Area 419 Hellfire vs. APA Lil Bastard

[blackshuk]

Has anyone used both and is able to compare?
Really going back and forth between the two.

Thank you

I have both. Lil bastard on a 26 inch 6.5 prc and the hellfire on a 16.5 308 (can is in jail). There both loud and greatly reduce recoil and muzzle jump. My rbros came with the apa and I built the 308 and found a hellfire on sale. Honestly get whichever one you find cheaper, is more appealing to your eyes or the company you wish to support.

Have shot the APA's, area 419 hellfire, and the hellfire match. The match is my favorite as it seems to have just a bit less concussion to the shooter compared the the APA.

I have both. Can’t honestly say I could ever tell a difference in felt recoil or noise. Both very similar.

Same and agreed. Really like my hellfire match.

Mines on an 18lb 26” MTU contour 6.5 creed, so I can’t really say what difference it would make on something bigger

Mine is on a 22 lb 6 dasher currently! Haha, even worse! But I have shot it quite a bit on my 11 lb 6.5 creed and have shot the APA's with a few different light rigs.
