I really like my Explorr 224 and the 300. But why aren't you comparing the Ferox to the Recce 5K? I think that's a more apples to apples comparison (I own both, but haven't shot the Ferox yet).

Both are quality cans. I personally choose GA due to success with other cans of theirs I own and dealing with the brand.

I have no experience with the Ferox, but the taper-mounted Explorr 224 is my favorite centerfire can of the 10ish that I have. The flash performance is excellent, it sounds 95%+ as good as my Recce 5 mod 4, you can get taper mounts for basically everything, and it weighs LESS THAN TEN FLIPPING OUNCES. If the Ferox manages to outperform it (would need to hear to believe), great, but the Explorr sets an awfully high bar.

Folks seem to really like the Explorr, and I'm leaning that way, if I can ever find one in stock.
When you say taper mount, you're not talking about the HUB version right? Those are two different models? |

The Recce 5K is definitely lower backpressure than a standard suppressor, but not a true flow-through. I’m very interested in the Ferox, hoping I’ll get to review one later this year!

I’ve got an Explorr utility mount pending and my next purchase will be a Ferox.
So in true arfcom fashion, get both. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Blacktoothgrin: Lotta love for the Explorr It's a great can. Light weight. Sounds good. Low back pressure. Good warranty from a mature company that should be around a long while. What's not to like? |

Both great cans but I am a little (unfairly?) biased towards the Ferox! That being said I am glad to answer any questions you might have and appreciate you considering us for your next purchase.

Karl Edminster Not-necessarily-neutral-opinion-guy Energetic Armament Thanks for participating in discussions. Do you have any pictures or video of the Ferox being shot in low light that demonstrates the muzzle flash? |

I don't have any low-light video of the Ferox at the moment. Definitely something on my to-do list when when can come up for air. Karl Edminster Never ending To-Do list guy Energetic Armament |
