Sell me on one vs the other from folks who have used them. Recoil reduction and attenuation are the two things I am most interested in as the weight and length are in line with what I want. Will be going on a Seekins Havak Element in 6.5PRC.
On a bolt action 6.5 PRC, I would take dBa reduction over recoil reduction all day everyday. Full auto capability has no function in my currnet setup, The PRC doesn’t have much recoil to begin with. That’s why I have an Ultra-7 over the Magnus-S as the main focus was dBa reduction packaged in a lightweight offering. The Ultra-7 weights 8 oz compared to the Magnus S at 14.1 oz.Just out of curiosity, why not a TBAC Magnus-S instead of an Ultra-7?
Saying the ultra 7 weighs 8oz is a tad misleading. Its really 10oz if you include the DT or brake to mount.On a bolt action 6.5 PRC, I would take dBa reduction over recoil reduction all day everyday.

I wasn't referring to the RR version of the Magnus-S, just the regular version which I believe is 2dBa quieter than the Ultra-7. As someone else noted it's 4oz heavier than the Ultra-7 since the Ultra-7 actually weighs 10oz but if that sort of weight range is more than you like it's a moot point anyway. Given your criteria it seems you'd be better off with the Scythe.On a bolt action 6.5 PRC, I would take dBa reduction over recoil reduction all day everyday.
I was answering the question; comparing The Magnus S to the Ultra 7. He, nor I ever mentioned the Scythe. While you make valid points, it has no bearing in the question I responded to. And the Sycthe didn’t exist when I ordered my Ultra-7.Saying the ultra 7 weighs 8oz is a tad misleading. Its really 10oz if you include the DT or brake to mount.
Scythe will outperform the ultra 7 at a true 8oz fwiw and can be made a bit less even with a flat end cap. Its an inch shorter too (albeit thicker).
Hmmm. OP asks about the scythe and ultra 7 so I guess we will have to agree to disagree.I was answering the question; comparing The Magnus S to the Ultra 7. He, nor I ever mentioned the Scythe.

What made you order the Scythe? Try something new or did the Ultra 7 leave something to be desired?I have an Ultra 7, I have a Scythe on order.
Exactly the kind of first hand experience I was hoping for on this thread!My 1st gen Ultra 7 has maybe 5k rounds of 308 on it and a handful rounds of 300 PRC. No point of impact shift. Minimal weight. Frequently get people at the range asking what suppressor I’m using and commenting how quiet it is. Clean with CLR after carbon build up increases weight. Just my personal experience with the TBAC.
I love my ultra 7, I just wanted a scythe too since people seem to really like them. I like trying out different gear.What made you order the Scythe? Try something new or did the Ultra 7 leave something to be desired?
Either TBAC has done an amazing job marketing this, or I'm missing something. All of the companies tout accuracy and consistency for their cans, and most people say their groups tighten with a can, regardless of brand.I think that’s mainly where TBAC shines is the repeatable accuracy and lack of POI shift on their cans.
