What sound mod are people recommending for a 30-06?

[J111]

Hi all
I need a new mod for my 30-06. It has a 1/2"UNF thread (a bit unusual probably for a .30 cal?). What would people currently recommend? Mostly want compact and light over squeezing every last db reduction. Not a massive fan of the wildcat evo. Not convinced on the need to be strippable if designed properly not to foul up.
Thanks.

I'm very pleased with Stalon Victor L on my 30-06: light, relatively compact, and does a reasonable job on the DB reduction.

I'm using a "S&F"which came with it, otherwise I would be using a "Wildcat Evo" which I use on all my other rifles.

Dpt on mine. Nice and light

Its its gotta be light, then its DPT or Freyr and Devik

Almost the only 2 reasonably easily available mods under 300gr. There is some DPT 30cal on guntrader I think.

Most others are 400gr upwards.

Stalon Victor L is 325g, so still in the light(ish) range

I've had stalon and rated them but now own freyr devik excellent piece of kit although its on 300 win mag and 308

I use a Shultz and Larsen on my 30-06 light, quiet and not too pricey

I can strongly recommend the Dpt moderators.
I have one I use on my 30-06 with a first stainless steel module and four normal modules.
It is strippable but I see no reason to, all I do, if I have been out in the rain, is to give it a squirt of WD40 and put it on the radiator for a while before putting it away.
I have stripped it after a 'range' session just to be nosy but have not seen anything worth worrying about.
I also have an F&D 280 magnum, haven't used that in anger yet but will probably only use that on my .308

I have a Stalon Victor L for my 25-06.
It is however back with GMK at the moment having developed a rattle in the baffles and you can not see through it.
Just as well it rattled!!
We will soon see how well Stalon stand by their products, it is a good mod when it is working.

I have a Freyr and Devik 280 on my .30-06, couldn’t recommend them highly enough! As for thread sizes, Ed at Edinburgh rifles is your man to speak to, if they make one he will have/order one

DPT on my 30-06, light and you can strip it if you want (I haven't yet). got them on all my rifles now.

Thanks very much for all this guys. Think I'll be looking at DPT or Stalon then as the F&D looks a tad pricey for me!
