I guess I should have posted my questions here..I dont compete and only use 115gr box ammo. I recently picked up the Artemis and love it. Thinking about getting another in the future. Would I notice a difference in recoil and return to zero with the Erebus since its comped vs the sight block on the Artemis? Would there be a significant difference? Maybe I'm better off with the Athena next...its a little bit less, but feel the Artemis is probably flatter and quicker than the Athena already..maybe not by much?

I love my Erebus but I bought it with the understanding that I would feed it ammo suited to it. 124 grain with around a 140-142 power factor seems to be the sweet spot for the Erebus. As far as factory loads this includes S&B 124, American Eagle 124 and Norma 124, so certainly not hard to find ammo to feed it. If you are dead set on only shooting 115 grain, I'd pass on the Erebus. why buy a $6000 gun and hold back on $15 box of ammo? Mine does not care for 115 grain but I am sure it could be tuned to. At the very least it will shoot equal to the Artemis as the comp can work like a sight block weight and there will still be some gas benefit making it a very soft shooter. In the case of my PMM X Comp P320, that gun loves 115 grain and is obscenely soft, so there is benefit to be had with a compensated 9mm with 115gr.

Athena's are great too, but I don't think I'd pick one up if I already had an Artemis.
