@Terry Houin what suppressor do you recommend for Barrett MRAD in 300Win? I want to keep the Barrett brake and trying to find the AM30 but no luck.
 
I've been shooting the AM338 on the MRAD Covert in 308 Win and I like it. It is big and designed for the .338 Cals but if its the only one you can find and want to keep the MRAD break its a good bet. Plus it gives you the option of swapping a .338 barrrel for some longer distances in the future.

Learned from Barrett that the AM30 is discontinued so AM338 is only Barrett option. I have SilencerCo as my other choice. Which SilencerCo would you recommend best for Barrett 300Win?
 
I'd probably go with the Scythe STM and run it with all the baffles. The MRAD is already heavy so there's no reason the try and go light weight or short.

This. One of the biggest selling points of the MRAD is the multi- barrel capability. You're only going to lose a small amount of suppression with the bigger opening. If you feel really strongly about a .30 cal can I would get the PTR Vent or the CGS Hyperion. Those are currently #2 and #1 for the highest ranking cans on Pew Science, on a bolt action rifle.
