So I have decided to get a suppressor. My issue is I can only afford one but would like to use it with my 5.56mm, 6.8 spec II, and my 300BLK. Which supressor would do the best while staying short and light. I understand that there is no one trick pony when it comes to suppressors. It will stay on the 300BLK most of the time but I would like to use it on my other uppers occasionally.
The Silencerco Omega looks to be the ticket. It’s short, light, and modular. I’ve got a few more months before mine comes home from jail and I can’t wait
Silencerco seems to have the best option right now with the omega. I run a 762SDN6 and I’m very happy with it though. If I were buying today I would get the omega.

YHM LT or ULT for those hosts.
This is where I’m at. Paperwork in on an 762Sdn6 as well, for my 5.56, Argentine Mauser, and eventually a 6.8. The versatility of the sdn6 coupled with the sale price I paid ($640) meant i couldn’t pass it up.
“The one” from gemtech.
Same as their other quick mounts just need a muzzlw device.
Um, any QD 30 cal can fits the bill for what you asked.
As has been said above, any quality .30 caliber suppressor with a QD mount will work.
That said, if I were looking to buy a single, do-all suppressor, I think the borderline-objective choice is a Silencerco Saker 762. Not only is it super durable and rated for all the calibers you want, but it also has exchangeable QD mounts so you can use it on almost any host, even if the muzzle device is from another manufacturer.
I’m a Surefire fanboy, but when you need one single suppressor to do everything with maximum flexibility, the Saker 762 is a no brainer. Nothing else can be used on so many things. It’s also just a great suppressor in its own right.
Another Vote for the Saker 7.62, so far I have only shot mine with 5.56 .223 and 300 sub and supers. The Trifecta mount is amazing, nice tight and stable lockup. Also like that you can get a bit of a db reduction by changing out the Saker 7.62 endcap to a 5.56 one. I did look at the Omega but for a tiny bit more $ there is the Saker and I have seen the Saker go on sale from time to time and cost around the same as the Omega
I’m not a big believer in 1 can for everything, I think it’s a foolish way to go about things… But if I was limited to 1 can, I’d take a Surefire SOCOM 762 mini.
I tend to agree with this. One can is really limiting yourself, its like owning one gun. That being said, if I could only own one rifle can, it would be the SOCOM 762 Mini. Its not the lightest, not the quietest, but IMO it has the best mounting system, its a good size, and its plenty quiet for me.
Bringing this back up, as I am also looking for something similar.
Looking for more information on this! Anyone using the 300SPS? I am interested in using one suppressor for 243 bolt gun and 5.56 right now with a possibility of more in the future. What are the other options? Would the SOCOM 6.8 be better for the 243 and down to the 5.56? Looks like surefire is not making the 6.8 SOCOM in the Gen 2 Looking for end mount interoperability among the weapons.

While I technically agree that it’s better to have a dedicated can for whatever caliber you intend to shoot, not everyone has the disposable income to spend on multiple cans for each firearm. A one can solution makes sense for a lot of guys until they can afford to buy more. I’m sure more people would do this if cans didn’t cost between $500 - $1500 a pop, not to mention the NFA hurdle and wait times.
OP, I finally broke down and purchased a Saker 7.62 last year after years of convincing myself that I didn’t need one. It currently serves three hosts chambered in 5.56, .300 BLK and .308/7.62. After looking at all the options available out there and comparing features and price points, I always kept coming back to the Saker and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I’m already saving up for the next one. Good luck and let us know what you decide.
I am taking a one-can approach. Multiple cans is a luxury I can worry about after I have some more important priorities taken care of, like getting all set up with a PVS-14 and clip-on NV for the scoped setups. For now, one can with QD muzzle devices on all my rifles adds as much capability as possible for the money. I went with the Silencerco Omega… it just came in over the weekend. It will be used on 5.56, .300 AAC, 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 7.62x51 rifles. It was the best combination of light weight, small size, multiple caliber versatility, and price that I could find when I bought it last year.
Yes, dedicated, or semi-dedicated cans are better. And Yes, for most people, a sensible multicaliber can is pretty legit.
The Omega seems to be a fairly solid “one can”. The Hybrid imo is not. The Saker seems good, but I’d be concerned with SiCo walking away from the non-ASR muzzle brake (god I hate their overlapping acronyms for things, I’m not sure anyone knows exactly what a trifecta is). I don’t think you can really go wrong with any of these. I like Surefires. Haven’t really looked into the DeadAir or Rugged rifle cans, but all said, the SiCo ecosystem does allow for the largest selection of cans with the same mount.
I think the mistake is that NFA can ever be a poor man’s game, and a place you can “save money”. 
The SiCo Hybrid and the Griffin Optimus do intrigue me, I agree that they may not be the best serious use can, but for many of us who cant afford 3 or more cans plus stamps they are a viable option.
I considered this as well, but I’m hanging on to the Trifecta mounts I’m currently invested in. Even if SiCo drops the Trifecta mounting system in order to get after a more unified mounting approach in their line-up, I’ll have to consider it before swapping out everything for the ASR. I see no real benefit of changing unless I plan to buy more ASR equipped cans.
Do you own any other cans?
I think you need to prioritize your needs based on suppression, weight, blowback, durability, mounting solutions, etc… and then make the choice that best aligns with your needs. There is a ton of data here on how to prioritize your needs and from there go do research.
The problem with asking a forum what can to buy is most people only have one 30 cal can so they will generally tell you to buy the one they own. If you can go to a suppressor shoot hosted by a local dealer this would be a huge help in getting a good feel for the state of 30 cal cans at the moment.
I went with the Omega personally. I use it on 300blk and 5.56 and really enjoy it. I don’t think you’d go wrong with most of the choices given to you in this thread.
You may want to wait and see how the Griffin Armament Alpha pans out. Looks like a taper mount 30cal can with interchangable end caps. And it is user serviceable.
