Ss Personally I dont think there is an awful lot between most mods. My pal has a Jet Z on his 6.5 and is well pleased with it - my .17 Rem has a P8 and I am well pleased with it. 2 other rifles of mine have PES mods and I am well pleased with them although I do think they are on the heavy side - had them about 8 years before all the latest ones came on the scene.

Ss I would suggest the Jet Z is "marginally" quieter..but a chunk more expensive, makes the rifle longer and throws all the weight right up the front...if you are getting your T3 Cut I assume it is the full length barrel. I have done everything sensible to get my T3 Lite in .223 balanced reasonably well...had an ASE S5 to start with on this with then a normal P8..changed the scope mounts 3 times and the scope 5 times ...last resort is now to shorten the barrel! My T3 Hunter in .243 is the new shorter barrel version.......BOTH now have P8 Compact mods fitted and the Hunter balance is brilliant compared to the Lite! Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I got a jet z on my .223 and it really is quiet. My mate has a pred8 on his and the jetz is much better. At the end of the day, once its on your licence , its on. Might as well get the best. Quote Link to post

At the end of the day, once its on your licence , its on. Might as well get the best. i agree the ase is the best it is also compact so it dont look to big on the rifle. yes it makes it front heavy but how man people shoot free hand and dont use sticks or bipod ? if thats the case you wont feel the weight on the front £220 the p8 isnt it ? i get ase for £265 so not that much difference. as for it being on ticket though there is away round that some mods are put on ticket unbranded and if you wanted to swap some rfd can take you old mod and sell you a new one they inform the police and your away. ! as long as its on there as a unbranded mod. i no here the rfd.s are aloud to do that as one as told me he has asked them about it.
