    I have one and it's awesome.
    The sl5i is the new lighter model, weights 340grams
    And being stainless should last a long long time.

    Yeah, the new SL5i is nice. I have the older version in 30 cal for my .243 and it's hard to hear any real difference between that and my other suppressors.

    It weighs the same as my other can but is very compact. I like it.

    They're a good buy if you can't quite stretch to an ODL and don't mind the weight. The Waitaki cans are good value and certainly better than nothing, but noise reduction isn't in the same league as ASE.

    Shot my 260 at local(ish) range again yesterday and had lots more comments on the effectiveness of the ASE.
    Most people seem to say it's either the quietest suppressor they've ever heard, or extremely close and considering the length are very impressed.
