eddoakley Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Which ones do you all use? I currently have a wildcat whisper apparently It was on the gun when I got it and has tape on so I havent checked exactly what it is/says on it. It is the over barrell type which I like so what else is about if I wanna get a new one? Cheers Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Edd Not over the barrel but so light and small you won't notice, the LEI is what I have and would strongly recommend, except for the price. It's amazingly effective and it's stainless steel, so no worries even though you can't dismantle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 (edited) This might be be of help http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/guns/rifles/38...rs_review_.html I was going to post this myself, it says a lot, and is not exactly complimentary about £125 worth of Whisper. Personally I think the Wildcat Whisper is the biggest con going, which does seem strange as I have a lot of time for the centrefire Wildcat Predator 8 (Compact). Hey Ho, just my opinion! PS There isn't a great mod for a 17HMR, it will still be noisy whatever you use due to the velocity and size of the round. £30-£35 of SAK works for me! ATB! PPS The Sirocco is OK but I do not think it is worth the the extra over the SAK...I'm on my second Sirocco for some reason, when this goes it is SAK all the way!

You can spend more and you wont get £100 better quality than could have with a £35 SAK. Its a nice, accurate LOUD gun! Get used to it! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I have a SAK on mine and I find the noise is mostly down to the distance the bullet travels. If I shoot a rabbit at say 20yards, I don't think the HMR is that noisy at all. It's when you're sending a supersonic bullet 140yards to it's target that it echoes all round the valley which left me thinking it's more down to the bullet than the gun. Obviously no mod is going to do anything to stop the bullet noise so I doubted it was worth spending much on the mod - hence slapping a SAK on mine. I wish the shooting times article had done a short range test so you're just measuring the muzzle crack rather than let the bullet travel noise distort the result.

steve_b_wales Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Hi Edd. I changed the mod' on mine from a SAK, to a DM80. No difference at all, sound wise, as far as I can gather. The SAK is a brilliant little moderator. The DM80 is also excellent a well. It's down to personal choice. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Nowt wrong with a SAK-Excellent mod IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) ASE UTRA, noticeably better than a SAK. Is it worth the extra cash though? I think so. I thought the LEI was pants compared to the UTRA when I tried it, certainly not worth the extra money IMO.

eddoakley Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys, certainly a lot to consider. Havent had the hmr very long and hadnt done much homework on mods, much more to think about than I had realised. Some good links on this thread with some good write ups. Much more to think about than .22 mods!! Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
