I’m trying to find a good option for a thread on .30 caliber can. It would be for .308 and .300 BLK, but having the ability to shoot 300 Win Mag would be nice. I’ve looked at a few, but maybe you guys have some options that I haven’t considered.
My considerations in order of priority: Size: length, weight Durability Manufacturer: reputation and customer service Noise reduction: good cans should sound about the same Price: Buying the right can the first time is money well spent. I don’t care if I spend a little more to get the right can. Options include (in no particular order): Thunder Beast 30P-1 Gemtech HVT AAC Cyclone Liberty Victory or Freedom What else is out there? |

I own an AAC cyclone. For the price it is outstanding and ranks near the top in suppression. It is all steel though and a bit heavier. If you have a few hundred more to spend, and lighter weight is a big concern, choose the thunderbeast. I'm with Glock63. I own an AAC Cyclone, and it's amazing how quiet it is. 100% hearing safe on my 26" .308, quieter than a .22. Not by much, but still quieter. |

During lunch, I picked up the Form 4's from my transfer dealer for my Cyclone that I purchased during Silencer Shop's "Christmas in May" sale. 
It's going to be a long wait... |

Lightest out there, but after using a steel HVT I'd have concerns about POI shift and accuracy issues. Quoted:

How about the Gemtech Sandstorm? Lightest out there, but after using a steel HVT I'd have concerns about POI shift and accuracy issues. My bolt gun is a bit more accurate with the Sandstorm than without. With my gas gun, it seems to be a toss up. POI shift is consistent when mounting the can. Overall I've been very pleased. I've gone with a different quick detach can for my gas gun, but for a bolt rifle, the Sandstorm has worked very well for me. I'd strongly consider TBAC as well. |

If a user is just going to put the can on there and leave it, will they overcome most of these issues? |

It will depend on the rifle, some rifles the can improved accuracy, others it turned from 1/2" guns to 1 1/2" guns. POI shift on my SCAR 17 was about 6" at 25 yds. |

I asked this exact question to the guys at The Silencer Shop here in Austin, TX when i went in to purchase my SilencerCo Saker about a month ago. The response was quick and to the point. Thunder Beast. I've been leaning very heavily toward the Thunder Beast. I seems that its the hot ticket on the precision boards. |
