I have post this before, but like so many others, I had to learn this lesson the hard way...Things to consider! Got it!
As for price, I see a wide range. Are suppressors a "You get what you pay for" commodity?

Actually you can do both - I appreciate your servant heart putting your daughter first and thank you for your service to democracy being a teacher. I use a 30 cal titanium on a gas gun 223 and on larger caliber. My bolt guns are not threaded —yet. You can get a good 30 cal and use on both until you can save up to buy the other. The 30 will not likely be as quiet but it is noticeable difference.Things to consider! Got it!
As for price, I see a wide range. Are suppressors a "You get what you pay for" commodity? I realise a lot of the prices have to do with material [titanium (lighter weight) will be more expensive that steel], but what else makes one worth $3,000 vs. $800? I'm on a teacher's salary in this post-plandemic economy, so I'm looking for quality, but not necessarily a "Wilson Custom".
I think I'm leaning toward two different cans now. The gas gun is my teen daughter's deer rifle, so that'll probably be the first. Then after another year of saving (I'm at that stage in life where I buy my own birthday presents ), I'll get one for me and my 7RM.
Thanks again!
One silencer will work for both, but a 7RM will be MUCH better suited to a full-sized can with a .30 bore (Enticer L, Lithium or TBAC 9", et al) whereas the 6ARC has a few purpose-built options that are smaller and better suited. From the sounds of it, 6 ARC in a gas gun probably benefits from a flow-thru can, but those are very expensive and will sound terrible with the magnum. An adjustable gas block will likely get you most of the way there if you can only go with one option.I'm not in the suppressor game yet, but seriously considering it and I have some questions:
1) Is it okay to have one suppressor for use on a bolt gun and for a gas gun? Are suppressors even designed for those considerations?
2) I'd like to suppress my 7mmRM bolt action hunting rifle and my 6mmARC gas gun. Will one suppressor work for both?
3) I hand load all of my ammo. I've read that a suppressor will cause more pressure and fouling in gas guns. Will I need to reduce my loads when running the suppressor, or will closing my gas block a bit more do the trick?
That's about it for now, but as the conversation progresses, I'm sure more will come up. Thanks in advance.
I forgot to mention, I've looked online, but I'm tired of everyone just telling me why THEIR's is the best and why I should buy it. I want to know long term effects on my rifles. I'm not even looking at make and model yet.
I have a TBAC Ultra 9 that I have installed on a 300BO bolt action, and it is insanely quiet. I can clap my hands which will be MUCH louder than the report of my BO.is a thread on the forum about suppressors and magnum hunting rifles that you might want to read. I've got 6 suppressor used in a variety of different applications. My 7 PRC only has a suppressor because it shoots a little better with it on. In general I think I have gotten the most benefits from ,308 and down in size. Putting one on a 300 BO or .22 is nothing but fun.
