Rugged Alaskan 360 TI

[B_Reynolds_AK]

FYI, the AB Raptor 8 .375 weighs 10.1 oz on my scale. It has 8 baffles compared to 4 in the 360 Ti.

The Raptor 8 is about 50% heavier then. Still light overall, but the 360Ti is a feather.

Another side note. The recoil reduction on a .338 WM is pretty substantial. Between the recoil reduction and the reduced muzzle blast I was surprised how much easier it made it to shoot. Other than being silly expensive, I'm happy with it.

Have you shot it against anything but that gemtech? I shot it against several other cans on my 6.5 and 300 prc with a 30 cal endcap. It was the lightest and smallest, but it was extremely loud and it reduced recoil the least by far. It was also surprisingly loud with 9mm subs on my pistol. If I have to wear ear pro to shoot a shot or 2 i dont think the juice is worth the squeeze for a particular suppressor personally. If it had 2 or 3 more baffles it would be way better

At 15.4 oz., I would not be interested at all in that can. The AB Raptor is the ideal balance of sound suppression and versatility.

I’m wanting a lightweight can to put on a 18-20” .338 WBY RPM. Can the AB handle this? What can that is light-er?

Reach out to them. They are super responsive and helpful. I would think it would be fine, but best to go to the source.

Just shot them an email….will update when they respond

Negative. But that's fairly irrelevant for my uses. I have no doubt that a larger volume, more heavily baffled can will have better suppression, but length and weight were far more important considerations for me. Since the alternative in my case is a un-suppressed rifle, this one will do the trick for me very nicely.

l will nearly always use ear pro at the range (due to other guns around me), so all it needs to do is keep me and my partners safe for those handful of hunting shots. The level of suppression is plenty for that.

The use case for this particular suppressor in my mind is:

1. Medium bore (.338 or .358) field guns. Very few "hunting" type options in this market.
2. UL mountain rifles where oz's count in the build.

For long range guns, larger magnums, 6.5's, high round count guns, etc... I'd likely agree it's too expensive for what you get. It's hardly a dud though when used as I am doing.

That all makes sense for that use case.
No one’s trying to convince you that you married the wrong person.. which it feels like a marriage when you buy into a suppressor haha
