You've an excellent short list. I have a Jet-Z on my 243 Ackley and like it. I also have an AU-SL5 on my 260 Rem and like that one too. I favour the shorter length of the AU-SL5. See the following link for detailed specs. http://www.aseutra.fi/index-en Regards JCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarms Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Very good mods. Have the older S5 on my Win Mag now, love the fact it's stainless so won't rot! All of them are great mods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi ,,,,I have Ase Utra,s on all my rifles,,,,,bomb proof but I did have a hole appear in one which "Jacksons" said it was the first they had heard about and replaced it without charge or question and that was a three year old mod!!and out of guarantee. You still need to make sure these mods are dried out if coming in from the cold as they will sweat!!! I like the "North Star" model but it wont over barrel my thick tubes but may be ok for yours??,,,,,North Star[stainless] if it fits or you want your barrel machined to fit would be my first choice.

PCal Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have recently purchased an Ase Utra SL7 in 30cal. Really impressed with it! Compact and relatively light and have found that it doesn't change handling of the rifle much, for example its not particularly noticeable when shooting off hand with the mod on. In terms of noise reduction, I think it is very good. My friend has a PES end can also in 30cal (not sure on model sorry) and he admits that the noise reduction on the Ase Utra is better, not by much but it is noticeable. Hope this helps!

provarmint Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have a S5 and a SL5, both good sound reduction, SL5 is much lighter, both are very compact (short) and great build quality, plus the bonus of being stainless, highly recommended.

caerhays sniper Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Cheers for all the feed back chaps,my dad has just got a jet-z and after seeing it i definitely want an ase mod but was torn between that and the SL5. As its that bit shorter im not sure if the SL5 is to fat on the end for my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caerhays sniper Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 still looking at the ase mods for the new 260 Ackley im having built, i have been looking at the northstar but was wondering what sort of price they are going for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have two north stars and I can fault them. No idea on current price. They are a little heavy but I'm happy to trade the extra weight for the quality and ease of maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caerhays sniper Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 So do they strip down or are they solid type? Still trying to find a price on 1 at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 So do they strip down or are they solid type? Still trying to find a price on 1 at the moment. AsMJR. They don't strip,and were around £260,proofed might be more? Jackson Rifles in Castle Douglas will have the up to date prices. Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 If they will fit over your barrel Jimmy get the stainless Northstar,,,,that would be my first choice.I think for clearance you don,t want your barrel muzzle end any thicker than .9 ish,,. for the last 3 inches? or so,best check with Jacksons though.Regds Onehole.

onehole Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Anyone got a Northstar to measure ID of over barrel dimension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Both of mine measure 24.8mm internal diameter at the rear. From the rear face of the moderator to the rear face of the threaded boss both measure 85mm. From those measurements you should be able to determine if one will fit your barrel - a varmint profile is no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
