Reaper or the new OG 30 ?

[Huntnpack 2]

Yeah, I've decided on the Reaper for the 300 WSM. Maybe a OG next year for the 308.

Great Choice !!! Might be a tough choice in a year tho. US has some Great stuff coming out.

I see they offer a og hd and og 30.
Why ?
Why would you not want the og30,its lighter and quieter .

We kept the OG 30 HD aka the old OG30 on there incase we decide to do something with it. But obviously the new one came out for a reason so the HD might stay discontinued. We will see what happens. Some people want a heavier duty version but not many from what I can tell. I just brought this up yesterday.

Because the OG “HD” is a very good can in its own right. It is one of the “boomiest” sounding cans on the market, and does very well with down range signature.
Despite a few vocal people on here- in every single S2H class after a couple of days of shooting- we ask the students to point out the loudest can on the line- not one class have the students said the OG’s were the loudest cans on the line. Not once. Most of the cans have covers- no one knows or cares which can is which.

This might have been asked already but will the Reaper reflex be offered in the 1.00" ID "L" format for larger contour steel barrels?

The OG-L doesn't appear to be offered any longer.

It’s was a serious question because I’m looking at one or maybe a new reaper for a 308.
But if there basically the same thing with one being quiter and lighter that to me is a no brainer.
Now if one is made for heavier use or specific use than I get it ,that is why I ask.
Have you done any comparisons video of them,if so missed it.
Thanks

They have previously stated on other threads I have seen or maybe the podcast that the reaper reflex will be the new OG-L replacement allowing the 1” barrel

1.050 at muzzle so yes, 1.00 works. Fits my .970 proof pxt just fine!

Okay cool. Sounds like a 4" Reaper reflex with grim will be the ticket for my 185gr TMK 7-300prc 20" with 1.00" muzzle

The OG30 is 2oz lighter than the OG30 HD, 3 dB(A) quieter, is still able to be used on 16” barreled 300rum, and semi automatics, and does have a hollow sound still. For most users the OG30 will be a better can. It is as good as any 6” and most 7” muzzle forward cans in dB, and sounds better.

@Cory_Shoot2Hunt any idea when we could expect to see the specs of the Reaper Reflex options. Was going to pick up the existing 6" reaper but intrigued by the 4" with reflex. Just not sure if saving 2 inches by going with the 4" will offset the added weight of the reflex compared to the existing 6" muzzle forward Reaper.

 

[Cory_Shoot2Hunt]

I bet they’re dang near the same performance the 6in without the reflex and the 4in with reflex. I’ll know more later more specs. I’d bet weight is within 1-1.5oz as well. But the 4in will be 6.5 bore.

Thanks for that info, will have to get the 6" as i'm looking for one that i can run on other guns other than my 6.5.

Since the reflex is still "in development" and printing makes changes way easier.

Drop the bevel on the reflex addition...you're making it look like an after thought versus designed that way. I'm excited and have been waiting to see how this reflex Reaper works itself to market before pulling the trigger on another 30 can...the bevel/after thought look is making me rethink my decision.

My unsolicited opine

 

[IrkedCitizen]

@Cory_Shoot2Hunt Why would the bore be 6.5 on the 4" Reaper? Paired with the reflex isn't it the OG-L replacement? There are those of us who have bigger calibers that need short cans

I think that is due to the reflex having hub threads. Those are smaller than the reaper od. Yes, I agree it makes it look a bit wonky. No easy way to deal with that without adding weight vs necking down. Note that AB uses a proprietary thread to deal with that issue.
