.22LR Moderator

[Sandy25]

Morning All,

I currently have a CZ 455 in .22LR with the standard factory moderator, and am using Winchester 44gr Subsonic max.
It takes the crack out of report, but isn't as quiet as I would like, so wondered if anyone had any any recommendations for alternative models and brands out there?

I saw a thread on SD a few weeks back about the Winchester .22 subsonics, and the issues people are having with some of them, so also didn't know if I would be better off just changing the ammunition I use?

Many thanks in advance,

Sandy

winchester have issues with the subsonic 22lr before you apply for a variation to change your moderator by some different sub sonic 22 ,if you were closer i could give you a box of norma subs to try as they are good <they are made by rws> just try some other subsonic and perhaps give your existing moderator a good clean.

I use an atec wave and its great.

I've also used Winchester subs and they were shi1te. every second shot was going super sonic. Try get a box of Eley/RWS/Norma/CCI subs before buying a new mod.

 

[Sandy25]

Ok, will try Norma/RWS subs instead then and see how I get on

Mod is pretty clean, was very clogged when I bought it so has been completely stripped and cleaned since then so don't think that is going to be too much if an issue.

My anshutz uses a standard steel parker-hale. And it's about as good as it needs to be.

If you can find a Sako mod the one that came with the p94s excellent with sub sonic ammo.

Adding a mod cover (or some turns of sniper tape) can tone down some of the remaining 'ping' too

Perhaps some bicycle inner tube, possibly an inch longer than the moderator.

I use a cheap aTec on my cz 457 ,it's very quiet with rws subs but CCI subs give off a bit of a crack.

 

[User00056]

I use a SAK on my 452. Winchester's used to be it's favourite, but recently the quality has plummeted so I've changed to Normal. The loudest noise now is the impact!

 

[Sandy25]

Have had a look and will give RWS and Norma subs a go and see how i get on.


Thanks for all the advice so far

Correct - change your ammunition - changing the moderator won't make the slightest bit of difference

I bought 1500 winchesters a few months ago but never tried them until today (they are pash!!! My .410 groups tighter) I shall be returning the 1450 ti try another type, bloody Shame them old winnys were a great bullet

 

[ashray]

try and find norma subsonic, they are cheaper than the rws subs BUT are made on the same production line and use the same components as rws <same case,primer/powder and bullet>just a different card board box !!

 

[Sandy25]

Don’t know who it is made by, or if it is made by cz themselves.

Might have been a factory package put together, but not 100%. Isn’t a branded mod at all so not sure who it is made by anyway.

I bought 1000 norma subs and they were all over the place with my Tikka T1X - changed them for SK standard match plus with much improved results

I’m on a tikka tx1, my options are rws? Cci? Remi? Or the ones I’m taking back

 

[Drew 3]

RWS Field Line, always sub sonic and very accurate in my 457. Also any decent moderator will be as good as the next with .22

I tried the rws in my tikka t1x and groups were just under an inch at 50 yards which wasn't great.
Cci subsonic and cci segmented subsonic will shoot under a half inch so I use those.
Target ammo will shoot better again.
