Nomad Ti vs LTi for elk rifle

[bultinkle]

I'm very happy with my Lti but I don't think you can go wrong here.

Cans themselves are magical, but the different between competing ones is over worried imo

@HunterWang, I think I just decided to go DA Nomad LTI, the new one. Don't want to cut shoulders into barrels or buy a handful of muzzle devices. Have a reminder notice for when it is in stock.


Also NEEEEEEEEEEED the Rugged Oculus!! Two reasons - 1. We have a herd of vermin out back and the neighbors Lab is devout in patrolling. She jumped them and they fought back, tearing her up pretty bad. Conibears deployed, worried about the cats in the hood though. A quiet .22 might do better and more discrete work. 2. the feeders at the farm are inundated by coons! We have created a super race - they have learned to climb on each others backs - and one has somehow learned how to JUMP and latch on the the spinner!! Had 16 in one cam pic...

I've got a Nomad L and its very quiet. I am sure the LTi would be as well. If I was buying again today, I'd have a look at the Dilligent Defense Enticer models as well. Pew Silencer Research rates them similarly to the Nomad, but I have seen the Enticer L Ti and S Ti for significantly cheaper than the Dead Air models. Currently seeing under $700 for the Enticer S Ti and under $800 for the Enticer L Ti. My nomad L (not TI) was about that price.

As far as S vs L. Weight difference is negligible. So I would consider the caliber and barrel length you are looking at. Short action 22", could probably do the S and not be damaging your hearing much. Something magnum, I think you'd want the L.

Poor dog haha. Probably not afraid to do it again for her people either.

Shoot me an email [email protected] and let's see if we can't get you both the Nomad and the Oculus in one go, and try to save you some money.

I have a Sparrow and Oculus and like them both. They are about the same in Db to me BUT the Oculus does appear to have less first round pop. I like the modularity of it too.

However, I want to get an Otter Creek Ti as the weight savings is nice. I haven't shot one but have discussed it with others and it supposedly has a good first shot reduced sound too.

Another point I am discovering, is to get a can that is easy to clean, especially on rimfire. It's a creature feature I'm definitely paying attention to more.

People who don't take care of their stuff simply never understand why that even would be a feature. People who really use their stuff know it will only do its work if taken care of; any good tool needs preservation. Feel free to also send over an email and we could help you out.

Great information thanks

@HunterWang, YES, She is all doped up and lays by the back window watching, waiting, and she will... Sweet, tough, but not the sharpest tack.

I truly appreciate that very much - have a buddy who is local FFL/SOT that I go through.

The best ones can't always be the sharpest! Okay I'm glad you're taken care of

Trying to decide between the two. I think I would love the extra suppression and reduced recoil from the LTi. I shoot a Bergara Crest in 7 PRC. Factory specs are 22" with the brake so probably more like 20"-ish if you take it off. I don't hunt thick timber during rifle season so I'm not that worried about having a longer barrel but it's certainly a consideration.

I have shot a friend's 300 WM with the Nomad Ti and it was quite pleasant so I imagine the longer LTi would be even better. Anyone have experience with both? Or have made a similar decision with other silencers?

I have both and it all depends on what you want. Extreme quiet or shorter oal? I can say when you go short barrel it doesn't make much difference in suppressors. Longer barrels is where you notice a difference. I use the nomad ti for hunting and the nomad L ti for target shooting. As someone else mentioned for the price, diligent defense makes a nice can for a lot less and sounds just as quiet as the nomad.

Tell me more about the 6.5 Grendel and affect on the deer, sure it did it's job.

It worked great. 123 Eldm destroyed the lungs. We've killed probably 10+ with it and they usually drop within 50 yards. Great little low recoil round. In a close to 5lb gun I can usually see impact with my suppressor on it. Pretty snappy without, feels like a harder kick than my 12lb creed.
