I see @Ryan Avery really likes the raptor 8. I'd likely be looking at the 6 though. Curious if either of you has used the 6 and the cans I mentioned above and can compare? Also, anyone use the raptor 4 + a larger reflex, and can compare that setup to the ultra7 and others in the category? This thread seems to suggest that the reflex doesnt add much sound reduction. If it did, something like a 4" can for hunting (not hearing safe, but much lighter/still lots of reduction for 1-2 shots) and a 4"-ish reflex for the range to get to hearing safe....that would seem like having 2 cans in one, is that a thing? Or is that simply not viable in reality?
I dont see much love for these cans, but when I do it's often from someone who has used lots of different suppressors...having a hard time telling what is because they look like sex-toys, and what is becasue it's just not as effective as it seems on the surface?
Yeah, I use the raptor 6 on 7-08 Ackley (20”), and 6.5cm (16”). I don’t have noise equipment, but even without the reflex, a shot or two without other ear protection hunting seems fine. Haven’t shot suppressed much at all without ear pro, I’ve only had them a couple months so I’ve only shot them at the range.
