outandabout Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I have a Winchester model 70 .223 with a reflex T8 mod. The rifle is light and well balanced, but with the T8 attached it becomes ridiculously heavy and cumbersome. The T8 does a great job but I'm thinking about changing it for something lighter. I'd be grateful for any suggestions or advice with this. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Aimsonic ! Or try and decide from the 45 other mods out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Most of my stalking/foxing friends who had T8s have swapped them for Wildcat Evolutions. I swapped my Atec Maxim for one too and its a great mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outandabout Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 The wildcat evolution sounds like a good choice, especially as some of you have moved over from a T8 yourselves. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammer223 Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 A-tec is one of the lighter ones if light weight and better balance is what you are after you could do worse ,I have one after getting rid of the t8 the t8s work but a bit agricultural by today's standards and as you say very heavy Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outandabout Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 It'll be a while before I swap to a new one, so it's handy to have all of the above recommendations to consider in the mean time. Expected timescale for a variation is unreasonable at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky.223 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 I had a t8 it did the job but a couple of years after getting it from new there was bits of rust always coming out and after 4 years i shot it went about 10 feet down the feild because the thread rusted away so now its taking up space in the back of my cabinet but now i gone for a ase sl5 its a great mod but heavy but well built tho , my mate has got a hardy mod and that is very light compare to the sl5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
