Suppressors Beating a dead horse, Ultra 9 vs Magnus

[03CR]

Rifle is an AI AX primarily shooting .308 and 6.5 CM. Have even tossed around the idea of a 16” 300BO barrel strictly for subs just because. I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Ultra 9 and the Magnus.

I don’t own any magnums and currently have no plans to. I don’t shoot PRS so length isn’t a huge concern. This isn’t a hunting rig so weight isn’t really a consideration. I guess ultimately what I’m after is sound reduction. I know the Magnus meters better but is the decibel reduction over the Ultra 9 really that noticeable at the ear and worth the few hundred bucks extra? I don’t have a way to quantify how much say a 5db difference is.

Magnus!!

Same length, quieter!

Kinda in the same predicament. Really want the magnus but the lighter weight of the Ultra 9 is appealing.

I have an original 30P-1 that I use the most. Not really sure if it's technically the predecessor to the ultra 9, but it's a great can and I think excellent sound reduction. Been shooting my Magnus more and more and love it as well.

You won't go wrong with either of those options. Choose which ever your finances determine.

Have both, magnus is quieter imo

I have both. The Magnus is quieter for sure. I also like the SR feature.

Is the Magnus slightly quieter, or is it a notable difference? I don’t have a way to hear them in person so I’d hate to spend quite a bit more for the Magnus if the sound reduction difference is minimal.

Gross, I don’t like either of those.
