@SloppyJ and I shot at least 1500 rounds right next to each other with a Raptor 8 and a Raptor 10 with 3" reflexes. They are quiet as hell. Your weight on your chart is accurate tho unfortunately.
After hearing the OG a couple thousand times I am interested in getting a Raptor 6 with a 5" reflex.
But I wouldn't start there; that's just me playing around. I'd get the 8 w/ the 3" reflex. I toted it around for a couple miles moose hunting and all week at Shoot2Hunt. You get used to it.
Totally agree. I had the 10 stack or the BBC as it was referred to... can not, oh well. Anyway, the 8 is probably the best all around option out there IMO. Ill end up with an 8 soon enough. I keep branching out trying this new "tech" and keep going back to my 10 stack raptor or my wolfhunter for smaller calibers. Those are the top two cans that I own and have heard, period.
The OG is purpose built for lightweight hunting. Its a good option if you're honest about being okay with less suppression. The few ounces to get some more decibel reduction is worth it to me but im not hauling my rifle 50 miles on a hunt. The option to run a flush back cap on the Raptor is a plus to me but could be seen as just more parts to keep up with so decide that for yourself. I always shoot it with the reflex section on but its nice to have the option for other rifles with front sights or gas guns.
