    we shot the O2 338 Ti through a 6.5 308 and 300, and it suppressed just as well as a caliber specific... @ least it sounded just as good to "us".

    Well I am selling off my 408CT. I hardly shoot it, there really is no place to do so around here. Going to keep my 338's as the biggest caliber I think. But I dont want to sit and stare at that suppressor, need to put it to work!

    Nice rifle, you will love the caliber.

    i have a feeling i will like it as well, still working on the break in, and i'll try and get a video up... i'm thinking that 408 can won't sound to shabby on ur 338, JMHO.

    Great looking rifle and it appears it's going to be a shooter as well. I have the pieces on order for a setup almost identical to yours. Looking forward to the video, that suppressor really has my interest.

    Just finished my second build. Home made muzzle brake needs some work, but the rifle shoots like a house-a-fire. My try-load for this one was 3.602" COAL, 300 SMK, and 98.1 grains of US 869. Half minute group at 100 yds. I really dig this caliber.

    dude... you need to get rid of your brake, and get your can on.

    i wouldn't recommend a brake, i would recommend the O2 SRT 338 Ti XL suppressor though!!!
