Which one do you think would be most effective on a .223REM? :D ?

The mods that are listed were chosen after the distributors assured me that these were the most effective in their range('s).

I have whittled the choice down to these three mods, as i dont fancy one of the BR tuote's (T8/T4) rusting after a few thousand rounds :o .

 

Thanks alot

 

HG

:rolleyes:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Another, more founded reason that i excluded the T8 and T4 moderators is that jackson rifles informed me that the ASE was "our quietest and most advanced suppressor for 223 Rem rifles." which would suggest that the ASE is more efficient than the T8

:D??? where is fister :rolleyes:

 

i wont vote, wouldnt have any of those, would have the t4 :beer: (if only it would fit on my barrel)

 

the ase's are very nice, but dont have a long shroud, so extend the length of your gun by alot.

I haven't voted as I have the T8 and I would'nt hesitate buying another .

 

A few thousand rds is alot for Ctr fire in a short time period and as for rust it depends on how you maintain and look after them.Fisters as had several thousand rds of 22/250 through it and it would be interesting to see an example of another Mod with similar usage :o

 

I have seen a photo of a barrel M/Cd to take the Ultra and there is a lot of material removed as well as the threading :rolleyes:

I strongly advise you to do a search on the net for details showing a M/Cd Barrel ready to take the Ultra :):oops::lol::lol:

 

No Matter how good I would never have one fitted ............At least with PES and Wildcat you can put a muzzle cap back on after the mod is removed .

 

If you've been put off the reflex series and choose to ignor opinions of users then go for the PES :lol:

I have seen a barrel that has been screwcut for an ultra in magazines before, so i know what your talking about. But i am more interested in the efficiency of the moderator than what thread it has although yours is a valid point.

 

If you've been put off the reflex series and choose to ignor opinions of users then go for the PES

 

I also choose to overlook the T8 and T4 moderators because i am more interested in the efficiency of the moderator than the popularity.

Do you have any experience with the PES?

 

Thanks

Stuartp has a pes and rates them ...............Now I'm only going on the opinions of two gunsmiths in my area and niether will fit Widcat due to problems with alignment :) ........Although Tommy Trucker now has two of these so who knows .

 

What do you mean by efficiency as Your only containing the muzzle blast .My suggestion is see if you can see these mods in action as £280 is alot of dollar to waste :oops: if the cheaper ones are just as good .

I mean weight/length VS noise reduction.

 

My suggestion is see if you can see these mods in action as £280 is alot of dollar to waste  if the cheaper ones are just as good .

 

Thats why i have asked on here, as not many people bother down here, and those who do just buy whatever the shop can get or what is cheapest! so i thought i would ask the opinion of those who had seen/heard these mods in action.

 

Cherrs

The reason they are popular is because they are bloody good with a Proven track record .

 

Alas ...........I have no experience of comparisons .

I believe that the alleged problems with Wildcat alignment are supposed to occur when you unscrew the whole moderator from the rifle, clean and replace it. :lol:

 

I have one fitted to my .243 steyr SSG and I just unscrew the front cap from the moderator, the "can" then comes straight off and just leaves the baffle section attached to the rifle barrel. :lol:

 

It's dead easy to clean and replace it and does not have any effect on the sighting of the rifle. :lol:

 

I read lots of posts on this forum before making the decision on which moderator to buy and I am still very pleased with my choice. :)

 

:oops: I vote for wildcat :lol:

We've directly (i.e. next to each other) compared the T8 on my .243 to the PES and Wildcat on some shooting pals .243's, and even though the moderation difference wasn't massive, the T8 was quieter.

 

So much so that I am having another T8 for my .270.

 

One things I have found, is that I always remove the T8 after a shooting session, and

the POA never changes when I replace it for the next shooting session.

 

Not sure if it's the same for the other Mods, but it's an important factor for me.

Most people will vote (if they could) for the T4/T8, but mainly beacuse they are the 'default' mod, 200+ quid is lot to spend on anything so most people follow the crowd...

 

I have a Stainless T12 PES and apart from the weight it is faultless, the only reason that is noticable is beacuse it is on the end of a CZ which weighs less than my .22! That will be rectified when (if) I sort my new stock out.....

 

I don't clean it/oil it /do anything to it becuase I don't need to. The last thing I want to be doing when I get back from shooting is taking my mod off and swaddling it in rustproof paper or giving it a squirt of oil, that may or may not through the first shot off next time I use it :)

 

I have shot it along side my mates AR15 (both .223's) with a T8 on and there is no noticeable difference in sound. Incedentl, he owns both and rates PES's above Reflex's so only went with the T8 on that gun as it suits it better.

 

You could do what I did, and ask a riflesmith who sells all 3 whet they think, that may answer a lot of qustions for you :oops:

wouldnt have any of those, would have the t4 :)

Nick, i was going to go for the T4 for my .223, but got informed by a rifle smith that a T8 is better and safer. :oops:

yes its also alot heavier :lol:

 

seen t4's used on .223's and .222's for years without problem, so that dosent bother me too much.

Had a look at the Wildcat today, and it was very well made but unbelievably heavy. The T8 was much lighter and actually looked better when fitted on a rifle, so I am still trying to make my mind up. :ernyha:

I can get the T8 for £199 and the Wildcat for £245, which seems to be a good price from what I can see on here.

The wildcat does seem to be better made though AND it is strippable.

G.M.

If you go for reflex check that it is stamped for .30 CAL AND NOT .25 CAL on the rear so you've got the option of transfering it on to a larger calibre should you desire ;)

 

Unlike myself :o :*) :/ :( :lol::lol::lol: :<

 

The value from learning from other peoples **** ups :ernyha::P

The PES would be about £220 GM and strippable - without the shift in zero, why not have alook at one of those?

 

I don't work for Julian Savory by the way :P

 

There are some pics of mine in the photo section somewhere...
