Have a 50% cert, and I'm torn between the Dominus with a HUB mount vs. the Ultra 5 with CB (and could be convinced on the Ultra 7).
I KNOW-- I'm stupid for not getting the most expensive can, but that seems a bit unfair to TBAC since I already use a 338 Ultra and a Magnus and really I just want a lightweight and short can with acceptable suppression. I guess I'm saying that I'm already getting a deal and don't need to go overboard.
I do not have any CB brakes so I'm moving to a new mounting system regardless. I have SR brakes, but they are heavy and the SR feature was honestly probably a mistake since I never need that much retention and weight is a big deal to me even on target rifles. I do not wear hearing protection when I hunt and probably never will. Tried for a while and I just forget. This will be going on exclusively lightweight hunting bolt-action rifles (most 6.5 PRC and 308) and maybe an ar or two (most with 16-18 inch barrels), and my order of priorities is length/weight>suppression>mounting/ease of use>durability.
So, what do y'all think?
Also, would love any insight from guys running a HUB mount. It seems that I can achieve the lightest weight overall if I go HUB because there are lightweight HUB mounts (like this), but it seems that TBAC shies away from using the HUB mount generally. Is this because HUB mounts are problematic, or because TBAC is currently transitioning to a new standard and still tentative about trusting other manufacturers to create mounts for their cans?
Thanks in advance
