Shot the AI. First time ever. I can definitely see the appeal. Rifle pic I took at the range came out crappy. Backyard photo.

Factory Hornady 6 Creedmoor 108 ELDm.

I suck compared to so many others, but it was a great time.

Updated pic of the AXSR. I have a ClipIR-xELR ordered for it because the Tig is out of gas beyond 4-500 yards.

Ya know, they used to burn your kind at the stake for being a witch. All of those poor goodies forever trapped on a witch’s wrong-handed system.

How long does it take for someone to get off the couch and press the button on the silencer shop kiosk? Suppress that shit. Such nice toys but no can. It’s like having a Porsche GT3 but you park it at a townhome the ghetto.

Seriously nice set up tho

Show me the data. PEW uses an extremely sophisticated metering setup and the guy who runs it is a professional engineer who specializes in this arena. The Hyperion is substantially quieter than an Ultra 9. Both companies' .338 cans are just magnified versions of their .308 cans. I don't wanna derail this thread so I'll just say to each their own.

@TBACRAY could I'm sure. But I think I saw one of their vids they were sub 120 with 6.5cm at SE with a gen 2 338 ultra

I do like pew science, but we don't have 338 data. Everyone thought the CGS would dominate the mk18....we saw how that turned out. We shouldn't make assumptions on data we do not have. The gen 2 is improved a good bit over the gen 1. Own gen 1 shot gen 2.

No one should be buying a 338 Ultra for a 6.5CM. I suspect the Hekate would also perform extremely well on a 6.5 creed. @TBACRAY is a classy dude and I doubt he is going to have anything bad to say about anyone else's cans except Kevin lol.

@matleez I didn't think they would dominate the mk18 and I told everyone so beforehand on Reddit. The Helios has an enormous bore aperture, the result was obvious to anyone with half a brain. I recognize we don't have 338 data so I dunno how anyone can claim with a straight face that the 338 ultra is quieter than anything. The best thing to do would be to extrapolate the .308 data since both the Ultra 338 and Hekate are essentially scaled-up versions of the Ultra 9 and Hyperion, respectively.

You bought it for your .338 and happen to run it on your 6.5, that was exactly my point. You would have bought an Ultra 7/9 and saved a bunch of money if you didn't own a .338. I suspect the ultra would sound great on a .22LR too but no one buys it for that and it would be dumb to claim it's the best .22 can.

Oh I'm not taking any of this personally :LOL: I sometimes run an AAC Titan on a 300BLK bolt gun.

I actually came pretty close to buying the Ultra, I think they probably are neck and neck, but I got 40% off the Hekate which made the decision pretty easy lol.

When you get time I would be interesting in some through scope pics with your zco and the tigir... Been kicking around picking up a tigir this year

I happen to have one on my phone. Bear in mind this was shot with a handheld iPhone, image quality and focus are not reflective of what you see in real life. I believe the ZCO was in the 10x range for this photo but can't swear on the bible, it may have been a bit more. Tig in standard black hot mode, trees are approximately 80-100 yards distant. I find its sweet spot is 5-12x depending on day scope.

@Conqueror @Huskydriver @Movistar
I run the 338 Ultra on everything from 264 and up. Nothing compares. It’s stupid. I run the Dominus on everything 243 and down. Same concept, just shorter. Gas guns back pressure makes a difference. TBAC cans are not optimized for this. I would wager that is the Ultra 9 Gen I in Pew science and not the Gen II. The Magnus is comparable to the Gen I 338 Ultra and the 338 Ultra Gen 2 is in a league of its own.

Yes it is a gen 1 on pew science. I have an oss stamp in process. 1 tbac 338 ultra thats used on all my bolt guns. 1 SAS resistor I mainly use for ARs and I have a f1 338 I made. For like 500 bucks the f1 is decent. No 338 ultra tho

Took this out for the first time today with my son. Windy as all hell @ the 200 yard sandpit. Had feeding issues and that was a distraction.

I had forgotten there was no bag rider with the ATX, luckily I had @pfl338 bag rider in my shooting bag!

I’ll have to post pics, I know….

I am now the owner of my first AI; a 2014 AT folder I got from MH in 308 that came with a case, 260 Bartlein barrel, and Harris bipod.

The few times I’ve handled it since getting it from the shop today…as I said to my wife “I should have bought one of these a long time ago”.

Will post pics when I can.

I said the same. Bought many other rifles not wanting to justify the $$ for AI. Once I handled the AI I wished I’d bought one long ago. Would have saved $ in the long run.

We must be related lol. We’ve talked a few times about this, and I finally sold and saved enough to eat the cost of this and it was a very, very wise decision.

Now I’m gonna be a poor and use my Bushnell DMR3 with it until I can step up to a S&B or ZCO.
