dannywayoflife Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 hi mate, ive had both of the above mods and on a 22 to be honest it makes no difference. And for £30 you carnt go wrong with the sak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 i prefer the Parker Hale on a .22 - not that it's quieter, it's just very small (same width as a heavy barrel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellebarto Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 I've just swapped a SAK for a Wildcat Predator. Hardly any difference at all. Probably would have stuck with the SAK had I known. This is with sub sonic ammo. I believe the differences are far greater using different ammo but I pretty much only use subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmshooter Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 the sak maby bigger, but its alot lighter than a parker hale, and i think its quieter with subs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger955i Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have the Parker Hale on my CZ452. Cracking little piece of kit which does the job superbly. As Nick says it is very small and it is also fairly easy to strip and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Matt,you are welcome to come and have a go with my cz which has a scrirroco mod fitted,its fired 800 rounds and i have just cleaned it and the build up of crud shocked me,also the first 3 baffles were starting to deform,ie they have a bulge like ring around them now. Think eye sell them for £36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I have a SAK on my .22lr and it is quiet.. really quiet. Ask wabbitbosher if you dont believe me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 i've used a parker hale, logun, sirroco and currently have a sako and the sako is the most quiet in my opinion and about £30 so fairly cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenhunter Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Got a Sirocco on my 452...all I hear from my end is a click which is the pin hitting the case! Either that or I'm more deaf than I thought... GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgsm Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sak mods are good, had one on my .22LR savage, now i use the DM80 MK3 looks nicer and does the job. BUT you cant go wrong with a Sak @ £34.00 ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanieboy Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Got a Parker Hale on my new .22lr - with subs all I get is the click of the firing pin and the thud of whatever it hits - some change from my HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyblanco Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) i've used a parker hale, logun, sirroco and currently have a sako and the sako is the most quiet in my opinion and about £30 so fairly cheap too. I found the Sako the quietest too, easy to clean, light and well built. I believe that almost any will do as its the thwack of bullet on skull that sends the others running not the thud from the gun :blink: Edited May 14, 2011 by bennyblanco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy1 Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 SAK for around £30ish, i've got an A-Tec CMM4 rimfire mod on my .22lr,only weighs 3.5ozs and is VERY quiet,but costs £66.IMO.money well spent. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbuster Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I swapped both my rimmies mods yesterday for sak's. Both of them are quieter now (the .22 espiecally). Had a parker hale on the .22 and wasnt sure what was on the hmr. Can't fault the sak's for performance or value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 There is a lot of history on this subject. I have both, if you are talking .22lr and Subs then frankly you may as well get the cheapest mod you can find, the difference in sound reduction between any of them in this situation is minimal. So SAK! If you use High Velocity .22lr, HMR or WMR, then the SAK STILL provides the best package, because they are all still going to be noisy. The Sirocco on my HMR died and was replaced by Edgar Bros, I have a SAK on my .22lr and my WMR and when this latest Sirocco dies I will have a SAK on the HMR as well!

dadioles Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I agree with Dekers that on .22lr with subs almost any moderator will do the job as there is almost no audible difference between them, SAK is a good choice. I do not rate the SAK very highly for the .17hmr, however, as it is designed for .22 and a dedicated mod for .17, such as a DM80, really does make a very significant difference.

Mark-70 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) I have the sirocco on my CZ .22lr as said in a previous post pretty much the only sound is the fireing pin. Cleaned it after about 600-700 rounds, was pretty messy and took some cleaning but the way it strips down makes it easy enough. After reading an article in a mag I thought I would coat all parts with a very light smear of gun grease, supposedly to make it easier to clean and author reckoned quieter too! Haven't made my mind up weather it's quieter or not and haven't cleaned it since so we will see! The article called this running the moderator wet! Has any one else tried this?

rtaylor Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Are the SAK mod stripable? and how easy are they to clean. Not sure what make mine is, its 4" long and has a baffle then a spring, another baffle in the middle then another spring and a baffle at the end. Any ideas? It came with the gun and does a pretty good job, I'd like to try a SAK on my gun to see if there is any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with the gun and does a pretty good job, I'd like to try a SAK on my gun to see if there is any difference. The SAK mods are very easy to strip and clean! I have been using one on my 17HMR since I had the gun and it has had something like 2,500+ rounds through it. I clean it around every 100-150 shots and there is no sign of wear and tear and no signs of any burn marks on it. I have also used both the SAK and the Parker Hale mods on a .22LR and I found no difference noise wise between them but the SAK was a little easier to clean with it's baffle setup in one piece as opposed to the Parker Hale which had the seperate baffle "washers"! Either way if you use some welders "anti splatter" spray on the baffles when you have cleaned it future cleaning is much easier! I personally would opt for the SAK for a .22LR every time!

willy1 Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I use 'anti-spatter'spray in my moderators as well,keeps the mods cleaner, BUT doesn't stop bunnies being 'splattered' though : lol: Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
