Is there a better precision QD mount than the Thunderbeast CB2?

[pangris]

I have some HUB compatible cans and I'm considering putting QD mount housings in them -

In June of 2025, is there a better/more repeatable mount than the Thunderbeast CB2?

These are all precision-ish rifles that we want to be good out to 600.

I have been very Happy with my PlanB style mounts. I have no issues on my Howa 1500 or my AR10. I use the Rearden XL hub adaptor with a couple Rearden and LPM adaptors. Plus there are tons of flash hider / brakes to choose from.

So this is that pattern as well correct?

Plan B style mounts are 0.9"-24

The Noveske is not the same as Plan b

If only we could standardize

I believe any muzzle device with the threads before the taper is more susceptible to gumming up with carbon. I think that’s why TBAC’s own SR brakes have the threads after the taper.

I think it’d be cool if TBAC released a Hub SR adapter, with or without the lock.

I have converted all mine to area 419. I can screw on a muzzle break or any suppressor. Over all I am happy

I run CB mounts and have been very happy with them.

My main complaint with CB, which I use and have several of, is that (probably user/install error) they come off with the f'n can and in same cases have simply become direct thread. I've tried rocksett etc but as of yet I've yet to feel secure in the belief there is no chance I'm going to pull a mount with the can outside JB Cold weld, which I have not resorted to but have considered using maybe just a dab...

If all CB mounts had flats on the rear I wouldn't even consider another system. Since they don't, if I could HUB them all, I might...

The Xeno mounts and brakes work pretty good and are left tighten and right loosen so you won’t screw your brake off when loosening the can.

I've had that happen before. I started putting a dab of anti-seize occasionally and have not had it happen sense.

HUB and SR is all you need.
