A recent night out was ruined by shots disappearing in all directions except toward the quarry. A bit of poking around revealed that the moderator's internals have chosen to return to their original minerals and run out the ends.

So, which to buy as a replacement? I like the look of the PES over barrel model (to keep the overall length down), does anyone have experience of these?

Stick a SAK on it. Cheap, cheerful and as good as any on the .17 HMR.

SAK are cheap and ok for the money but for quality and function I would recommend a Wildcat

Thanks folks. I opted for the cheap, but more importantly in stock so immediately available, AT. Similar price to a SAK and also a disposable item.

I read reviews and frankly the difference of 2-3dB doesn't really warrant the extra money. The hmr will always crack. Anyway, mission accomplished. Thanks for the replies.

Sak is fine tried a few no difference to mention save your dosh. Also you can have the best mod on the market fire it in open field great. Take it near buildings or woods and it blows your ears off. Stick with the sak
