The rig I’m on gave me a blanket. it’s a £130 Alpaca blanket right enough. But still.

I'd be well happy with that in fairness

Jumping in here Stubby, apologies in advance. Not bad in reality, although the shooter tends not to notice the effect as much as someone say maybe 100m away. Good for keeping noise disturbance down big time. But as anyone who’s used moderators will know even with 22 subs it’s not like the movies.

Thx Johnsond, so to put it into some sort of perspective, much louder than a moderated .22 rimmy?

Yeah definitely but it’s strange in as much as when you fire it you still get a good bang but I’ve had the laddie shoot it with me not that far away and it’s not loud at all. But compare it to a good sub ie eley and yeah it’s a fair bit louder.

With a 2" its not much louder than an air rifle . With a 3" its a bit louder . Take the moderator off and its as loud as a 12 bore .  Its not so much of a bang as a loud sorta TING if you no what I mean .

I remember when I first got it I was not hitting things cleanly . So set up a pattern plate and found I was getting a cigar shaped pattern at a sort of 45 degree angle . On removing the moderator and looking down the barrel I could see that the muzzle brakes were all drilled from one side leaving internal burrs on the inside , and one side only , of the barrel . Careful work with a fine round file removed these and the pattern rounded up . I think it is bored  full or three quarters .
