I’ve been reading here for days now, but can’t find the correct answer.
I need to quiet one of my impacts mkII .30/700mm as much as possible. I looked on youtube, and did see impact owners putting the DonnyFL Emperor on their 700mm barrel. And surely, that monster quets it down big time!
But i asked Donny himself for advice. I had 2 models in my head: the Emperor or the Shogun. He Instantly told me NEVER to use the Emperor on my impact gue to the weight of that thing. He recommended the .30 Shogun. All good, but it looks like nobody every bought a Shogun! No reviews, or videos to find on the Shogun. And before i spend $220 ( european price) i would like to hear how quiet it makes the .30.
And i have no experience what so ever with other brands. A bummer that the Emperor is so heavy…
if someone might have a shogun & video…………i would appreciate ANY advice overhere.
Thx. Rudder
thx for all the answers…except one! READ before you comment please!
I got NO CLUE how other brands perform, and on every single article the name DonnyFL shows up!
I was looking for a good brand, and if possible, with review video!
BUT: @ JSB18 : you got the Shogun on the impact. Did you EVER noticed any plinking inside the Shogun?
It I TOTALLY on the contrary that i had my mind set on DonnyFL! Why? Because a few months ago i asked him advice for my previous .25 impact! His advice : if you buy the Shogun for a .25 FX impact, PLEASE choose the .30 caliber !!! Still got the mail! Why? Because of the length of the Shogun, AND the way how FX barrels are supported, made, that he received many complaints about the pellets plinking inside the long Shogun!! These are NOT my words!
And THAT is why i hold back to buy the Shogun, because .30 is the biggest size available.
AND @cowabunika : SPOT ON!! I also got THAT answer from Donny himself. I i WOULD go for the Emperor, i would need to use a “barrel band” on the impact, to support the weight of the Emperor +maybe the extension.
For one : I’m TOTALLY honest about this and i have NO CLUE what a barrel band is, or even better, HOW and where can it be bought or “mounted”??
and i ALSO asked if someone could recommend me another brand. I never said anything about money . Titanium i VERY lighter compared to aluminium! So why shouldn’t there be a titanium moderator out there, the gives the same result as an Emperor but @half the weight.
and last: why, in gods name, if you are new to this forum, there will ALWAYS be a “pro” criticizing my questions and asking for help?
I will now look what a barrel strap is……
thx & enjoy the weekend you all.
Hey I would like to buy the silencer if it’s still available?Neil Clague made mine. It's totally silent - hammer slap and target ring is the loudest part of firing it. And awesome looking. I might even be interested in selling it as he is making me a one piece shroud/LDC for it now. It's finished and ought to be here next week. If all goes according to plan I may be interested in selling the original LDC he made me. Very pretty piece. Here's a pic of the gun.
