Your issue is twofold.
First, and most important, can your barrel handle the weight of the suppressor. You'll not know how accuracy is affected until after, unless someone has the exact setup. Second, shouldering a muzzle device. This isn't that big a deal. You can shoulder off the muzzle, provided what you're attaching allows this. You can use a QD muzzle device, provided enough material to shoulder. Or, you can cut smaller threads and make an adapter to the larger, with a larger shoulder. For my kids' Rascal rifles, I went w/ the third option. 3/8-20 on barrel and 1/2-28 on adapter w/ larger shoulder, Rocksett to muzzle threads. Not my pic, but same idea.

Using a thread adapter will solve the threading problem, but the bigger issue as pointed out, will be the thin profile of the barrel, and this is going to cause not only major barrel harmonics problems, but a major shift in POI as well.
Secondly, a can only helps to resolve the Boom muzzle report, but does not reduce the sonic crack of the bullet traveling super sonic speeds as it leave the can and travels down range. Since this is a savage rig that allows for a barrel replacement easily, would suggest that you look for a thicker profile barrel to run the can on instead. Here your not chancing the can getting off bore line axis to end up with a baffle strike, and less problems with barrel harmonics/ poi shifts instead. |

I've thought about getting a new barrel, and figured that would be the way to go. Just trying to explore all the possibilities here. My problem has been that I figured if I get a new barrel I might as well get a Creedmoor or something easier to shoot besides a WSM. But it seems the large shank receivers are Savage's redheaded stepchildren, and really up the cost on a barrel. |
