Ive read a bit about the third eye spartan but i cant seem to find the weight on there website, look forward to your replies Chris Do you have the FULL P8 or the COMPACT version? Just buy the parts to change the Full to Compact, save about 180g weight and makes it shorter, exactly the same baffle stack, no discernible difference in sound moderation up to and including .308! Many will have seen this before, my .223, .243, .308, ALL fitted with their own Compact, the tube shown top right(ish) is from the FULL P8 and shows the size reduction of the Compact! Ok, there may be lighter mods still, but only marginally and they will cost a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice,i bought the compact tube set earier on this year,did make a difference and moving the weight back as well,i thought there might be something out there quite a bit lighter and i know i will have no problem selling mine,if i,m only gaining a few grams then its not worth the bother, Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Been doing a bit of research on moderators before i make a final decision what to do,if i was only going to save a few grams its not worth it,but having put my predator 8 compact on the scales its coming in at 570 grams,The A-Tec cmm4 is only 220 grams,althought slightly longer 160mm as apposed to 100mm with the prdator 8 it is also narrower with a diameter of only 40mm as apposed to 50mm with the predator. Does anybody on here use one of these? if so what do you think,it would be even better if someone has used both on the same rifle and give a fair comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weighs 370g. Grear bit if kit, really worth looking into, a few gun dealers a raving about them. I can say that having had it for a couple of weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it arrived they were so impressed that they are not going to bother stocking the previous model unless requested! I think the suggested retail price is £245 if that helps, I got a better deal :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallser Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Got the A-tec Maxim about a month ago for my 22-250, real happy with it and the envy of the father in law who purchased a T8 for his rifle at the same time. Got a good deal on it from a local gunsmith who apparently uses them on his rifle. £250 all in including rifle threaded. Bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 All good comments on the A-Tec, but does anybody have the Roedale Delta Ultralight mod to comment on ? Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
