Rebel SOS cans - snarkscarbine - 01-05-2019
I have a TBAC ultra 5 6.5, an SAS Barricade, SAS Arbiter, and Rebels Hunter(.308) and Alliance(.556) models. Bought the Rebels because I have an SOT and they were cheap.
To test out accuracy I tested the SOS hunter on my 6mm dasher, which shoots in the .2s in a boringly predictable way whether its unsuppressed or has my Barricade or Ultra-5 on it. Some slight changes in poi, but no change in accuracy. I shot several 5-round groups with the Rebel on it and it opened up to 1+. Put the SAS or TBAC back on: .2.
Obviously those are both $900-1000 silencers so Im not expecting a $200 Rebel to perform the same way, but caveat emptor.
The alliance in its OTB configuration has a nasty FRP that pretty much sounds like the rifle is unsuppressed. Found that out the uncomfortable way while hog hunting nearby. Havent tested that one for accuracy.
In conclusion: given any other option I would personally skip the Rebel and buy something better engineered for maybe a hair more money. That being said, if your goal is to shoot 3-5 rounds per year and get your annual whitetail with a little less noise, this might be the ticket.
Rebel SOS cans - Pro-2X - 01-14-2019
I have the SOS Creed and on my 20 barrel it is great, no extreme FRP at all. I just finished my 16 build this weekend and will test at the range next weekend.
