Suppressors Area 419 or ASR for Omega lite barrel setup?

[cmrizzo]

I have a 7-08 Tikka lite (roughly #2 barrel) I want to run my Omega on. Any pros to one or the other? The 419 weighs twice what the ASR does. Am I wrong thinking I'd have less POI shift with the 419 over the ASR since I'd be removing 5 oz of brake before adding the can. Or does it really make a difference with that lite of a barrel?

Who has run supressors on lite barrels and what would you suggest? Looking for advice before I get the barrel threaded.

Should I post this elsewhere?

Chances are your going to have a POI shift regardless either way due to light contour barrel. If it was mine and I was only going to shoot it with the Omega, I would get a direct thread mount for it.

It will be used both with and without the Omega, just looking for suggestions. I figured I'd see a POI shift, just was not sure which setup to go with if one would be better than the other. Thanks for the reply

Does a #2 have enough meet to support a can or brake? I think the silencerco 5/8x24 spec calls for a .720 shoulder to butt against.

That's why I have to use a brake to support a can. I only have .635 at muzzle, so 1\2-28 brake is required.

Why not direct thread?

I use an Omega on my T3 Lite .243, no issues. I would not want a brake on a non-magnum hunting rifle anyway.

I guess that's an option. Was not sure there would be enough shoulder for direct mount. This is my only non magnum bolt gun, so I guess I'm used to running a brake. Thanks for the input, I knew someone had to be running something similar.

Yes I'd run 1/2 and then use an adapter to 5/8. The entire omega is significantly lighter this way and shorter.

1/2-28 threads and a 1/2-28 direct thread mount for the Omega. No need to worry about stepping it up to 5/8-24.
