Id wager with the OCM5 that is probably one of the best guns to shoot in your collection. I know everytime i take my AEM out I'm reminded of how stupid quiet it is. Can't imagine how much fun it is on a bolt rifle.
This was the catalyst to update the fixture and process for how we do those AE mounts in the barrel properly. They haven't been popular enough in years past to be a "thing" but now they're a canned deal. Sometimes it really is a boot in the ass to make it happen, so thanks for that ;-)
That's amazing!! My buddy is going to need one at some point soon. Thanks for making it look great, it is super clean!
Thanks, I asked Ryan Beck if he could cut the mount into the barrel back in December 2023. I wanted to have maximum barrel going into the suppressor without it being too close to the first baffle. So that the overall package would be as short as possible. He made the program so the end of the barrel ended where the brake or flash would normally end.
This was the first one he did for me and the one in the night stalker is the second one he did. Ryan does great work!

Good question. Idk and I'm at work so I can't weigh it. It's not a lightweight gun with the parts I used but it's much lighter than all my prs rigs. I'm guessing sub 15lbs as seen in the picture but I'm not sure.

No but Ryan did a 16.5" 308 for me with the same mount that I haven't picked up yet. I'm going to use a DDC Enticer S TI with a OCL AEM HUB mount on the can. It will probably go into that stock.
I like it.
So, short but not lightweight or easy to handle?

Not as bad as you’d think, just an ounce over 20 lbs.
In my experience, weight is less of an issue as long as it balances.
Just goes to show that looks aren't everything...
nice...where did you get the holder for the Foxpro controller? ahh missed the previous post found it
I have not but not a bad idea. Gun makes consistent hits at 800 and not useless at 1000.
3020 with factory Hornady ELDVT, and 3270 from a 70 Blitz King loaded pretty warm. I typically run 108s in my longer 6s, but they were too slow for my liking on this one.
I cut down a howa 1500 7-08 to 16" in a oryx chassis for my daughter to hunt with. Run a hyperion k on it. It is a tack driver and sounds great suppressed. Downed a few deer and pigs the last couple years.
Little different. Finally jumped into the Blaser R8 arena. @DetroitRearView ‘s opinion about them got me thinking about getting one. Then I started watching @THLR and reading a bunch…and now I’ve ended up with this.
Blaser 6.5 Creed barrel cut back to 16” (Due to the fact that the magazine sits above the trigger relative length is 14-14.5”). Schmidt 3-20 T2. Form 1 can. Shoots the Berger factory 130gr hybrid OTM ammo pretty well. Little slow, but I don’t really care. It’s a hunting rifle and will work fine. Weighs 11lbs 13oz as seen.

Smith sent me pictures of my 510 Whisper this morning…sending it for coating and hoping to get it back pretty quick. Lefty Defiance Ruckus Lapua action with a Brux 9 twist fluted M24 contour finished at 16”. Manners LRH stock with Hawkins M5 bottom metal and flush mag. Will have my last Jewell trigger I had squirreled away. Going to run the Bowers can for now.
As it sits it’s 8lb 10oz and with can and optic should be in the 11-11.7lb range when finished. Have a really good supply of Makers 900 and 1000gr expanding subs with N110 and N120 for a starting point.
