My experience with the rage is... if you want more likelyhood of a pass thru, why not shoot the 3 blade? 5 encounters ive had with them and everyone has been a complete pass thru. not a half pass or whatever, full pass. 4 of those were out of a bear element, one from my general. i hear so many stories of issues with the 2 blade rages and the people that argue them being great or junk. where are the 3 blade users? how many bad stories have you heard with a 3 blade?
This is my opinion and everyone has different criteria to judge upon but i prefer the 3 blades b/c of this
1) 3 blades, actuall circular cut, not just a wide slice. Its subjective to which is better, but i would rather have 3.
2) 1.5" vs 2". 1.5" is still a huge hole (look on my myspace
www.myspace.com/woody42420) but not to much of a k/e robber.
those are my justifications for shooting the 3blade instead of the 2.
regardless of all this talk. a kill is a kill. a clean kill is a clean kill. ive never had better recoveries though than with the rage. ill keep shooting them until i have a failure, then i guess ill be shooting g5's or slick tricks.
