Savage Arms has introduced the AC350, the latest addition to its AccuCan suppressor series. This model is specifically designed for rifles chambered in 350 Legend, providing sound suppression and durability tailored to hunters and sport shooters.
The AC350 features a 5/8″-24 thread pitch, making it compatible with a wide range of rifles. Its replaceable core and end cap, along with a serialized thread mount, offer flexibility for customization. Built from machined aluminum and titanium, the suppressor is both lightweight and durable. The direct thread aluminum mount with a titanium thread insert ensures a secure and reliable fit, while a hard coat anodizing increases longevity.
The AC350 also includes self-cleaning carbon cutters, a feature that simplifies maintenance and helps maintain consistent performance over time. With a 16.5-inch barrel, the suppressor reduces sound levels to 132.5 decibels, making it one of the quietest options available for this caliber.
Designed for bolt-action rifles chambered in 350 Legend, the AC350 is compatible with Savage Arms rifles and many other models. The AC350 is available for $799.

Is 350 legend essentially the 357 maximum but hotter and can fit in AR mags or was that the 360 buckhammer?
The 357 Max is a lengthened 357 Mag rimmed case, with .357 bullets. The 350 Legend is similar to a 223 case with the neck expanded to .355 (although the diameter at the case web is a few thou larger with a rebated rim, so not really a 223 case), with .355 bullets. The 360 Buckhammer is a neck expanded and shortened rimmed .30-30 case that shoots .358 bullets.
There is generally a couple hundred fps step up from Mag to Max, from Max to Legend, and from Legend to Buckhammer, with a correspondingly longer effective range, largely because of increasing case capacity. There are pressure differences, with the Max at 40k psi (although I run it a bit hotter in the Contender), the Legend at 55k, and the Buckhammer at 50k.
The Max would have become more popular if it were ever chambered in a lever gun, but that never happened. A few models of revolvers, the Contender, and a few break action singles shoot it. The Legend’s niche is in AR platforms and bolt rifles. The Buckhammer was designed for lever guns.
All are superb whitetail medicine within their effective ranges, topping out at around 250 yards with a Buckhammer shooting higher BC bullets.
BTW, in light of the resuscitation of T/C, I wrote to Hornady to ask whether they were ever going to do another run of that #3505 bullet, and they said it was officially discontinued, although my interest was noted. Sigh.
Designed for a bolt rifle means bolt rifle plus over $1000.00 by the time you get it home makes it a no “can” do. And cackles talks about grocery store price gouging…what about the cost of “can” goods cackles?
TRUMP/VANCE 2024.
Most commercially available cans are pricy due to the NFA. The market (generally) favors more robust suppressors with higher end materials since they’re typically a ‘buy it for life’ type item. Dealing with wait times and $200 extortion fees, the last thing you want is something that is cheaply made and doesn’t last.
Justin Dougherty,
Note that wait times for electronically filed Form 4s (which is essentially an application to purchase a suppressor) are unprecedented. If you file electronically through Silencer Shop as an individual, the mean turn-around time is ONE DAY. And if you file as a trust, the mean turn-around time is 12 DAYS.
There has never been a better time to submit an electronically filed Form 4 and get a suppressor. The only down side now is the $200 tax stamp and the significant expense of the suppressors themselves.
There is another downside: finding the suppressor that you want in stock. When I was looking for suppressors in middle July, it seemed like almost everything was out of stock–at my local firearm store as well as online (which would have shipped to my local FFL and required the usual legal process).
One more downside: the government knows you own it
I saw a video recently where the presenter asserts that caliber specific suppressors are significantly quieter than a very large “do it all” suppressor shooting a relatively small caliber (compared to the maximum caliber that the suppressor allows). I also heard years ago that there is very little additional sound coming out of a “large caliber” suppressor when shooting a “small” caliber through it.
I don’t know which is true. I just shot subsonic 9mm Luger this afternoon out of a .45 caliber suppressor and the suppressor was VERY effective. I only had a hint of ear ringing for about 2 seconds after a shot. And the shot itself did not echo at all. When I shot the same firearm and subsonic ammunition without the suppressor, the gunshot echoed off of surrounding terrain/buildings and a dog barked in the distance.
If you have cash to burn, by all means purchase caliber-specific suppressors for all of your calibers. If you are bit more on the cash-strapped side of the equation, then purchase a suppressor for the largest caliber that you will shoot and call it good enough for smaller calibers as well.
I couldn’t agree more with this sentiment! Positivity really does pave the way for growth and healing. It’s heartening to know that we can overcome obstacles with the right mindset. Your encouragement is exactly what we all need sometimes. Let’s continue to support each other on this journey! Together, we can achieve so much more.
