You know it's funny, to me, how vendor bashing being allowed on this forum seems to be specific to the vendor, but that's a different problem.You know. This is one of those YouTube vids that made bought the Fatboy that I'm currently, desperate to look for a real moderator to replace it with.
Speaking for the replacement, it seems that the STO is a candidate. Anyone with other recommendations?
Thanks.
You want somebody to recommend something different you have to tell them what rifle you're putting it on how much power that rifle puts out you and how much moderation you want.
Like I said in my first post in this thread, almost any moderator is a good moderator on the right rifle. That should tell you a moderator is application specific and picking the right one is a hard job.
I can clearly hear what I would deem to be a 3dB improvement in his video at the 20-yard Mark directly in front of the rifle. Over my 70 years these ears have seen a lot of really hard use.
That means that I have evidence from his video of one of two things, either he lied and faked that video or that moderator is a real moderator and it does work on his rifle tuned the way it's tuned.
I have no doubt that STO is a fine moderator. It's a very beautiful moderator and any moderator that's twice as big as the next should be about twice as good and should work very well. When you are comparing moderators you need to compare apples to apples.
When you pay twice for one it should work twice as good. Unfortunately what I have seen in the moderator business from my limited experience is that price performance ratio decreases with the square of the performance...
If it's twice as big and it costs twice as much... You should probably see an improvement.
