Awesome video! I really appreciate the comparisons and attention to detail.

[@RangeToyz]

Thanks! I wanted to hear the differences myself, if there was any, and I’m happy to share everything.

[@RangeToyz]

Are you planning on getting one or another?

[@williamboggs1682]

Thanks so much looking forward to seeing that

[@MW-bi1pi]

What first amazed me about the Omega on a 20" .308 was it was quieter than a 22 LR supersonic. It is really amazing.

[@RangeToyz]

I did a side-by-side with my Thunderbeast Ultra 9 .264 bore on my Sig Cross 6.5 versus my Bergara B14R 18” 22LR and it really did sound the same! I think maybe the sonic crack on the 6.5 Creedmoor was a tiny bit louder because of pressures of a heavier bullet, but I’m not sure. 22LR really has all the bang gone by time it reaches the end of the barrel and is only giving out sonic crack. It’s amazing what good silencers can do.

[@J_D_Rambro]

Kool video, I have the cross .308 as well I put the EVO on it via direct thread....amazing!

[@RangeToyz]

Thanks! I bet that EVO sounds great and the price is right!

[@J_D_Rambro]

It's awesome, the gf and I were running the omega 36m, hybrid 46 and that omega 300, evo is like not having anything on the barrel ....now let your imagination go to the evo on the new .308 sig cross trax ...it is crazy light-weight, luv that gun can't wait for the season to open!!!!!! @@RangeToyz

[@caseysmith8831]

I ve been pondering this exact question

[@RangeToyz]

Glad to help! What’s your thoughts now?

[@justins7241]

Keep it up, brother!

[@RangeToyz]

Thanks! More suppressor difference videos coming soon…

[@brassvulcher8207]

the ACSS HUD is a scary reticle! most people have no idea how dominant it really is

[@RangeToyz]

Now that I have a Tactacam, I need to get back to the 435 yard quarry I’ve been to before or even further to show the ACSS HUD reticle and it’s capabilities for sure! I want to bring this Cross 308 with the ACSS HUD DMR 3-18, Remington 700 SPS Tactical 16” 308 with 6-24 ACSS HUD DMR and my Adams Arms P2 308 with 6-24 ACSS HUD DMR

[@williamboggs1682]

How do you like the anchor break on the omega

[@RangeToyz]

When it was on my PTR 91, I used it for quite awhile. The gun is so heavy though with a bipod, I decided to get the Bravo front cap. There wasn’t too much change in recoil and I really enjoy the shorter length. I’m using the Omega 300 on the Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39 right now and like the short Bravo front cap more than any felt recoil reduction with the Anchor brake. Shooting prone on the lightweight 308 Cross, it did help to not have the scope hit my hat from recoil when firing. I’m definitely keeping that single port anchor brake on the Scythe because it’s so short. I think it does a little something for recoil and it’s actually lighter weight than the Bravo flat cap.

[@johnnyshilohshepherds4127]

Awesome comparison. Id be interested to see how the scythe ti compared to the nomad ti and enticer s ti. Or any other titanium ~30cal cans in a similar size range

[@RangeToyz]

Thanks! I just looked at Pew Science and the Enticer S Ti is rated barely better than the Nomad Ti. Might not be able to hear the difference or notice the back pressure difference. The Scythe isn’t on there yet, but I’m curious too. You can see other ones as well in the big list. It’s longer with the most recent reviews.

[@Keep_It_Loaded]

Nice! Good choice in comparison! Is the biggest difference lighter and shorter?

[@RangeToyz]

The Scythe with single port anchor brake is about the same size as the Omega 300 with Bravo front cap when they both are direct thread, but the Scythe is almost half the weight. The Scythe is best for a light firing schedule. It gets hot quick and you might’ve seen the mirage in the Tactacam, but cools down quick.

[@RangeToyz]

I’ll be running my Omega 300 binary on my PWS MK109 MOD2-M 300 blackout and I think it will handle it just fine. I won’t dump more than two mags at once with supersonic ammo, to make sure I won’t bubble or discolor the paint.

[@RangeToyz]

I think they really sound the same

[@Keep_It_Loaded]

@@RangeToyz yeah I was thinking the same about suppression level sounding similar

[@RangeToyz]

@@Keep_It_Loaded the price of the base model of the Omega 300 is great, especially when I have a spare ASR mount to use with it.

