Stalin vs Wild Cat

[klaus]

Morning all - this is undoubtedly a discussion that has been had before but in general terms and a long time ago as far as I could see!!

I want the QUIETEST moderator for my .223 M14/1 thread.


I have narrowed down to Stalon vs Wild Cat but now can’t get any narrower on my own!! I had come down on Victor L but can’t seem to find in this country in .223 and WC P12 is on back order everywhere I can wait but would like suggestions

Any thoughts/experience please?? Any ideas for quiet/subsonic rounds would also be well received.

If it's quiet you're after then a predator 12 will do. If you're planning on walking anywhere with it then the Stalon. Given it's a 14/1 thread I'm presuming it's going to be a light barrel so I'd probably go stalon.

You're only going to get it sorted quiet though, the supersonic crack will make more noise.

I'd go DPT over the pair. Quiet and light weight

Have you read the title of this thread.......I was intrigued to know what STALIN had against Wildcats!

Which Stalon do you use? I can’t seem to find victor l for a 223

Find the moderator with a hole that's closest to the bullet diameter you're shooting and you'll have found the quietest moderator
You may well find that a 20 cal moderator will have a hole just big enough for a 22 cal bullet and give more sound moderation than any 22 cal moderator

I use a Wildcat Evo on my 243 using Norma 75g BT and think it’s the best and among the quietest on the market infact all the farmyard animals on my perms think the same imo

My local gun store has recommended the Evo - but also the. Said P12 was more quiet! But couldn’t get it so didn’t know whether I was trying to be sold the evo instead!

I use a wildcat 204 mod on my 223 very good

 

[SikaSeeker]

I can’t compare, but I have a stalon X108 on my .308 and am very happy with it

Same - I am considering sticking with Stalon for the .223

I use a x108

Another vote for Stalon, well engineered, lightweight and very good sound attenuation

 

[FISH BOY]

Another for Stalon, got two of them.

If mods come off ticket, will be getting another one to replace a DPT.

Which model for .223?

Which model for .223?

I sit in the bigger is better camp for sound reduction.

Sorry not for a 223 but did have a W145 on my 22.250.

Use an older W145 (243) and newer X149 (6.5CM).

I have to say, I did consider it, but thought not.

Updates will follow! Thanks
