I was wondering what everyone’s thoughts were in regards to which one is better. I’m trying to decide which one to put on my 6.5 CM. I have a Bighorn TL3 with a 20” Proof carbon fiber barrel sitting in a KRG Bravo chassis. I appreciate any help in making the decision. Thanks
 
Sounds like a nice build.

How much does that weigh? I’ve been thinking about something similar.

I just got in a hellfire match and will try it out tomorrow. No experience with the apa but interested to hear opinions between the two.

I went with the hellfire because I use the area 419 adapter for my suppressors.

Currently sits at 9.4#’s… that’s with a flat bag rider, an M-LOK QD mount and a Vortex 3-15x50 mrad LHT sitting in Vortex precision rings.

I've used both and they generally perform the same with 6.5mm cartridges. I'm a Hellfire convert now mainly because they are more versatile (swap between barrels, use adapters with suppressors, etc) and easily removeable for cleaning.
 
Since you're keeping weight down a bit with that build:


1.4oz on the rifle, and I'll put the recoil reduction up against the others you mention primarily because we've been doing it for 4 years and I know that the difference in absolute recoil reduction across these 3 is virtually identical.

Cost wise: The UL Jetblast wins even when it isn't on sale (Labor Day sale is ongoing now)
