plank06 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) As the title says.. what’s everyone using? And thoughts on weight, noise suppression etc? I’ve currently got an A-tec Maxim, but stamped for .30cal and wondering whether to go calibre specific. It was well priced second hand.

landrover Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Was using a t8, but heavy, good sound reduction though. Just bought a dpt not had the chance to try it yet though. Will let you know how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I’ve got a dpt with 2 extra baffles, outstanding bit of kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonno243 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I was previously using a T8 which was fantastic except for the monstrous weight. Finally bit the bullet (so to speak) and went for a Lawrence Precision titanium job and I cannot sing its praises highly enough. Great sound suppression, doesn't add undue length and oh so light. I barely even know that it is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameking Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 ASE SL5i small but very good suppression, It replaced an ASE utra which was good but heavy and unbalanced rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I used an A-tec on my .243. Had no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I’ve got an ASE UTRA Northstar, good mod but I think it’s a bit heavy. No idea what it weights and whether a smaller / lighter mod would be worth the bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClemFandango Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) Have a look at Freyr and Devik from Edinburgh rifles. Lightweight, easy to clean good sound suppression and well priced.

That was why I changed to SL5i (you can part ex your old mod with Jackson rifles they give you about 60%off the new mod) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRDS Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I use a Hausken on my 204 & 6.5 x 55, very light and superb sound reduction on both rifles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I run a P8 COMPACT on all my centrefires, they are still relatively big/heavy and smaller/lighter are available. I'm not convinced any work as well though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 If your only having the odd shot then look at the lighter Aluminium type, if you intend on chucking a few round down the range then look at something a bit more substantial, Stainless Steel or similar. Some advertise s giving more noise reduction than others, to me its sales banter, read up on reviews that are not from advertisers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Morning zipdog, The mod came as part of a rifle package when I was chopping in my existing .243 It cost me a Mannlicher Model L plus T8 plus a few quid to get a Mannlicher Luxus plus Lawrence. The single trigger of the Luxus and the Lawrence were the drivers. Owning one now I would happily pay for another. I'm looking at adding a 7mm sometime soon and will likely put a Lawrence on that.

ShootingEgg Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Have an A-Tec currently but its not that quiet. Although when stalking I may only take one shot so sound isnt an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) The quietest I've used MAE T12, the lightest, Barton Gunworks. Light AND super quiet don't exist, it's a trade off. That said, as I'm carrying the 243 a lot more these days gone for lighter. Edited March 6, 2019 by mick miller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Well I got a bit fed up of constantly swopping the silencer from my 17HMR to the 22RF so dug out the old enormous Husher, remember those. Mine had four sections which screwed together so I dismantled it and put two small sections together. Screwed it on the 22RF, checked it for accuracy and it did print 1/4 inch right from before, so adjusted accordingly and went out this morning and had no complaints from the four squirrels I shot out at 50yrds and the shots had little or no effect on the cock pheasant, half grown rabbit, half dozen guinnea fowl and two rock doves between the rifle and the squirrels. Still a bit of a lump on the end, but Heh!! it does the job still after about 15yrs locked in the gun safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Ase Northstar. It's heavy but it does the job and in an emergency could double as a cosh 😂 good mods for the money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
