Nice work was it successfully?

Yes I thought that would be the case , works in principle but not practice to a fine enough degree. Is there one on the market that will allow a moderator without machining the barrel eg clamp on.

Sorry what I meant was could the compensator be used as a tuner as it can be set at different distances using the lock nut although you couldn't fine tune obviously

I am guessing that the compensator has a locking nut to get the orientation correct wouldn't that have the same affect as a tuner or isn't there enough mass to it?

As I am still doing load development for my 308 I will start with experimenting with my .22 Tikka T1x with the mod and shim washers just for the hell of it. But first I will put it in my Oryx chassis I have just ordered.

That is one beast of a rifle

I didn't think it would be up to the task. Is there one where you can still use the moderator and the barrel doesn't need to be machined

Have you tried the limbsaver rubber thing as I would like to use the moderator with it

Thanks for replies I think I will give some shim washers a try, could be a fun experiment

This may sound like a strange questions but could you tune a barrel using the moderator. My thoughts are that a tuner is basically a weight that can be adjusted by sometimes a very small amount to improve barrel harmonics so could you do the same with a moderator using different thickness washers as spacers or as usual am I living in cuckoo land. I have a jet z compact mod

Fair enough. Cheers Mark

Thank you, very interesting

Forgive my lack of knowledge but what is a particle damper

That looks interesting are they available to purchase

Hello all Has anyone tried a barrel tuner on a rimfire rifle. Just thinking that as with most if not all rimfire rifles they have there favourite ammo, so what if you have a preferred ammo that doesn't shoot the best in your rifle, would a tuner improve your groups

That is a very good way of looking at it as a rebarrel would be a lot cheaper than a new rifle especially if it fit you well.

Thank you for all the info I shall pass it on and it will give him an Idea to research

I have a.308 that I am doing load development for at the moment but this is for a chap I know that is looking to join our club was asking so rather than just give him my opinion I thought opening it up to people that know more than me would be wise . His budget is around 2k including scope and range is 100 yards at our club to start with then up to 500-600 later on. This will be his first full bore rifle. He might reload in the future if he gets hooked which I bet he will but it will be factory ammo to start with.

What would barrel life be like for the 6br

I was thinking .223 could be in the running and I guess barrel life should be fairly good. So another question if I were to use factory ammo only could a barrel tuner improve grouping, thinking of tuning the rifle to the ammo instead of the ammo to the rifle

If you had to start from scratch which calibre would you use for target shooting out to 600. To include ease of reloading and availablity of reasonable factory ammo.

I don't think I am having trouble yet as I am doing load development so I am not sure if it is the load or stock, I am just looking into options for the future I may try to find a chassis that works but as it's a slightly unusual rifle I am not sure how much luck I will have. I will finish the load development first and if I am not happy I will then look at options but thank you all for your input it gives me an idea where to start

Thank you I will take a look

I used to work in aerospace and we used a compound called redux and I was wandering if it would work. It is a structural adhesive which looks like lemon curd before you mix it

Thank you I will take a look at both of them, I am planning to do it myself. Cheers Mark
