I recently purchased a Tsavo 375H&H after shooting one that belonged to a friend. His had an ultralight suppressor (Anechox 45) on it that quieted the bark, and reduced recoil, but it was not as quiet as I would hope. Maybe this is just the way it is, but I’m hoping to get some opinions on this. What suppressor would you recommend?

My thought was to put a Hybred46M on it, and run it in 2/3-length with 300gr DG loads, and full length with 250gr plains game loads. I’m not wedded to any particular suppressor at this point. Hoping to learn from you all!
 
I’ll second the thunderbeast magnus series at your preferred length. I went with the S variant and find its a great balance of length, weight, and suppression.
 
I’m curious what the intended role of your Tsavo will fill.

I do find suppressors reduce the noise and felt recoil, but at the expense of weight and handling. My experience has led me to use suppressors for a very few and specialized applications. Mostly it means hunting from a blind or a fixed position. The only application where I can see using them while mobile is when doing a hog hunt at night and even most of that would be from a fixed position.

Using them on spot-and-stalk hunts increases the overall length and throws off the balance when shouldering for a quick shot. Of course the length will be an issue for nearly any hunt where brush is a factor. And by virtue of the Tsavo being a 375H&H, it puts DG on the menu...meaning the rifle needs to shoulder like a shotgun. The added weight can make this an issue.

Not saying these can't be overcome (to an extent) with modern materials like titanium or training for carrying a longer & heavier rifle. But it's something to consider before going into the bush. Best of luck with it.

Bingo. I can’t imagine having a suppressor attached to a magnum bolt rifle in the bush. In the mountains? Yes. Absolutely if I wanted it so. But that extra length and barrel weight on the end in heavy cover? I just can’t make the benefit offset the cumbersome and awkwardness of it in what I’ve experienced in real life Africa situations.
 
I hunted my elephant with a suppressed 375. I didn’t find it any more unwieldy than any other rifle‍.

I have a Banish 30, I like it, I believe they have a big bore can as well. I personally wouldn’t hesitate to start there

Suppressors on 26” barrels are certainly a challenge and what you describe to a tee.

I’ve found that by cutting the barrel down to 20” and adding a 6 inch suppressor I have the perfect rifle. I get my hearing back, very limited concussion, reduced recoil, and most importantly I get to spot my impacts in the scope with the lack of muzzle jump. In turn I lose about 25-100 fps based on the 14 rifles that I’ve suppressed.

To each their own, but I no longer have any interest in shooting an un-suppressed rifle.
 
There are strong feelings on this site on such matters and I don't mean to wind them up again but a good suppressor in 375 or larger can be had on a total length shorter than some factory rifles.

And the unwieldy myth is not really a thing. I crawled through stuff with this setup that cost me clothing.

I have a thunderbeast on my 300wm barrel. This is an ab raptor on my 375. I prefer it. Removable tip cap allows changing caliber caps if you can figure it out.

Instead of just throwing out what you guys have on your rifle, Lance Hendershot taught me that it's a matter of weight and harmonics. What works on your rifle, might not be the right suppressor on a Montana Rifle Company Tsavo in .375. I took my Tsavo to Lance and told him what suppressor I wanted. Even though he is a dealer for them, he steered me in a different direction saying that what I wanted was too heavy at the end of the barrel for the Tsavo. What Twanger is looking for is what suppressor is right for HIS rifle.

Thanks for the reply! How long is the barrel on the 375?
 
I run a Resilient Ramblin Man on my 35 Whelen. I am very happy with it. The suppressor can be run in long and short configurations. In addition it has an R-Series end-cap. You can swap different caliber end caps, put on a suppressor brake etc,
 
The Dead Air Primal on my 21” Barrel 375 is great. Recoil is less than I would have ever believed and no ringing ears.

Did you see the video of a model 70 , 416 Rem shooting with dead air suppressor and a hydraulic recoil pad, it looked pretty impressive, not sure where I saw it, might have been on YouTube . I would sure like to try that setup.

Mine is 20" with a 7" suppressor making it about 2" longer than stock OAL on the R8.
And before we hear about it... the balance point is perfect; thick walled-steel barrel being heavier than titanium.
 
If you’re using a 458 suppression on your 375 consider changing the end cap to one with a smaller hole. It will make it quieter.

Anime Slayer APK is honestly one of the best anime apps I’ve ever used. It’s packed with a massive collection of both popular and underrated titles, and everything streams smoothly without interruptions. I appreciate how well it runs even on mid-range Android devices.
