the pelt man Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hi All Catcherpelt has bourght a new .17HMR and fitted a new LEI Moderator. He was not happy with his zero and asked me to take a look. I found that if you did not leave the the next shot until around 30 seconds after the first shot , the gases in the mod would effect the next shot placement. Catcherpelt told me he had seen a report in the shooting times about Mods and it had been mentioned about the build up, but 30secs seems more than a bit extreme. Has anybody else had the same problem. He is running 17grain bullets through, he has not tried the 22grain yet but is getting some this weekend. The LEI mod set him back 120quid and for that price you would think you could fire the next round almost straight after the first. In the shooting times the report said that this mod was around 28% quieter than others, but the guy only used his ears not electronic equipment Feed back please PELTMAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 flog it or take it back and get a SAK £35 and no issues, you may be able to get slightly quieter but you won't get it much quieter and you get fleeced in the pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayfly36 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have the same LEI mod fitted to my anschutz .17, i dont have this problem. Ive regularly shot bullet after bullet with about 5 to 10 sec gap or the time it takes me to get another into the chamber, all grouped reasonably well to within half inch at hundred yards.

Graham M Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 In the shooting times the report said that this mod was around 28% quieter than others, but the guy only used his ears not electronic equipment How the heck could he tell if it was a 28% reduction just by using his ears G.M.

Beardo Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 sounds like a fault with that particular one, i'd get him to take it back and replace with a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
