Love the father jack profile
I got told in the beer garden last night, that if I grew what little hair I have then I'd be a dead ringer, looks & personality!! Tw@ts 
plenty whiskey 
Not fired both but I do have both a F&D FW149 (6.5 and used on .243 and .270) and a UTS131 (.30 cal being used on a .270), the latter with a Hausken M15 to M18 adapter - great quality machining!
Both are so light that despite being front mounted silencers, I simple don't notice that they are on the end of the rifles. There are quieter silencers out there, but I think F&D have got it right in terms of sound reduction for weight. For stalking, IMHO they are perfect. On the range for long strings for load development, zeroing etc, I use Wildcat Evo mods and then slip on the F&D for the final zero to take out the small offset in POI. If its the MD35 Mini which comes in at 130g, it seems a direct equivalent of the UTS131 but I prefer the "cleaner" shapes of the F&D but that aesthetics.

That hauksen is cheap and light. Wonder if it would be any good on my 22250.

So in the quest to save weight you’ve swapped rifles, swapped scopes, now moderators.
Surely it would be easier to use one of these?
Suitable for people with noodle arms!
