Advice needed for sound moderators

[Bevwallis 7]

Hi All

 

Any advice gratefully excepted on this - i need to buy moderators for both a .222 and .308.

I have been looking at Wildcat Predator 8's to fit on both ,but wanted to know if anyone else has used them ,if not what do you guys think would be the best choice?

I have a Wildcat Predator 8 on my .270, it's very good, (the .270 is extremely loud un-moderated, to loud without earmuffs).

In open ground the Wildcat kills the 'hard' noise totally, you can fire it without hearing protection for as many as you like,

(i.e. until the barrel glows red hot!). The recoil is also tamed to the extent you don't lose the sight picture when you touch

it off, this is NOT SO without the moderator on my rifle (Browning A Bolt Medalion).

I advise you to use Wildcat's especially on your .308, you can probably get away with a 'lesser' i.e. smaller type on the .222 as these are

nothing like as violent as the large calibres, which burn lots of powder.

Also the Wildcat is totally strippable, and you can get all the 'bits' as spares, not the cheapest, not the pretty-est but in my opinion one of the best.

Still don't trust wildcats due to the blow up's that were swept under the carpet !

Ase Utra Jet-Z CQB for the .222. You'll never look back and you won't be humping a Panzerfaust round on the end of your rifle

Apparently this was something to do with what could be termed the Mk1 Wildcat, apparently things have changed, allegidly the Hatsans have been modified as well, but I still wouldn't touch another, so I can see where you are coming from!

heard of coutry pursuits in rickmansworth??? the owner makes his own mods in there from what he told me and after hearing it for myself much better than my wildcat.

 

also saying that though if you know an engineer you could make your own,someone i go shooting with had one made by someone he know's for his 17hmr made the same noise as an air rifle :laugh:
