la bala Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 i have a parker hale mod on my .22 rimfire and am happy with it. I am now waiting for variation for 17rf. My question is, are the 17 mods specificly made for the 17 ie, the same diameter as the 17, or are they a .22 mod. thanks in advance.

steve_b_wales Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 You can buy moderators that are specific for .17HMR, but the .22LR one you have now will be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SX-TERMINATOR Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Look at a wildcat whisper - specific for .17hmr - Easy to clean - Cool Looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 calibre specific are not realy any quieter but have more alignment issues if everything aint perfect. I have found all my rimfire moddies quieter when dirty, many mates have tried to get one as good as my old parker hale and cannot (reason is its very old has damaged baffles now and it full of baked hard crud) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravo2 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I reckon moderator is less important on 17 as you cannot do anything about the crack the bullet makes anyway - for 22LR with subs a mod can make it nearly silent but that will never be achievable for 17. For my 17HMR I use a SAK, definitely makes a big difference and cheap enough to be semi-disposable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I have a SAK and a PH and I've had them both on the HMR - I reckon the SAK is the quieter (obviously not including the crack). Same for the LR - it was quieter than my air rifle!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicykillgaz Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 The sako (not sak) I've got on my .22lr is he quietest I've heard/owned but that's on an .22lr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
