Pigeon Shredder. Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 About 4 times the price of the SAK for similar performance. The Wildcat is, to my ears, a bit quieter, but not by much. SAK used with my .22. Thanks for that. I use SAK on both .17hmr and .22lr, the difference is of course quiet noticeable because of the speed of the .17hmr, l have recently been using the A17's from CCI which make an altogether different sound as they have a higher speed, much more of a whooshing than the crack of the Hornady round, the .17hmr will never be a quiet round but certainly has it's place.

Rimfireboy Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I've got an LEI on my hmr, works well and it's small and compact. Not cheap though for a rimfire mod. Also got a wildcat evo but I couldn't try it on the hmr because the barrel is too short,but it would be too big and heavy anyway imo. The LEI is a dedicated hmr mod so it should work well.

BillyWhizz Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I use a wildcat panther over barrel suppressor. light compact, beautifully made & pretty quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 ASE UTRA is fanstastic. Barton Gunworks do super lightweight rifle moderator. Wildcat etc. there's loads that are smaller than a flipping T8. ASE Utra here too. Complete pain to clean... but I like it and think it works very well (on both my lr and HMR).

racing snake Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 (edited) As has been said, with CF rifles you get a larger report from the round firing so a mod has a greater bearing. With HMR it's virtually all the sonic crack - cheap SAK is fine, but even that doesn't do a great deal.

Dougy Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 ASE UTRA is fanstastic. Barton Gunworks do super lightweight rifle moderator. Wildcat etc. there's loads that are smaller than a flipping T8. +1 doesn't get gas cut like the Sak. And reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyboy1950 Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 I have 2 SAKs one each for my .22LR and one for the .17HMR. The SAK is virtually silent on the .22LR using subs, but you will always be able to hear the muzzle crack from the .17HMR as its super sonic on leaving the muzzle. Had them both for 10 years and although strippable have hardly ever needed to do so, still perfect and if you are lucky enough to have a threaded air rifle barrel with the same 1/2 UNF (I believe) use it on that as well to good effect. Save your cash by going for the SAK and use the rest for your ammo. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Interesting comments above, especially the selection of centrefire mods mentioned. My HMR has a SM11 fitted (the second, as the first one died and was replaced FOC). When that dies it will get a SAK, just like my .22lrs and my WMR. As some have also mentioned, there will be a small difference in the noise reduction of the propellant crack with different mods, but the sonic boom a few feet out of the barrel will not change and remain loud!
