Help me decide

I'm considering a YHM Phantom 7.62 to swap around between a 16" POF and a couple bolt .308's. I'm also looking at an AAC 762-SD which seems to be a bit better constructed. I'm mainly looking to buy a supressor because I've developed mild tinitus (too many years of not using both plugs AND earmuffs

) and I want to keep it from getting worse, so it'll be mostly casual off the bench shooting (less than 300 rounds per month). I know AAC is an outstanding product but for casual use is it really worth the extra $300 compared with the Phantom?

Went with the Phantom.

You're getting an Iconell suppressor that weighs 28 oz. For $795 you can have a SAS Arbiter that is all Titanium and weighs 14oz and reduces noise to 35dB. That is about $500 better than it's nearest competitor.

Take a look you got time to get it right.

I'll definitely look into that, thanks.
