I wanted one of these from the release but didn’t buy one and waited to see reviews. I ended up finding an assassin and purchased it. I then got impatient and trigger happy and picked up a used ambush.. My experience is much like yours.
Predator - super solid, compact, no complaints other than wanting a bigger platform.
Diy a lone wolf alpha platform- I cut one down and tried to diy an assassin tons of flex not going to work at 250lbs promptly sold pieces and parts
Lone wolf assassin - super solid in a tree, nice amount of room does not pack as nice as the ambush. The assassin has more built in angles so it does not ride flat on your back. However it’s much thicker than the ambush. No flex
Ambush- bought it took it outside experienced the flexing popping every talks about sold it. It does pack extremely well on your back and I love the lwcg mini sticks and how well that system works together. I know the push is for light weight but I hope they get this platform right I would definitely be willing to pack a slightly heavier platform if it helped the rigidity. A slightly heavier ambush would still prolly be a wash weight wise since u can ditch the pack.
At this point my system will be mystery ranch pop up 18 with the assassin or predator depending on length of hunt or where I’m going. I mostly run bolts. But I’d like to set up a predator pack with the lwcg minis like was posted in the predator pack mods.
