njc110381 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 The Ase Northstar? I'm thinking of getting one for my 6.5. They're well made, small and work pretty well. No rear bushing means that it can be swapped between rifles more easily too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I put one on my 6.5x55 and my mate uses one on his .243. When the T8 dies on my .223 it will be getting replaced with a Northstar. You could say I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanx Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I had heard the odd report that they were quite noisy and did not fully eliminate the muzzle flash but gathering from these replies i think this may just be a bad one that someone got!Thanks for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any swapping of items have to be taken off your ticket first, before you can "swap" over. According to a visit from the FLO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddos204R Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I use one on my 20 cal and it is excellent. Although not cheap, they do a great job and are so much smaller than the competitors. It sleeves back over the barrel meaning there is only an increase of about 3-4 inches in overall length. Very well made and would recommend to anyone.

Orka Akinse Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 I got one on my 6.5 and it works well for the price. There are better on the market I am told but I have tried them to be certain. Third eye make a good one, as does baldie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
