suppressor for. 220 swift

Longranger

Hi lads, just wondering as I've hopefully got a swift on the way and I'm looking at suppressors. I'm wondering what's the best at both ends of the scale, ie not too crazy money at one end and best there is at the other. Any ideas?
Cheers

I use the Ase ultra jet-z CQB on my swift. It's in .223 caliber as that was my previous rifle but does the job just as good. Bit on the heavy side as it's solid steel but definitely worth the money. http://www.aseutra.fi/jet-z-compact-suppressor#

Use a reflex t8 on my swift and find it reduces the report very well. There are others that would prob be lighter and last longer but the reflex will do the job for me.

Here are a few mods and average prices. They do depend on where you buy them obviously.

• Ase Utra S5/Jet-Z = €380
• T8 = €270
• Wildcat Predator = €295
• ATec Maxim = €300

I have/had all four of them. I've given some observations based on usage and the rifles they were used on below.



An Ase Utra S5 on a .308 & .243

• Great mod, great results with little to no difference in POI out to 300yds with it on or off.
• Easy enough to clean.
• Best sound reduction.
• Heavy on the end of the barrel.
• More expensive than most other mods.
• Tough wearing and will last as long as the owner if treated right.

T8 on 30-06 and .243

• Good on the .243 and 30-06, but difference in POI with mod on was 7" at 200yds.
• Prone to rusting.
• No more difficult to clean than an Ase, etc.
• Screws down over barrel so reducing excess weight on the end of the rifle.
• Has a resonance when fired.
• Cheapest of the current available stock of mods.
• Lighter than the Ase.

Wildcat on .223

• Great mod, and very little in difference in POI with in on or off.
• Lighter than the Ase and ( i think) the T8.
• Screw down over the barrel for reduced weight.
• Completely comes apart for easy cleaning.
• Baffles can be changed allowing the mod to be used on a .223 up to .30cal wth new inners.
• Polymer housing gives no resonance.
• Cheaper than Ase, but a little more expensive than T8.

A-Tec Maxim on .243

• Lightweight
• Good sound suppression
• Reflex
• Cheaper than most other makes at around €300
• Comes apart for easy cleaning
• Small change in POI with mod on to off.

which one would you chose cass

For what the OP wants? The T8. It's the cheapest, and pretty much the quietest. It has it's cons, but so do the rest. After that the A-Tec. Then Wildcat, then Ase.

This is based on cost and performance in that order. So while the Ase, imo, would be better than the Wildcat/A-Tec the price is simply too high to justify another €80 - €100. Plus it being a muzzle mounted mod the extra weight is a big factor. The others are the same weight or slightly lighter but as reflex the balance is better.

thanks cass iv the atec maxium 6 so was just wondering how it compares to the rest.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going with the t8 cos my dealer will give me one for a VERY good price seeing as I'm also buying a scope with the rifle. All down to the super now!
