What’s the difference between the HOG Saddle® & the PIG Saddle®?
First off, both products function the same…
- One-handed operation
- 1/4” and 3/8” thread mounting options
- Same recoil reducing urethane pads
Since the HOG Saddle® MOD7 is a military issued item, many design features are overbuilt to enhance the product’s performance regarding durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life, as well as reducing the overall weight. This is also highly advantageous and well suited for hunters. The PIG Saddle® is the same product but the manufacturing process has been greatly streamlined. Performance and affordability are our goals behind the PIG Saddle®.
There are three primary differences between our HOG Saddle® & PIG Saddle®:
- Weight - The HOG Saddle® is only a mere 15.8 oz, with the PIG Saddle® coming in slightly more at 1.4lbs.
- Construction- Both have CNC machined torque knob assemblies, however, the HOG Saddle® has a retention button screw to prevent disassembly in the field. The HOG Saddle® body is CNC machined out of aluminum, and also has black oxide stainless steel guide rods. The PIG Saddle® is constructed of stamped and machined steel. Lastly, the Urethane pads on the HOG Saddle are recessed into the body, providing again, that slight edge in durability.
- Finish - Both have superior corrosion resistance. The HOG Saddle® uses a hard anodized finish, and the PIG Saddle® a tough Melonite® finish.
Side-by-side the HOG Saddle® is visibly the premium product. A lot more time and energy goes into its construction. The clear difference in performance at the rifle range can not really be noticed until shooting at targets past 600 yards. The HOG Saddle®, however, starts to feel a little more stable beyond these distances.
