Deker 3,453 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) https://www.shootinguk.co.uk/reviews/shotgun/17hmr-calibre-sound-moderators-review This may help but it's a few years old and times move on. I run a Sirocco SM11 on my HMR, the second! The first died and Edgar Bros replaced under warranty. When the second SM11 dies it will get a SAK just like my WMR and 2 x .22lr! Edit Personally I think the Sako mod has the edge on both the above for sound moderation, but the difference is minimal, the minus for the Sako is length. SAK wins overall for me without doubt!

Gav 1,708 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Got an A-tec wave on mine, does the job and paid £30 for it. Quote Link to post
Stavross 13,720 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) I use a dpt on my .243 and one of my .17hmr’s they weigh nothing and been a stack mod you can customise it to your own requirements, definitely worth a look Edited June 10, 2019 by Stavross Quote Link to post
Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I use an LEI .17 dedicated mod. It’s small, well made, works well, but, they are expensive for a rimfire mod. Quote Link to post

Wildcat Moderators were always pretty decent on centrefires but have never really transferred this to their rimfire moderators. The Panther is expensive as you mention, but I think I'm right in saying it can be purchased as a 17 Specific mod, this may give it an edge on some which are commonly 22/17. I'd be interested to hear myself if anyone has one and can give it an impartial review! HMR ammo is all faster than the speed of sound so you will get a sonic boom with ANY moderator fitted a few feet after the bullet leaves the barrel, this is caused by the bullet passing through the sound barrier, no moderator will stop this. 1 Quote Link to post

I have changed all my mods to DM80s i really like them. The DM80 i heard wasn't on my hmr because i don't have one, it was on someone's i know. They are fully strippable aswell which is handy.
