.17 HMR Mod

[jonathankent]

Hi all,

I am about to buy a new .17HMR, I think I am going to buy a browning T bolt. My question is what moderator would you recomend, I have a SAK on my .22 is it worth spending more money on a 17HMR mod or should I just buy another SAK. They certainly have price on their side at £30!

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jonno - I've got a SAK on my Anschutz 17HMR; don't think you can go wrong for the money!

I had a sak on my annie and was happy with it.
then i came into possesion of a wildcat hmr mod with a .17 hole in it.
without question alot quieter
but is it worth the higher price tag.....???
if you use the gun alot...................................YES

I started with a Sac, and then tried all the rest, ended up with an L.E.I 17 mod.
It is by far the quietest, at £125 it should be, but it's your decision as to the worth of it.
The Sac is a very hard act to follow for everything below (but including) .22 Hornet, especially at the price.

I have a PES overbarrel on mine. it is built for centrefire really but works a charm on all my rimfire rounds
its very quiet compared to some. The larger volume takes much of the blast and leaves a crisp crack.
not cheap though.

one thing is it is stainless, one peice outer case, strippable to an extent and a very solid piece of kit.
TIG welded internals by the company that make Red Bull racing's exhausts I am led to believe!
