+1.
Over barrel mods might be shorter than muzzle mounted but the design mostly means heavier weight.
Muzzle mounted mods are more efficient. (less material for a given volume)
Another thing, never believe "light", rather ask what it actually weighs in grams or ounces.
I use a 308 Delta mod that weighs 190 grams and is 7" long. Shoot one deer after the other... no problem.

There's the full spec for the Maxim.
I see it is heavier than the one you quote but as it comes back over the barrel the balance makes it feel lighter.

If you sold the rifle you could just about afford one

The reason the Lawrence Precision mods are so expensive is because they are made of Titanium. This makes them very light and corrosion resistant.
Lawrence Precision - utterly brilliant. You get what you pay for - as in all walks of life.
Not sure which is the lightest on the market but we had a bit of a play with a couple on Sunday at the shoot.
T8 weight was 1lb and 7oz
Sonic with 6 baffles weight was 1lb 1oz
So a good bit lighter they were both put on the same .243 and the noise reduction was the same so not a bad out come for the sonic if you want to lighten up abit. These are available from all good gunshops and a few bad ones as well, also they are from highland outdoors.

A decibel here and there makes no difference to me or the deer for that matter and I never said they were all quieter, only the largest, the Eclipse and I speak as I find regards service and I seldom believe whiners on forums as you rarely get both sides to the story as I found to my cost only today - trying to do someone a favour only to get shafted, again, when will I learn.

HME you sing the praises of the Lawance loudly, only pointing out that others that have posted on here in the past have not been so enamoured, especially with his customer service, maybe they got the standard of service they deserved? I don’t know, hence why I finished it with a neutral smiley
which summarises my position on the matter.
