Colster Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Picked up my moderator yesterday but I'm not sure if it's the right one. I'd ordered a Predator 8 Compact but it seems too long and it doesn't seem to match any of the models listed on wildcats site. It's 256mm overall length and weighs 648gms so it closest to the weight and length for the Styer version but what is the Styer version? Can anyone shed any light on this?

Lez325 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 seem like youve got a standard Wildcat Predator 8 to me does it look the one on the centre rifle?? Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 No, it doesn't look quite that big, here's a pic of it on my A-Bolt with a SAK underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez325 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) Its the same mod as the one in the photo is my guess fella and thats a Wildcat Predator 8- seen on a 17 Fireball with short barrel thats why it looks so large Ive measured it and its the same dimensions as yours Les Edited November 28, 2010 by Lez325 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) This pic has been up a few times, pics posted by others above show the P8 These all have the P8 COMPACT fitted! PS The tube, top right, is from a full P8 and shows how much longer it would be! Edited November 28, 2010 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks for the replies guys, still can't work out why it doesn't coincide with ANY of the dimensions from the wildcat site but decided today as the snow had stopped and the wind had dropped, the urge to get out and zero it was too great so am gonna stick with my Pred 8 as it is. When I went to pick it up yesterday the gunshop had a second hand Tikka T3 Varmint with a Nikon Monarch Scope and PES Mod for £725 but never mind, very happy with my new Browning (you even get a free padlock with it, looks great on my shed ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 sounds and looks like the Steyr version - it's very similar to the compact, but the length is tailored to the Pro Hunter Mk2 Mountain barrel length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 sounds and looks like the Steyr version - it's very similar to the compact, but the length is tailored to the Pro Hunter Mk2 Mountain barrel length. Also fits nicely on the Steyr AUG I did think they'd misspelled it on the website but as its been on the for years now i had doubts. Odd that they've not changed it :blink: Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Well I'm going to stick with it, was quite happy with the balance with it on and thought the noise reduction was pretty good too, in some ways it's less obtrusive than the HMR... more of a solid "whump" and less inclined to echo around than the hummer's sharp "crack".
