Sauer020 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 What are people's thoughts on using one mod and switching between two rifles? I am considering a .30 cal for the occasional large deer etc but also have a 243 with a nice lightweight mod for up to .30 cal, I don't see the point in buying another for "now and then" use. The zero in theory should remain the same when removing and then replacing the mod on each rifle. Does anyone else do this? Thanks Sauer.

Dekers Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 As for zero, it is likely to stay close for both but it will also depend on your cleaning regime. If the mod spends most of its life on one gun then a check on the other would seem a good plan initially at least, to make sure it does stay close on zero. This subject has been debated before, I am in the school of 1 mod for 1 rifle, every rifle I have has its own, rimfires and cf, and I have a couple of spares as well. I use most of mine a lot though, but frankly for occassional use/swapping them over, why not!? Each of my cf mods are calibre specific and that helps to get the best out of the moderation as well.

Thunderbird Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I swap the mod on both my 22s with no discernible ill effects, but then I'm not talking serious ranges on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, appreciate the reply - the calibre specific mod for a 243 would be a .30 cal though is it not? I can't remember seeing a 6mm but could be wrong...thought most of the 243 ones were "up to .30cal" . The other issue i guess is the way they are written on your ticket but i guess that could be altered, if it was going to be used often i would get another but as its for "noe and again" i don't see the point - especially as the A-TEC i have is perfect for hill stalking as its so lightweight. Thanks Sauer I swap the mod on both my 22s with no discernible ill effects, but then I'm not talking serious ranges on either. I imagine the cf would be the same but - or at least within an acceptable group for stalking,,, Thanks, Sauer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ging125 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 How will it be written on the ticket to comply with the law? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) How will it be written on the ticket to comply with the law? Moderators are no longer deem calibre specific according to Thames Valley Police so it can be list as CF moderator up 6mm etc Edited March 24, 2013 by welshwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All guns should retain their zero removing and re-fitting a moderator (unless their is an issue) leaving moddies on c/f rifles is a recipe for disaster corrosion wise I don't even have them in the same safe. Make sure you have two back bushes if applicable cut to suit and baffles to fit the larger calibre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firearms office are fine with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
