Moderator for Tikka t3x a1 tac .308

[xcudlaty]

Hi

Wonder if anybody could advice what moderator for it? Thread is 5/8 x 24 UNEF I'm looking for something going over barrel, not to make it too long. Was thinking about Wildcat Predator T12 but is rather heavy ?

TAC A1 is a heavy rifle anyway, How are you going to be shooting it? If off a bipod the weight won't matter,

[xcudlaty]

Mainly of bipod laying down I use it as target rifle . However I'm not that small and don't mind carry it around fields :) Is moderator going change POI a lot?

[20series]

It will do, adding anything to the barrel will change POI and possibly groups,

[Blackstuff]

A Predator 8 is absolutely fine for .308Win and significantly lighter than a 12 and therefore potentially will have a smaller influence on PoI.

However, other than with my VZ58 (where the can was direct thread and butted up to the gas block/front sight), all fullbore rifles i've had, have had a PoI shift with/without a moderator. Personally I just always shoot with one one and set my scope and dope up in that configuration.

DPT are very good moderators, easily broken down to clean as well.

[xcudlaty]

To be completely honest, I no need it even for sound moderating. More to reduce recoil. I took muzzle break off to not upset other club members shooting on sides of me :) Unless there is muzzle break which wouldn't blow gases to sides?

I've got a hauksen on my 30-06 tikka t3x super varmint,ive tried a few others but tbh they are a much of a muchness and not enough difference to make a difference, the bullet has usually hit the target before it hears the shot anyhow.

Are you sure of the thread size?
Was it factory threaded?

[xcudlaty]

I would say I'm, I bought thread protector after I took muzzle break of, with 5/8x24 and fits. As far as I know this is factory thread for this barrel
