rimmie Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hi all what are your opinions on the best sound mod for the .243. I was going to get the t8 ar witch my mate uses on his .243 and to my ears it cuts the noise down very well but speaking to my local gunsmith he says theres a new version of the t8 witch is a couple of inces shorter then the standed one has any one got one of these new version t8's and are they quieter then the ar version please help there are so many to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_R Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 ASE Northstar or ASE Jet-Z would get my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Everyone will have a view (usually what they have ) and everyone will have a BUDGET! Predator 8 COMPACT takes a lot of beating for overall VFM. There are very few mods with any better sound reduction, some are most certainly smaller, and some are even lighter, but they all come at a cost, usually a hefty cost compared to the Predator, for minimal gain! ATB! This is what they look like on my rifles...223, .243, .308 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I've got a T8 on my Tikka T3 .22-250 and also my mate Steve b Wales uses a T8 on his .243 Tikka.Nothing wrong with the T8 ,but I can't really answer your question in what's the best mod!

rimmie Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Would you say there quieter than the t8 or the same as if it's the same or a bit quieter then il go with one as they can be stripped for cleaning As you no.as iv said my pred 8 on my .223 is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Just go for whatever you can afford I've got a T8 on mine but ther is always going to be noise with a supersonic bullet. Point the gun in the right direction and what ever your shooting at won't hear the shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Would you say there quieter than the t8 or the same as if it's the same or a bit quieter then il go with one as they can be stripped for cleaning As you no.as iv said my pred 8 on my .223 is great There is little or nothing in the sound reduction of either, but they sound different, the T8 is (for want of a better description) a tinnier sound where as the P8 is more of a thud! I'm struggling to describe the difference, suffice to say if you hear them both side by side they sound different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 (edited) Have a look at these i have one on my 243 and my mate has one on his 6.5X55 http://thirdeyetactical.com/ Edited July 23, 2011 by hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they sound on your .243 hawkeye ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy1 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I have an A-Tec CMM4 on my rifles,used on the .243 before selling that,it only weighs 7.5 ozs,and is strippable for cleaning. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'd buy a P8 over a T8 every time. I like to either be able to strip a mod for cleaning, or know it's not going to need too much looking after. I have a preference for Ase or Pes myself but have had a predator and couldn't fault it apart from it's size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
