Hi guys,

What is everyones opinions/thoughts on what Is the best moderator? It will be going on my Tikka Tac A1 - 6.5 Creedmoor. Im leaning towards the Wildcat Evo purely because Ive had them in the past on other rifles and really like the company.

A Reflex KRS works well on my AKM, a 7.62x39 with a reduced load using a 150gr SPBT sounds like a .22lr

The rifle is also nicely balanced with it fitted and it also has the added benefit of reducing group size as well.

More than a vested interest in 7.62x54r!

I have 2 evos, .223 and 30cal, both work very well and are reasonably light, both feel well put together, the 30 cal ASE Utra I have used on my Deer rifle for years weighs a fair bit more than the Evo, is a smidge quieter (to my ear anyway) and sorts out any tendancy for the lightweight barrel to whip around :good:
unless you really want a very light or super fashionable mod I would stick with the Wildcats cheers

Stick with the Wildcat - I've got a few, as well as an Ase Utra (Both are excellent) - But the modular breakdown and ease of cleaning make the wildcat a winner.

in fairness the zero cleaning I have done on the Utra in the 1000's of rounds of use kinda beat the ability to break dowwn the Wildcats :p

I have had good results with ASE Utra suppressors. I have the SL5i in .223 and the JetZ Compact Bore Lock in 7.62mm . The JetZ is rated for full auto.

Wildcat are UK produced and all spares are available. They are also a great company to deal with.

I fully stand behind Wildcat too, I've had nothing but good service from them and their prices are almost unbeatable.

The only thing i'd wish they'd try is an ultra-lite line up, even if it came at a premium price.
