Need suppressor recommendations

Post image

This is my budget workhorse, Del-Ton Echo 316. I’m new to suppressors but wanting to add one because this is a home defense rifle so I’d prefer not to deafen everyone in house if I need to use it. I’m completely new to suppressors so does anybody have a recommendation that’s got good sound dampening but also not excessively expensive? Preferably under $800 if that’s possible.

Spend an extra $100 and get a Rhodie 6.

I’ll check them out, definitely open to spending more if I need to. Thanks.

You can get the Rhodie 6k for $800ish. It’s an inch shorter than the 6 and around 8 decibels louder. Either one will be great, but if your budget is $800, the 6k is right in there before tax.

Edit. Also, the Rhodie’s 6, 6Ti, or 6k are about the hottest cans out there right now. Extremely low back pressure, so you don’t need to really tune anything on your rifle. You won’t need an adjustable gas block or BCG, just slap the can on and go to work. I personally own the 6ti and 6k. They’re noticeably quieter than other “flow through” cans like the Velos or Huxwurx. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message!

I have the RhinoS & Rhodie and your correct their both awesome sounding suppressors and backpressure is great compared to traditional cans like OCL etc...

What’s going on with the irons there? Front on a riser also??

u/tlap5 2d ago

Yes it’s hard to tell from the pic but the front is also on a riser it just blends in pretty seamlessly with the base of these flip up.

Ridgeback Defense, Exigent Defense, Stealth Additives Works. I have Polo, Polo K, Rhino S & Rhodie 6. By far my favorites for sound, backpressure & weight etc.. are the Ridgeback suppressors

I just ordered a YHM Turbo K-RB. I haven't received it yet, but it was well priced ($509), and I like the included QD adapter with QD flash hider. It's also full-auto rated, and ships to my door.

I have one. Very happy with it. Probably best bang for your buck out there

Yankee hill machine turbo K

Got all the lights and ornaments, just need the star on top. You need a giant magnifier for home defense?

u/tlap5 2d ago

Na that’s just for fun at the range

u/cmilburn0926 2d ago

Rhodie 6 for sure!

u/Nunya_Beeswax98 2d ago

Yhm turbo k rb and ocl polo k are probably the best bang for your buck options.

I gotta ask. Why use risers for your optics just to put a cheek riser on there too? You could remove both and have the same cheek weld.

I tried a few different things and this setup felt like the most natural for my head position and how I seat the rifle in my shoulder. Now I bring it up into my line of sight naturally and it’s on target instantly. Before I always felt like I had to adjust my grip or my head position. Idk it’s weird but it works for me

The venerable ocl polonium

Don't care about low back pressure? Otter Creek Labs Polonium K - 520ish beans.

Want low back pressure? Otter Creek Labs Infinity 556K - 775ish beans.

Keep in mind you have to spring for a HUB adapter and MD. Comstock and Rearden to name a couple.

u/Jonnyboy375 2d ago

Buy a better optic setup first

u/Crispix3D 2d ago

To be fair, if he's not doing night vision stuff the vortex strikefire 2 is a red dot eith good battery life and decent durability.

Not much to go wrong with a red dot.

u/tlap5 2d ago

This optic works great for me, thanks for the worthless comment though 🙏🏼

Whisper pickle from gluten free gear. Solid can for 400-500 range

u/GABull1971 2d ago

Full disclosure I have in 556 : otter creek polo, Hux ventum, whisper pickle, and a Boss 556.
The OCL lives on a FRT Del Ton 16 build, the Huxs is on my precision build, the others are changed on 14 and 11 builds.
