Dead Air RXD30Ti

[khuber84]

I also just saw that DA makes one. At 1.55 oz seems like that could be a good option. That added to the tixc is lighter than the RXD30ti. Has anyone tried the add on break from DA?

Dead air ebrake sucks. Does little in recoil for added noise. If it's not a baffled brake, don't expect much.

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably just keep the tixc on my 6.5. Leaning towards getting the RXD30ti for my 7.

I’ve shot the nomad LTi, the standard TiXC and the rxd30. These are all on 2x 30-06 and one 270.

The LTI is the quietest of the bunch. Not by much but it is quiter. The rxd30 and the tixc are similar, but I prefer the rxd30. Like someone else stated it’s a good all purpose can for bolt guns. It’s the can I’m planning on buying for myself. It’s about 7.5” long and weighs around 12oz. I find it to be a good inbetween for the TiXC and the LTi. The brake may or may not do anything beneficial but it is still really quiet considering it is ported on the end

View attachment 907588I got the email that it was approved early this morning and picked it up this afternoon. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on the 300wm.

Sidenote how do you like the ph3? I’m on the fence about one

I really like it, I got it in 300wm for elk out west. Its somewhere in the 10lb vicinity, I carried it around for 3 days in the mountains and it didnt seem too heavy for me. I do like the larger palm swell, and the trigger that came with it. I bought a 2 stage with a flat shoe and decided I like the trigger that came with it better, both are triggertech. I bought a bunch of different federal ammo to see what it liked and it shot everything well from the cheap powershok to the 200gr terminal ascent which shot well under moa. The fit and finish was very nice overall and the cycling the bolt is very smooth. I did have to add some shims to lengthen the lop.

Some Negatives
I do wish it locked the bolt on safe, I found that it would unlock while walking though the brush, it was just something I reached back checked periodically once I realized it. It doesn't seem like there is a whole lot of adjustment fore and aft on the scope mount. I have a Vortex Viper HD mounted on it that I bought before the rifle and I can't quite get it slid back far enough to just lay my head on the stock and get a full sight picture, I have to inch my head up a little bit to make it work. I talked to someone with an nx8 and they said the same thing, I'll probably by a nxs for it for next season, it has about 6" of mounting area. Im not sure if the short actions have the same issue. Due to the bolt sticking out on the 60* throw, it didnt fit in some of the atv gun cases we had on this year's hunt with out removing the bolt.

I did narrow the list down to the Bergara Crest² but then Seekins dropped the ph3, seemed like a no brainer for a little bit of extra money. I would buy it again and am thinking of buying one in a short action too.

TLDR: Overall its awesome, may need longish scope body for mounting on a long action, bolt does not lock on safe.
