Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome back to TFB’s Silencer Saturday, brought to you by Yankee Hill Machine, manufacturers of the new Victra 20-gauge shotgun suppressor. This week, we have a full review of the Precision Armament TiTrex 300Ti suppressor. It is a high-performance 3D-printed titanium can with an impressive feature set.

Disclosures: Precision Armament provided this suppressor for review.

Overview & Features

The TiTrex 300Ti is a lightweight titanium 30-caliber silencer. This is not the first ever lightweight titanium rifle silencer. In fact, the field has become rather crowded. But what sets the TiTrex apart is the way the design harnesses advanced manufacturing and design processes.

Rather than a traditional stack of uniform baffles, Precision Armament developed a baffle structure where each baffle component changes in size. They call this the Non-Uniform Reconvergent Baffle Stack, or NURBS. 3D printing makes that complicated internal shape possible.

At SHOT Show, they explained some of the testing they did to develop the silencer. One process was filling prototype silencers with fluid, then striking the fluid with a ram repeatedly. Anywhere that cracked as a result of these strikes was redesigned and reinforced to create a much stronger structure without adding tons of weight.

Another cool feature is the way the TiTrex is serialized. A press-fit band called an XRING bears the serial number of the item. Should the silencer body ever be damaged, that ring can be removed by the manufacturer and reinstalled on a fresh core without any cutting or welding. This could also be used to change bore diameters, materials, or simply to move to an updated internal design and refinements are made.

The front and rear caps are both removable and threaded with industry-standard thread pitches. The barrel end has HUB threads, so it is compatible with just about any mounting system you may feel like using. Precision Armament offers direct thread mounts in a variety of common pitches and in either steel or titanium.

Performance

While all of that design stuff is interesting, the real question is how does it shoot? In short: great. Scientific testing from Pew Science rates the TiTrex very highly for suppression on a bolt-action rifle, and my subjective impression from shooting it on several different rifles lines up with that score. I shoot a lot of silencers from many manufacturers and am perpetually trying some review silencer on some review gun. One of the most impactful things about the TiTrex was the first round through it each outing. Without fail, I stopped and thought to myself, “Wow, that was quiet,” every time.

This silencer feels most at home on a lightweight hunting rifle. It feels especially at home on a Steyr Scout. With the TiTrex fitted, that rifle is still under seven pounds (without an optic). The weight and balance, with the suppressor on, feels very similar to a classic hunting rifle with a 24-inch barrel. Moving with the rifle, shooting it from field and unsupported positions, and getting it in and out of gun cases make it hard not to like it.

One interesting observation with the TiTrex is that it did not seem to produce visible mirage as quickly as the Scythe-Ti. Fairly consistently, the TiTrex would last one additional shot before I could notice mirage in the scope. Moving from three shots to four may not seem like much, but that is enough to clear an NRL Hunter stage or to empty the magazine on many hunting rifles without seeing mirage. And if you can get away without a silencer cover that saves even more weight.

Another rifle that has seen significant use with the TiTrex 300Ti is the new Savage 110 Ultralight Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. With a 22-inch carbon fiber wrapped barrel, that rifle is also rather light. Pairing it with a titanium silencer is the logical move.

In a very rapid string of events, that rifle showed up and I was able to secure a last minute slot for the Hornady Precision Hunter NRL Hunter match. That was a difficult shoot, and revealed some shortcomings in some of the gear I was using. The TiTrex was one thing that worked great, though. It was quiet, stayed put on the rifle, and made shooting a more enjoyable experience.

The included single-port brake is a great feature. It cuts down the felt recoil, but muzzle stabilization is the most noticeable benefit. I was frequently able to spot my own impacts through the scope even from the kinds of field positions that are common in these matches. I did some comparison shooting with the flat end cap and the brake, and the recoil reduction from the brake was perceptible. But the stability of the barrel through recoil is the real benefit with non-magnum calibers. There were only a handful of shots from the prone position in the desert moon dust, but it was also surprising how little dust was kicked up by firing.
