SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[Q_Sertorius]

The SilencerCo line is that the maximum rate of fire for the Scythe is 10 RPM with factory ammunition and all failures are due to user abuse.

I'm tempted to toss mine on my 22" 300 PRC after the season and use it until it goes. It's been solid on my 6.5 Creed and 6 ARC so far, but who knows how long it'll last.

That group buy on the Unknown Suppressors is tempting - I'd swap my Scythe out for a US Reaper or the Airlock in a heart beat.

I head up after deer on a seven day backpack hunt in a couple days. Won’t have my new cans in time and with my luck it will “poof” on the one shot I get. How has point of impact been with the failure shots?

Reportedly fine.

Exactly.

It would be interesting to film another failure in real time (I know there was already one posted in here several pages back). Shoot well under the accepted rate of fire and show it failing with factory ammo. Might get SiCo's attention, although I don't think much came from the other documented failure.

A restriction they don't publish (claim its in the manual which you said you couldn't find and definitely not an advertised prior to purchase restriction) and one they slander their users with claiming (with zero proof) it has been exceeded... CLASSY.

Correct.

I was two shots into a 3 round group at 100. Two holes touching. I think the bullet is long gone by the time the can blew up

If I had a high speed camera and someone with a short 300 RUM I'd love to catch mine coming apart in slow motion.

Well at least that’s good to know. Thanks

I had that same thought. Seems like alot of these cans are failing. Might try snd see if they will send my the Scythe STM instead of another TI

They offered me an STM, however I declined since I didn't want to wait for ATF due to proximity to hunting season.

So they just repaired your TI and sent back?

 

[ThreeOhSeven]

Yes, they were willing to repair or replace. Replacing, with a new serial number, will put it back in jail.

I kinda figured that. I bought the can back in June form 4 was approved in 48 hours. If they haul ass I could get one in time to hunt

Interesting - I hadn't heard of SiCo offering to replace with the STM. Nice option, but the whole point of going with the Scythe Ti was the weight savings over steel.

I think the STM in short config only weighs three ounces more. Id rather my can not explode again lol

Fair point! haha

Unless the shutdown drags on.

 

[Jbehredt]

Whenf mine goes I’ll gladly take the STM replacement. Unless the repair evolves into a lasting one.

Haven't read all 56 pages, so let me know if this has already ben asked, but....has anyone tried to return their scythe to SilencerCo or their dealer? Lifetime warrantee means that if one wanted too they could just shoot until failure, get it fixed, and repeat forever. So if they accepted a return it would actually save them money.

Obviously you would have to eat the $200 tax stamp, but at this point i would be happy to do that if it meant i could get rid of this lemon of a can.
