New: SilencerCo Scythe All-Titanium 30 Cal Suppressor
SilencerCo this 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/Guns.com)

We got a chance to tour SilencerCo's facility and saw the Scythe under construction. The weight savings you get from titanium is real, with the can's 5/8x24 direct thread mount, seen here before anodizing, feeling almost weightless in the hand. The Scythe is also compatible with the company's ASR mount.
An all-welded "sealed" can, this is about as far as the user can disassemble the Scythe. SiCo recommends against using unjacketed lead projectiles. We asked a company engineer about lifespan, and he stressed that he would be surprised if someone was able to shoot one of these suppressors out as they have several test cans with tens of thousands of rounds sent through them. Even if they do wear one out, it is covered by a lifetime warranty and constructed so that the serialized base can be removed, and a new suppressor be rebuilt around it.
Guns.com got to try out the Scythe at the company's first annual "Chubbs Peterson Memorial Rifle Golf Tournament," this week in Utah, getting a feel for the new suppressor on several different builds at ranges from 50 to 1,100 yards.
Such as this BOTW Custom bolt gun.
And this low light optimized .300 BLK which, with a Steiner OTAL and Trijicon MRO, makes a good dark thirty hog buster.
A 7-ounce can makes a good fit for something like a Q Fix.
For backcountry or PRS guys looking to save every ounce possible, the Scythe could be a good fit.
The dB readings offered by SiCo with the Scythe, showing it can still get seriously decent sound reduction despite its size.
The MSRP on the SiCo Scythe is an oddly specific $1,174 and is now shipping.
