Which sound moderator

[25 Sharps]

Since all you're going to get here is subjective answers based on either weight or perceived noise, I'll weigh in with an ASE UTRA SL5/i.
You'll never need to worry about it corroding, and it will help with muzzle flip. It will heat haze after a couple of shots.

I run an sl5 on my sporter barrel 6.5x55 and jet z on my 26” HB creedmoor, the sl5 is nowhere near as good sound suppression wise but lighter and more suited to the lighter set up.

There is no "best" moderator for a specific calibre. Maybe "best" for particular rifle, use, aesthetics, balance, attenuation etc etc.

Stalon Victor XL . Low diameter and light weight though possibly not the quietest .

I am about to get this. Any data on sound levels?

Sorry, no . I'm sure the claimed figures are online ,
To my old , uncalibrated ears , I think it has less bark than my 243 with an mae t12 scout fitted . My only regret is I should have put an xl on my 223 instead of the standard Victor, it'd have been a little quieter for negligible weight gain. Same money as well .
You live and learn ...

Freyer and Devick. A bit pricy but light and easy to clean.

How have you found the F+D ?
Im considering getting one for the 243, was looking at the 269 model.

@Neddle I can only speak for the ones I have tried.

Wildcat are really nicely made and their Evo is a great choice - made in UK as well!

I also have Atec mod's, the newest being the H2. Also top quality with the benefit that if you want to replace it down the line then you can do so under Jackson Rifles' limited lifetime guarantee, and get around 40% off a new one.

Quite a few people like DPT & Freyr Devik too but I haven't tried these.

Mines is a DPT, so you have! But it didn't cover its self in glory the day you used it as it sounded louder than usual

I wanted a DM80, but ended up settling on a Wildcat. Pretty impressed on my 6.5 creed

Forgot about that - I must have been overawed by the rifle and scope

You're only human... Most people are stunned by Blaser's engineering...

I have a featherweight 196 on a .223 and a 6.5. Both calibres sound well moderated.

What is the best sound moderator for a 6.5 creedmoor?

Take a look at Shultz & Larsen buddy they have a number of options, hope this helps

Wild cat for me. I have used it for few years and customer service is second to none. If you opt for Evolution you can just buy the bridge with new thread if you change your rifle.

I have a Lawrence precision titanium, performing brilliantly, I’m sure he can produce for creedmoor ... it so light too, knocks spots off my old wildcat.
