Does anyone have any experience in comparing the 6.5 and 30 cal versions of the Maverick on 6.5mm and 6mm cartridges? If so, was there any noticeable difference in suppression or brake / compensator performance?
I currently have a 6.5 Maverick that I run in the 6" (long) suppressed configuration on a 6.5 Creedmoor for PRS, and I love it enough that I want to pick up a second one to have a 6GT PRS rifle set up identically to the 6.5 for efficient practice sessions without having to swap the can back and forth between rifles.
I emailed Area 419, and the response was that it "probably" wouldn't make a difference running the 30 versus the 6.5, but I was wondering if anyone had any direct experience. For what it's worth, I'm leaning towards the 30 just in case I ever want to run it on a 7mm of 30 caliber cartridge, but only if there is a negligible difference on the smaller cartridges.
