want to pick a mod up for my sako 85 varmint 223 anyone used any of these on one ( this is my first centre fire mod be gentle ) stalon x108 proofed or the ASI utra sl5i proofed these are the best at my local gun shop and both have been recommended but reading the small print about hole size and clipping is putting me off a little is this just the shop / manufacture covering there backside ?
"The closer the diameter of the baffles in a sound moderator is to the calibre being shot, the more effective the moderator is, for example a .25 Cal sound moderator is quieter on a .243 than a .30 Cal sound moderator. On the downside it is possible for bullets to clip moderators if they are not aligned perfectly and can also get turbulence which can open up the group size, this is less likely to occur with more space between the bullet and baffles."
just dont want to throw £300 away on something that will open up groups , will be using it for range and field work so want longevity
any help appreciated
