Moderator bonanza time is here finally, woo hoo! :)

I'd be keen to get my 17HMR (CZ457 with 16" barrel) as quiet as possible. I bought it recently and it came with an HQS RF on there (which is .17 specific). Do you think I'm going to be able to improve noticeably on that? Would a Wildcat Panther/Whisper be a useful upgrade? Any other recommendations?
 
SAK don't even do a .17 specific one do they? I thought half the battle was at least making sure the final 'hole' was a small as possible. I have a SAK on my .22LR, and I'd not even bothered testing it on the 17HRM to be honest!
 
.22 or calibre specific .17 - It makes zero difference to report. I know from experience.

SAK is perfect and is hardier and will deal with the HMR blast better than other Rimfire mods like the atec wave etc

Anything else, is just aesthetics, brand name, length (if you want an over barrell)
 
Hi
I manufacture a calibre specific mod for the 17hmr, its a horrid little calibre to moderate, you can get rid of the "boom" but the "crack" is a different matter.
Below is a link to a you tube video, it compares ours to a Wildcat and I will state now that they make superb moderators.... in the end it is down to customer choice.
