Interesting post. I've been considering suppressing my 84L Montana. I didn't want to cut the barrel. Initial thoughts were to place a light Harvester on it.
If my goal is a light suppressor with minimal barrel cutting, what suppressor would you suggest?
There are quite a few goods ones out there these days, such as the Silencerco Omega and Thunderbeast Ultra 7, which fall into that ~7" and 11-14 ounce range. I've heard the Harvester has had some issues with the aluminum tube longevity with high pressure rounds, as well as the potential to dent up the tube from a fall or what have you, potentially dislodging the baffles.
In my eyes, the threaded barrel and suppressor combo is great for a rifle used in a lot of hunting scenarios, but not on a rifle being strapped to my pack and beat around the mountains.
I haven't had an issue. Loctite the can on and use a suppressor cover, that way the can stays put and has protection.....it's much less of an issue to worry about than the scope.
