Big Dog Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Hi Guys. Its been a while since I have been on the forum, so hello. I have just ordered a new Steyr Pro-Varmint with a two stage technical trigger (special order). I am trading in my old Pro-Hunter Mountian MK2. As both riffles have different moderator threads I am trading in my curret ART8 Reflex. I am thinking of going for a Wildcat Mod'. It is similar in cost as the ART8, is a take down style""" and light. As I have 2 Reflex I want to know what is the experience out there on the Wildcat? What are the fors????? What are the againsts?B)??? Would you buy one & why? :yp: Thanks you wildcats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plinker Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 i had a T8 and then changed to a wildcat P8 the wildcat is so much better mainly because it wont rust and its strippable meaning i can use it on different calibre rifles by changing the diffuser,a 2 min job. the wildcat is as quiet as my old reflex so its a no brainer really, i would deffo recomend one.

Big Dog Posted January 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks Plinker. :yp: I had a ART8 Reflex that rusted through. Fair play to Jackson Rifles, I had looked after it well, WD40-ed it and blew out with air linner after each use. They replaced it with no quams and within days I was back in play. I live in NI.

Mr_Logic Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 T8 is OK, but the Wildcat can be modified easily later if you change gun, won't rust, weighs the same or less, and costs a similar amount. Personally I prefer a muzzle-mounted can as I hate the bush that the overbarrel types have, so ASE or PES for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipmoff Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Another mod which may be of interest to you is the new ase northstar. It is similar to a reflex but doesn't use the rear bush and is stainless steel. It is also supplied by Jacksons rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 (edited) The P8 (particularly the Compact version) wins every time over the T8 in my book, and I have three of them. However, I would never suggest it is the best or quietest mod on the market, it just offers a good package in my book and does for me!!
