STO Big Bore moderators

I just finished up my test with the moderators. They were almost equal in sound but the ronin had a deeper tone. The STO felt quiet, but had a sharp higher note that pierced my ear more. Not sure if that makes sense. It was almost quieter but louder at the same time. The ronin was almost louder but in the right tone.

I fired around 50 shots in a row with the ronin and then switched to the STO and it was instantly noticeable that my ears felt it more. The first time I took the texan out to shoot it I screwed on a kami for a .72 cal on it and that is what the STO reminded me of. They both had this higher pitch that breaks through to the ear. I will try the muzzle brake when it comes in and if I see a difference in recoil and group size ill probably just run the brake and call it good, if not it will stay with the ronin.

The STO might have had some clipping. The 1st 2 shots were near where the ronin was hitting then the next 2 shots were 12" left of that, but still next to eachother. I swapped back to the ronin and shots were back on target. Accuracy was good with the ronin. The sub moa barrel lives up to the hype if you do your part and can manage the recoil.

I would not recommend the STO over the ronin for 500fpe. If anyone knows of a noticeably quieter option than the ronin please let me know, but I dont think it gets much quieter for the size than the ronin. My ronin has seen 2-300 rounds of 500fpe so far with no issues.

Thats good to hear. I looked through the hole and didnt see any damage but I noticed some foam poking out after those initial shots.

Thats what I did when I ordered the mus2. I contacted and went with their recommendation.

Yep, I have a Sarrissa and 2 Falx too and they have always been spot on with their recommendations.

As for your felt issue, shoot them an email and they will help you out. Would not be surprised if they just replace it.

@Ezana4CE I went ahead and ordered a emporer v3 to try out. I’ll report back how it compares to the ronin. I dont care for the kami length but I would like something just a bit quieter when im at the bench testing.

@Nealgl1985 The Emperor shouldn’t be the length of the Great Kami. I haven’t compared the numbers but it just doesn’t make sense for the Emperor to be that long.

No, more by accident I have a .357 Bulldog. A Lowball bid on Gunbroker.com held up. Not much use for a big bore.

Accident, lowball bid & not much use for huh. Trade ya different rig you likely not much use for, as new DAQ .452 pistol.
Well a poor boy has to try (and the misses liked her old bulldog, opps almost in the doghouse over that one).

Yeah, bid was just so I could monitor what it sold for, I just assumed it would go for more than $400. I track guns on there by bidding a ridiculously low amount. Then I get emails telling me when I am outbid and what it sold for.
