Light .243 moderator

[frank666]

I'm after a small lightweight sound mod. suitable for .243
I just want one for walk round foxing, not expecting it to be the quietest, just one to get rid of some of the bark.
Thanks!

A-tec is light and the right price range (for me). Sure there are lighter at a price, but it’s pretty good compared to all the other ones I’ve had.

Speak to @remmy700 about a DPT - very light with removable baffles

 

[NoIDeer]

Ase utra sl5i.

You won't go wrong with a F&D, despite what people say.

 

[Jagged77]

I love my ASE SL5i too, cracking mod (excuse the pun)

 

[Zstalker]

DPT is great

without selling a kidney DPT are the lightest and calibres specific
if you want the quietest option run a .22 rated baffle on your 243

HQS mods are very nice and slim
Likewise the Stalon Victor
both only available in 6.5mm options for 6mm though

drop me a line if I can help
We carry stock of all models

Ok, thanks for the replies.
I've got a wildcat evolution on it but want smaller and lighter, not bothered about the noise level as long as it takes it a bit off.

Shultz and larsen micro mod .lightweight slim but end can. It was about £165.00

I'm in the same boat, have a Ase Utra Jet-z Compact Moderator on my 243 but is too nose heavy, 500g ish

I've narrowed it down to the muzzle forward DPT and Freyer & Devik UTS200, both around 200g. The Freyer is meant to be quieter but twice the price and I don't like the look. The DPT is cheaper, better looking IMO but not as good sound reduction

So i have done nothing and stuck with the bullet proof non aluminum Jet-z

I run F&D FW149 and UTS131 mods on my .243 and .270 respectively. The numbers are the weights in grams - a quarter of an EVO.

I also have a UTS231 for the .308s and, prior to that, a FW196.

As you see, I think they are exceptional

The FW149 is the sort of thing I'm looking for.
Thanks for the pics.

Surprised to see the weight differential with my atec (a3?) which is over 130g heavier. Atec feels fine but that’s quite a big difference!

DPT on my 30-06, very light and does the job.

 

[Shaun Goss]

Freyr and devik uts 231

i use a stalon x108 on my .243 and would highly recommend them

Likewise, I can fault them unlike a few owners I've seen on here

Thought I'd update that picture with part of the current line up - there's still 2 more lurking elsewhere!
