26-28 is comfortable for me in a bolt action match rifle.

22-24 for a bolt action hunting rifle.

Both of the above will have 6-9 inch suppressors on the end.

Working on it homie. I pick it up from the gunsmith tomorrow. I had them torque the barrel on (tired of waiting on a TL3 action wrench) and cerakote the Zeus barrel.

As soon as I find a 6.5mm 16” barrel blank I’m going to have a Grendel spun for it. I have a 6mm 18” Carbon fiber blank coming just haven’t decided on creedmoor or ARC for it yet.

Is "Old School" allowed in this thread?  

In the '80s & '90s myself and a couple of friends were building aluminum chassis rifles and painting everything, from camo to pink.

These days I find myself building rifles more typical to the '80s & 90s.  

This .284Win on a 700 action is from parts I had sitting around.  
700 action from a gunsmith estate.
Unknown barrel from a gunsmith estate.
Unknown stock from....you guessed it.....a gunsmith estate.

Two shots at 50 yards to confirm bore sight.  
Fifteen shots for groups.
These are all rounds thru this rifle.
After the first two groups, I was frustrated by a piss poor Timney trigger.  
Trigger replaced w/ a factory 40x unit and a pressure point in forend removed.

Red arrow to first shot after work above, followed by four more.

I also shot my .218 Mashburn Bee and .263 Sabre, but those are Mauser rifles, so they can't be precision rifle in 2025.

I took my 6.5 Fix and my daughter's 6 ARC mini Fix out earlier this week for a zero confirmation. Both have Proof barrels and I used factory Hornady 143 ELD-X in the 6.5 and 108 ELD in the 6. I shot off some bags and a mat in the back of my truck and was very happy with both, but I barely managed to keep the mini under one inch for the two 5-shot groups I fired. I think crossing wind gusts had started up by the time I shot it because the shots were stringing horizontally.

I've seen your ATX on the hide before in the AI thread. In your opinion obviously excluding the .50 big boy if you were to get one which would it be? I was going .338 as the route for the caliber choice.

Are you looking for max recoil reduction while still keeping it quiet?

If that is the case, get a Magnus-S with a 375 bore.  Kind of the best of both worlds.

Mainly suppression being the top priority with recoil reduction a close second. I've been leaning towards the Magnus-S based on what everyone else has said.

I use my S on calibers that use more than 35-40gns of powder so there is some gas left to make the brake effective.

The K works great on my 223s and 6 Grendel.

I took it out today for the first time.  It works fine.  Hard to say how the recoil reduction aspect works.  The AI is a chonky bitch, there's not much recoil anyway with the 6.5CM.

I also shot the Q The Fix in 6.5CM with a Thunderchicken Suppressor.  That thing is a snappy little shit.  I certainly feel the recoil more but it's likely because it weighs half as much as the AI.
