Sound Moderators

[Tikka]

Hi All,

 

I currently have .243 and a .270 rifles, both with T8 sound moderators on.

 

I'm changing my .243 for a different spec rifle and am selling my current .243, complete with sound mod.

 

I would like to use the T8 from my .270 for both the .270 and my new .243. I know this is OK in terms of being able to fit,

as long as I get a new back bush bored out for the .243.

 

So my questions are......

 

Will the fact that the T8 on the .270 has a larger bore than the T8 on the current .243 (.30 as opposed to .25) have

any affect on accuracy and sound dampening ?

 

How will changing back bushes affect accuracy? Currently I always remove the Mod after a shooting session,

and this does not affect POA in any way.

 

Has/Does anyone out there do this at the moment?

The difference will be negligable and I wouldn`t worry about using a 243 on a 30 cal mod.Theres no difference with accuracy and as far as my ears go I can`t tell much sound difference.Not the difference to warrant the cost of a seperate mod anyway

 

I know a lot of shooters who use the same mod on several different guns and haven`t heard of any concerns from them

 

The back bush is only there to aid stability in the field and if fitted properly(not in contact with the barrel)shouldn`t make any difference whatsoever to the shot.I`ve known lads to use them without the bush in at all but probably wouldn`t recommend it

I use the same T8, with different rear bushes, on a 222, 243 and a 6.5X55, no problem at all.

WSM, Jayb. Thankyou for your replies.

 

I thought as much but just wanted to double check.

 

Thats another £250 saved that can go towards a new scope!

 

 

hi -

 

you will be OK to use the same mod no problems at all.

 

if you can get the gun smith to put you a o ring in the bush, this will stop the bluing being worn off.

or fit the mod with a bit of tape between the bush and barrel

the oring is best,but the tape works fine as well. and all ways take of your mod when you have done shooting.
