308 through a 338 TITAN

Has anybody done any testing of 308 through a 338 TITAN?

I'm waiting for a full test on one. Looks like I will have to test it myself at the shoot!

I put about 200 rounds of 308 match through the QD-Titan last month for shits & giggles.

I've been hoping for some free time on the range cause I was planning on taking some fun photos the next time I'm out.

The "lightweight" can is still pretty substantial at the end of a 26" barrel. But as I've got it set up it is very usable even on movers.

I don't think the thread on version (at twice the weight) would be usable in the field, there is just too much weight out front.

I'm waiting on ATF paperwork for my 308 cans, when they are approved I can do side-by-side testing.

So the extra money and the higher dB is worth more in the long run? I know the QD model is several ounces lighter. The TiTAN is what I am planning on getting next.

I am trying to decide if it would be better for me to get a 30 cal can and then be able to use it on a 223 or get the TITAN for use on a 30 cal and then some time in the future hopefully get a 338. Weird logic I know, but I am looking for the most versatility out on my next rifle can.

Anybody from AAC have an opinion??????

That's what I'm looking for, versatility. My next gun build will be a .338 Lapua. I would love some high res pics of a TiTan setup for my desktop, maybe from the Stickman.

The QD version is a little over 1/2 the weight of the standard Titan, at twice the price.

Weight is a big issue for us cause I have to CARRY THE DAMN RIFLE and trek around with a bunch of guys much younger than me. Try tracking 20 miles on foot with all your gear through irregular terrain. EVERY OUNCE counts

Borrowing from my friend who's a retired SEAL: Just stay home and play Halo or Ghost Recon if you ever have the urge to get shot at again.

When you take a suppressor and hang it on the end of a long barrel, you want it as light as possible. Our 338 rifles have approx 28" barrels and you don't want all that weight out front unless all you ever do is shoot off a bench.

If I knew when I bought my AWC Raider that I would one day want to put the can on a 30 caliber type rifle, I would have bought a 30 caliber can and just used an adaptor for the AR and had any rifle threaded for it in 5/8-24.

If you are going to get a 338 LM, then go for it. The higher DB probably isn't a big deal considering that a 30 caliber is going to make a hell of a racket flying through the air at supersonic. It will still be louder than the muzzle report.

Dakota Longbow + 338 LM can is one hell of a bit of kit.

ETA: What Ramius said.

"Why yes, to get the maximum versatility we recommend purchasing at least one of each of our entire suppressor lineup"

Snapped these for you guys . . . If this sells more TiTan I will be expecting a commission check from Kevin

Great photos. If you get a chance snap some side pics to show us. Thanks, Eddie.

The type of photos you guys want to see I need to use a macro lens. I just grabbed a 50mm when we headed out the door so these are the only shots available for now:

Gotta pop smoke to help n00bs read wind . . .

30 rounds of 338 and 100 more 308 through the tube.

beautiful pics... what was your f-stop though, pretty narrow depth of field though. Need to use a tripod with a LONG shutter speed

I don't mean to criticize though, beatiful rig and some great (and rare) photos.

Looks like F2.8 in low light. F4 at the absolute smallest.

If I had a .338, you would be seeing pictures.

1/1000 at f 1.0

that's why the dof is so shallow.

The camo was done freehand, just letting the colors blend in. There are a lot of scuffs and scratches on that TRG rifle. Once the boss gives the okay I'll spray the TRG-22F.

That Ashbury rifle needs to be drug through a wet pasture or two, fed 200 - 500 rounds of full power loads, and hosed off with a garden hose before being put away wet. But I'm sick like that(!)

Nice ruck tho!
