Further Intel

Constructed with lightweight titanium, the Ultra 9 (6.5) weighs a mere 11.9 ounces, which increases its overall maneuverability. In addition, this can is offered in both CB and direct-thread options. The CB designation refers to Thunder Beast’s compact brake mount—a thread over muzzle brake-type setup—which is an extension of their specialty Ultra line of suppressors. To that end, this unit is ideal on .260 Remington and 6.5mm Creedmoor rifles, so be sure to put it to the test while at the gun range. With said CB mount, the suppressor mates to a conical shoulder on the brake and locks extremely tight. Moreover, via a simple factory service operation, this silencer also has the flexibility to be changed from a CB mount to a direct-thread configuration, just in case you prefer that format. Needless to say, the Thunder Beast Ultra 9 (6.5) offers versatility in the precision and long-range market!

Please note: This model is specifically designed for the 6.5mm Creedmoor (.264 caliber round). If you are looking for the standard .30 caliber Ultra 9 suppressor, click here.
