welshwarrior Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have a Parker and Hale moderator on my 10/22 but don't think it is a quite as my old one. What are other people using for lamping and what do yourecomend that wont brake the bank? A mate recommends SAK mob, never heard one!

steve_b_wales Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I use a Parker Hale, a SAK, and a SAKO. Can't really say I notice the difference between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Get SAK for the .22LR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I find the SAKs very good. They are fairly quiet, light, cheap and esy to strip and clean. You could pay more for a few DBs extra reduction, but there's little point. I use a SAK on my HMR and also on my.22 Hornet. It even does a reasoable job on the hornet!

fieldwanderer Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I've got several so I'll explain what I've found: Sak and p/h are roughly the same though I rate the p/h a little better The only one I've used that was beter than those two out of the box is the ASE utra but it's more fiddly to strip and clean. On the other hand, I altered my sak and made it much better: Remove the plastic insert and buy about 20 penny washers (25mm with 6mm hole) and a bit of steel tube with 25mm external diameter. Cut bits of the tube at about 6mm with a pipe cutter (keeps them nice and square) and one long one at about 50mm, iirc, the bottom "end" (the one that screws onto the barrel) has a bit sticking out of it to make an expansion chamber - I think I cut that off but leave it if you'd preffer, just put a longer bit of tube in front of it to make the expansion chamber bigger. Then it's just a case of putting washers and spacers (the 6mm bit of tube) alternating them - washer,spacer,washer,spacer etc, use as many as you can then put a rubber "o" ring at the front, it should all be tight so nothing moves. Actually, I'd say that's the quietest mod I've ever had, shame I swapped it with my mate really. Try to get 18 washers in there if you can, the more the better. Fit it to the rifle and with the bolt removed look down the barrel from the bolt end to make sure none of the washers are going to catch the bullet - look at the sky and move your head round slightly from central, you'll see if anything's wrong.

I have a widcat cub on my hornet..and a ASE utra on the HMR..Dont know what make is on the .22 it is like carbonfibre but is very quiet... I would be careful using a SAK on a hornet i remember reading some where that they are not proofed for CF and could be dangerous.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 i've got both a SAK and a PH on my rimmies and the SAK is noticeably quieter imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldfish Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 £30 SAK or £80 Ase Utra, not worth the added £50 for .22, it is for HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) Cheers guys looks like its a SAK and if thats not great I'll try fieldwanderer's adaptation bit. Edited March 29, 2009 by welshwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markbivvy Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 (edited) I would be careful using a SAK on a hornet i remember reading some where that they are not proofed for CF and could be dangerous there,s not many proofed for rim fire either. as hard as i have tried i cant damage a sak on the hornet, and i use a lot of ammo. seen a chap fire a good few round down a 223 with a sak on and it coped well. mind you the chap was brain dead.

Evil Elvis Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 This will do the job, i think as good as a SAK may be better :blink: The one Martin has is superior on the hmr. I have a sak and a sirocco and the sirocco is audibly MUCH quieter than a sak on .17hmr. on identicle guns. I also have 2 rimmies, one has a sak on it the other has a parker hale....and the sack wins hands down over the parker Hale using the same subs. So Id say sirrocco on the hmr and sak on ,22lr. and i did research on them all before i bought. Both are good value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
