Any recommendations for a moderator? I have ordered in .22 with 600mm barrel. Looking at DonnyFL’s lineup. Are barrel harmonics an issue I should worry about?
FX DRS
- Thread starter OkWinemaker
- Start date
What energy output range do you plan to shoot at?
There's no shroud to help absorb any of the sound or air blast, so you're going to want a more substantial moderator than you'd put on a shrouded .22. I am loving my Huma Mod 40. 50 ft lb .22 sounds like nothing but a spring and hammer moving. the Eagle vision m36 Sigma is a good option.
if donny fl is the way you're going I'd be Using a Sumo, Shogun, or Ronin.

i have a yokuzuna on mine, with the QD. its nice to be able to pop it off to fit in the cabinet or case. its not the quietest tho, but the modular design does allow more flexibility for barrel harmonic tuning - i think most people that have mentioned it run with 1 fewer sections on it too. that is how my panthera .30 and drs .22 are set up...

I have the Huma Mod 40 on my DRS .22 700mm and it is backyard quiet! I'm shooting 33g slugs at 1018 FPS and it is quite loud with no moderator. No POI shift problems at all. I have 3 of the sections on it. I also have a Yokozuna on my .25s with the QD, but the Huma is quieter.

My experiece with the Yokuzuna reminds me of a loud harley exhuast. It's very deep and kinda poser, like you want to make your airgun more "badass" when your out shooting with your alfa buddies
. The Huma 40 will make most guns with a shroud sound broken after installing. STO Falx works great on everything.

STO really does make the quietest moderators when you get the flow calculations right. Huma and 0db are a close 2nd. Odb being much more compact and stylish.My experiece with the Yokuzuna reminds me of a loud harley exhuast.

I haven't found my DFL Sumo to be as good as my much cheaper Reximex Silent Force or Airgun Capital moderators.

yes, a .25 mod on the .22 DRS, and a .357 mod on the .30 panthera.
They also make me feel very cool and badass when i am out back by myself shooting it.

It should make one feel good to add a heavy loud piece on the end of ones gun! It look really cool on an FX too. But as a moderator, it kind of blows.

I've never been impressed with DFL moderators. STO, 0db, Huma are all better for the same amount of money.
Reximex Silent Force is better and you can get 4 or 5 (when in stock) for the same price as the lowest cost DFL. Only limitation is max .25.

You just simply cannot generalize performance on these things when every guns air discharge is different. The only thing that you can do is list everything that your gun is set at and using and say that this works best for me in this situation and that's about it.
