[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 350813, member: 10"] Jeffwhip, The Raptor LRSS is a complete rifle platform, not a specific chambering. It will be offered initially in the following chamberings:300 RUM, 338 Edge, 338 Lapua and my wildcats in 7mm AM, 300 AX, 338 AX and 375 AX. The sporter version will be next and offered in the same chambering options. Then will come the 408 CT class Raptor rifle chambered in my 338 AM and 375 AM. The Raptor receiver and rifle is designed to handle extremely high pressures safely. I never recommend loading to dangerous pressure levels EVER. But the Raptor will allow a shooter to get the most out of the Lapua class brass without getting into dangerous pressures and do so with the longest brass life possible because the receiver is EXTREMELY strong and simply will not allow the brass to expand at any realistic pressures. Will the Raptor outperform my standard rifles using other componants, well its designed with many features that when combined should offer several advantages over current standard custom rifles. The design goal is to produce a ready to shoot rifle system that offers the accuracy, stability, rigidity, consistancy and shootability of a 25 lb rifle but do so in a 15 lb rifle package. The sporter version is to offer the same things you would see in a 15-16 lb rifle but do it with a 9 lb rifle weight. The 408 CT class Raptor should offer the ability to build rifles down to the 15 lb range easily without sacrificing on accuracy and without using exotic carbon wrapped barrels or carbon fiber stocks.