[@trunkmonkey56]

My scythe TI was approved in 2 months time and I'm going to run it on a 9" 300 BLK Virtus shooting mostly subs with an occasional mag of supers. I've heard it sounds great with 300blk subs. Watching your video, it was hard to tell any difference between the standard omega 300 which I also have. The Omega 300 has also been goldilocks for sound, weight, and durability on many gas guns for me for many years

[@RangeToyz]

Right on! Yeah, all three cans, including the Chimera, have Omega baffles, so I think the sound and back pressure are basically the same. If you’re going mellow with supers on your 300 blackout, you’ve got a ssh feather on the end of your gun ;)

[@RangeToyz]

I’ve got the original Saker 7.62 on my 300 blackout right now. The Omega 300 is shorter, lighter and quieter. I’ve got a binary trigger in it as well, but I think I’ll be dumping one or two mags at once :)

[@trunkmonkey56]

@@RangeToyz just picked up an SP5 as well, and I think I need a binary for that. Been watching tons of your videos, so thanks for that. I believe I'm just up north of you in the big city 😂

[@williamboggs1682]

I love the longer video would love to see some more like this and if you can compare the 9k vs 45k seems the 9k is way more popular how does the 45k do with 9mm and 300blk

[@RangeToyz]

I appreciate that suggestion! I’ll see if I have the mounts I need and will try to do it soon :)

[@RangeToyz]

I’m thinking of using just this PWS MK109 MOD2-M 9.75” barrel length to save costs on ammo. Does that work for you?

[@RangeToyz]

I just started to make the video with my PWS MOD2-M and the piston broke! I contacted them about a warranty or a fix and I hope they get back to me soon.

[@williamboggs1682]

@@RangeToyzlol dang well I hope they take good care of ya man and I’ll be looking forward to seeing it when it’s ready thanks for always keeping us updated

[@RangeToyz]

@@williamboggs1682I just uploaded the video and I’m waiting to see if it’ll get monetized. I’ll have it for you no matter what pretty soon, maybe a couple days.

[@OsamaBinSmokinTV]

I want a Scythe, but no host in mind. Love my Omega, got it when it first came out and is still pretty quiet.

[@RangeToyz]

SilencerCo’s website shows the decibel difference is less than one decibel on a .308 or 300 blackout and barely more on a 5.55 or 300 win mag. The Omega is a fantastic design. I wouldn’t put mine on the shelf to have a new 3D printed suppressor of equal size.

[@OsamaBinSmokinTV]

@RangeToyz yes and with the Scythe-Ti being made of titanium, larger diameter, and a single 5 port brake, you would think it would be much quieter. But they hit the grand slam with the Omega years ago with its release.

[@yourdad4627]

​@OsamaBinSmokinTV the omega is more versatile, has lower tone and less first round pop than the scythe. The omega will handle semi auto the scythe will not

[@illestdomer2005]

Three oh hate doesn’t have bad recall, he says 🙃 On the American Ranch 7.62x39 subs, the Scythe sounded like it had a shorter blow down. More of a quick pop - maybe the same or close peak “loudness.” If my BOGO Omega 300 ever ships, I want to compare it against my Enticer S!

[@RangeToyz]

Yeah, this PTR91 is probably getting close to 15 pounds, so not much recoil 😉

[@RangeToyz]

I can’t wait for my BOGO as well. Glad you’re a collector of great cans too!

[@johannsen4171]

can it be cleaned at home?

[@RangeToyz]

Really, rifle suppressors don’t need to be cleaned because the pressure of the rounds push out almost all of the carbon and fouling. A little bit of material in your suppressor will cause extra turbulence and actually make it quieter. If you notice with a scale that your suppressor is a few ounces heavier than when you got it, and that could be after thousands of rounds, there are some special solutions you can use. Breakthrough Clean Technology Suppressor Cleaner and HUXWRX Suppressor Sauce are two that I’ve heard of. They are both two-part solutions that you let your suppressor soak in. I wouldn’t use an ultrasonic cleaner, just these methods I spoke of because an ultrasonic cleaner will ruin the finish on the outside of your suppressor maybe not the first time, but definitely after two or three times.

[@RangeToyz]

I’ve never cleaned any of my rifle suppressors, but I did clean my Octane 9 suppressor because I ran a bunch of 22LR through it. I also have to clean my MP5SD suppressor with it’s aluminum K baffles so the don’t get stuck in the tube and the suppressor doesn’t get stuck on the gun. I use welding anti spatter spray for it and try to do it every 300-500 rounds. 22 suppressors are the filthiest with its leaded ammo that’s sometimes waxed plus the carbon deposits.

[@fnjay24]

Day 252 waiting for mine😂😂 but since they aren't going to be making the 300 anymore im glad I got one on the bogo deal

[@RangeToyz]

Right on! I’ve got a pending BOGO 300 that still hasn’t shipped to my dealer either. I’m probably the last one in line because my FFL had to resubmit their paperwork because it expired during the processing.

[@fnjay24]

@RangeToyz totally up to you lol but what are your first 3 numbers for the bogo because I feel like im in last place lol. I'm in the 141 batch and I think they forgot about me 🤣

[@RangeToyz]

@@fnjay24 140 actually. So you’re saying, I might get mine quicker than you? Doesn’t help us that they had to recall some for bad welds and they’re still producing Omega 300’s for the normal marketplace. I know they’re working hard to produce them though and glad they’re being transparent.

[@fnjay24]

@RangeToyz last time I'll bug you but yup you'll get yours way before me. I couldn't agree more like I get it theynhave a business to run but send the bogo out first then send to shops. Please post when you get at your dealer 🙏🏼
