steve_b_wales Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've got a SAK on mine and it's okay. There is a difference though in 22LR and 17HMR. The SAK should have reduced the sound for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Not found a decent mod for a HMR or WMR yet, they all seem to have shortcomings, even tried the odd centrefire mod on them and still not much use. I find the SAK to be as good as any, especially for the money, not great, but it's never going to be!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Don't forget that the HMR is always going to be 'loud' as you can't stop the supersonic *crack* that the bullet produces. The SAK will be fine for the HMR. Anything better and you're going to be forking out some dosh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The original question on this thread is very similar to one I was about to post. I have a SAK mod on my 17HMR which I am relatively happy with as I know that you are not going to get completely rid of the sonic crack from this rifle, I have also tried a Parker Hale mod and found that there is very little difference between the two. However, a good friend of mine who I was chatting with tonight says that the Sako Sound Mod will do a much better job of quietening the 17HMR down than the Sak or the Parker Hale mod will. Does anyone have any experience with the Sako mod on a 17HMR and if so what is their opinion please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any experience with the Sako mod on a 17HMR and if so what is their opinion please? I think the SAKO is the best on .22lr but have not tried it on the HMR due to the plastic baffle stack, I can't see it lasting. I bought the Sirroco after reading THIS and destroyed the baffles in less than 100 shots, Edgar Bros. posted me some stainless baffles FOC which seem to do the trick. It sometimes sounds a lot quieter than my old SAK and sometimes sounds about the same I would say that unless you are going to be shooting thousands of rounds a year go with the SAK, they do burn out in the end though but are as cheap as chips (£30 chips ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Sako mod on my last WMR, tried it on the HMR, along with an assortment of other mods, but no discernible difference to the SAK.

Used to have a Sako on my last WMR, sold it just before Christmas 2009 and replaced it with a brand new WMR to which I fitted a SAK. I have come to the conclusion over the years that the difference in moderators for most people in most situations is not worth talking about. And whilst I have a lot of time for the Wildcat Predator 8 mods on centrefires, I think the Wildcat Whisper is the biggest waste of money going on a rimfire! Personal view as always! ATB!

bennyblanco Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 and a Sirocco on my .17HMR, just because I have, I'm not impressed with the Sirocco, but it has done a few 1000 rounds Have you looked at the baffles ever or does it have the stainless ones already, mine had big ragged holes in several of the cones after 50 shots and got noticeably louder. Was the Sako's plastic baffle OK on the WMR? I have always wanted to try mine on the HMR but thought it would kill it. ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got a sako on my CZ .22lr and its way quieter than my pals identical rifle with a sak mod on, will be fitting one to the new hmr when it arrives, ASE utra are supposed to be the dogs danglies though but about 3 times as much mikee Edited March 27, 2010 by mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stainless, but not impressed just the same Was the Sako's plastic baffle OK on the WMR? I have always wanted to try mine on the HMR but thought it would kill it. Yep, it was fine, only got rid of it with the rifle because it was getting very old and decided on a new mod with a new rifle, but no burning desire to get another Sako, so just bought a SAK for it!

THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 For VFM the SAK is hard to beat for the price. I use a DM80 at the moment but trying out a Hogan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobfish Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I've got a SAK and a Sirocco 11, the HMR is eating hell out of both of them, and there is no real difference in noise between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 wildcat whisper mate . superb @£125 the only honest owner I know regretted the day he bought it and wasted £125, it was all but identical to the Sirocco on mine, and the SAK we tried it against..it's also heavier than both...if you are happy then it matters not what I think, but £30ish SAK wins every time for me!

But Jackson rifles rate it for 10,000 shots on HMR/WMR and offer a lifetime 60% replacement deal (over and above any warranty) so if your SAK is falling apart talk to Jackson Rifles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
