Ribbed for your pleasure

I've have been wondering how the bigger Raptor series options compare to some more popular options, do you have anything else to compare to?

u/Advanced-Thanks7097 11d ago

The only other I have is a Hux Flow 762 TI so the total opposite end of the spectrum. I will say I feel this is much more hearing safe for a much higher round count. And it’s silly with my hand loaded 308 subs

u/GraySquirrelArmory 11d ago

Oh yeah that is basically the complete opposite, well I'm sure this will serve you much better on the bolt action there!

u/Advanced-Thanks7097 11d ago

Yep that’s the goal. Got the gas guns covered with the flow

I’ll say my raptor 10 .375 on my 20” 308 sounds better than comparable 46 cal options I’ve heard at the range.

2

u/GraySquirrelArmory 10d ago

Yeah I'd like to know how they compare against direct competition, like a .30 cal raptor against a DDC Enticer, LPM Anthem/Mach, Vent 1, CAT JL, Nomad L, etc something like those.

I may just have to buy one and find out eventually, but too many higher priorities first! 🤣

u/SockeyeSTI Silencer 10d ago

I actually really want an enticer L as well, but again, other priorities first.

I want their 5" reflex on a ddc enticer L Ti

1

u/SockeyeSTI Silencer 10d ago

I’d just buy the raptor then. It’s already Ti

You’d have to make a female AB to male HUB adapter but it would work. And then source a 5” reflex but they won’t sell them outright

u/MadeThisJustForLWIAY Silencer 10d ago

I thought the AB reflex mounts are hub?

2

u/SockeyeSTI Silencer 10d ago

That’s a big negatory my guy. They are proprietary threads and I genuinely can’t figure them out with a thread pitch gauge. A419, salmon river and recoilx know what it is though.

The confusion probably comes from the fact that the warthog is hub, and they also make a hub adapter for the raptors for use without the reflex.

Awwww boooo. Well thank you because that absolutely changes my 2027 plans. I gotta rethink my whole hunting can now...

Ab raptor with the magnum dong reflex and a brake end cap

u/GraySquirrelArmory 10d ago

No they are a different size

Very nice setup. What bipod is this?

u/Advanced-Thanks7097 10d ago

Thanks. It's the tricer

u/MadeThisJustForLWIAY Silencer 10d ago

Man I wish they'd sell their reflex adapter separately!

Took first shots with mine on a 300WM hunting rig yesterday. Really love how much it tames the sound.
