounds really nice (even nicer for bystanders than the shooter, probably because of action noise), the only limitation is that it won't take really high rates of fire due to titanium construction that TBAC says should stay <800 degrees.

Absolutely agree. The suppressors and the company building them is unsurpassed, in my book. Shooting a Ultra 9 on a 16" .308 bolt action, with the can off and on, I've had people claim I'm switching to subs just to make the can look good. I let them open their box of GI 7.62, and pick out the rounds -that convinces them. Also, the SAS information on the Arbiter and Reaper (mentioned in a previous post) lists exactly the same 800 degree max temperature requirement. |

But I've also got a Sandman-S in the works. There's so many fantastic choices out there, you really can't go wrong with just about anything. |

You didn't screw up. You bought 8 great cans. I will say that I don't have a 22 can yet, and damn the mask is tempting. But it was designed by the guy than ran SiCo and destined a bunch of the cans I DO have, so maybe I am a Team Pappas guy rather than a SiCo guy. Lol |

Size, weight, sound, durability, and price are just great with the Omega. |

I just have two .30 cal. cans. YHM 7.62 Phantom quick detach and a Sandman S. Host is a savage hog hunter .308. Groups went from 2.5-3 inch with the Phantom to 1 inch with the Sandman (same load, same day). Sandman mount is much better for lockup than the YHM mount.
Sandman is 20 oz with mount and I put it on my 5.56 SBR also for double duty. At this point I would buy Sandman S cans all day. Cant speak for the other ones though. |

Unfortunately, we have to wait months or even years to get a can. User serviceable is great if you plan to sometimes use a 22 conversion or shoot cast. For the people stating that it causes a weak point, in Griffin's video they are lighting off a 240 with it on the end. That is far more of a beating than 99.9% of the users would ever be able to give it. I think it's a non issue. I believe the reason it's not recommended more is that no one really has one in the wild yet. It's hard to recommend something when you have no real experience with it. |

The size, weight and suppression of this suppressor have impressed the hell out of me! I feel for my first .30 caliber can, I have zero regrets. Now if my first .22 suppressor , the dead air mask would get approved and in hand, I'll be content...for a little while. ; ) Good luck with whatever decision you make!
