SilencerCo Goes Titanium with New Scythe Can
SilencerCo juat week debuted the company’s first all-titanium suppressor, the ultra-lightweight Scythe-Ti.
The .30 caliber Scythe is ideal for those looking to save weight on their rifle or carbine setup while still looking to greatly tame some muzzle bark. Rated to handle everything from .223/5.56 NATO to .300 RUM, it has no barrel length restrictions. The biggest selling point, garnered from its Grade 5 and Grade 9 titanium materials, is the weight of just 7.3 ounces with the new single-point anchor brake installed.
To get a feel for just how light that is, it’s about the same as an adult hamster, a cup of sugar, or a roll of nickels.
The Scythe is 6.16 inches long and looks unlike the rest of SiCo’s catalog, sporting a distinctive Type 2 anodizing with an oil-rubbed finish. The weld lines tend to darken while it heats up. The diameter is 1.73 inches. Note the single-point anchor brake end cap, which we really noted helps cut down on recoil. (All photos: Chris Eger)
I got to try out the Scythe at the company’s first annual “Chubbs Peterson Memorial Rifle Golf Tournament,” last week in Utah, getting a feel for the new suppressor on several different builds at ranges from 50 to 1,100 yards.
For backcountry or PRS guys looking to save every ounce possible, the Scythe could be a good fit.
