Suppressor Host

I'm thinking of building a bolt rifle for a .30 caliber suppressor. I have both Remington and Savage actions that I can use. My first thoughts are to chamber it in 300 Whisper with a 16" barrel. The stock will be a Bell & Carlson (that is what I sell).

What are your ideas or suggestion for this build?

get eddybo to ream you a barrel in 30-338 lapua = )

That wouldnt be to quiet there RIck.

I'm not sure that the 30-338 Lapua would be subsonic.

Lol it will be at about 2000 yards!

my cousin has a .338 with a suppressor. it's quiet sweet.

If your looking for a blackout here is one already setup and ready to go.

I've been wanting a 300 BlkOut/Whisper. Keep us updated on the build.

BTW if you plan to build one, be sure to get a 300 blackout. Not 300 whisper. The 300 AAC Blacout is the SAMMI standard. This way you know all the rapidly expanding commercial ammo will work and not have any safety issues.

I am a supporter of jd jones even if his cartridges are a total PITA to make

You can buy 300 whisper brass now....

i mean really i know JD Jones likes you to use 221 fireball brass but plenty of people just chop down 223 and roll on, or if your real anal you can do a inside neck ream on it.

I have been researching the 300 AAC Blackout and it does seem the better choice than the 300 Whisper. A few of the major manufactures are making the 300 AAC Blackout in bolt guns, but they have 20” barrels which will be too long by the time the suppressor is added. I do want to keep the rounds subsonic so the longer barrel has no advantage.

I have ran into one problem…..the bolt face on both my actions is the wrong size for the 300 BLK.

You need a 223 action. Of course if you have a spare AR just order a barrel and your done. Mags and bolts are the same.
