How does the 240 Raptor and 241 Falcon compare to each other? Which one has the edge power wise I guess is what im after. I know its 204 Ruger case for Raptors and 30-30 for the Falcons.

Both are good cartridges,

The Falcon is about 250+ fps faster with ALL bullet weights.

Sean is right. If you hunt small bodied deer

and smaller game like varmints, coyotes, etc then the Raptor will be fine. If you plan to hunt large (200 lb) deer and larger animals then the Falcon is the way to go.

Get them both! I a nut for the .25’s have a bunch of Gary’s

The raptors and the falcons are both great. The Raptors are crazy accurate and the Falcon have more punch and are very efficient, and wonderfully accurate.

Could the Raptors be had in a re barreled bolt action?

in 222 Magnum or 204 Ruger. The 223s and 222s are too short in the magazine and bolt throw. We built a 257 Raptor on an original 204 Ruger bolt gun a while back. Makes a great little package.
