    Swift Stumpy - if you must have a shorter mod then it will dull the crack to a blast. But they are not the ideal hunting mod. The internals are quite solid and un-absorbing and the holes through the baffles is rather too large. They are made quite well but just not the quietest, so the point i would not use one for hunting, though to make a rifle more 'sociable' they just about tick a box.

    Why not get someone to make a shroud /silencer
    I had one made for my ultra by Carl at airtech , so quiet probably on par with HW mod if not a bit quieter

    That's a possible solution. I'm at my RFD on Saturday, I will take my S510 and try a few off the shelf short mods first, but a good idea though Roughly, how much are we talking for a shroud/mod ? Ball Park figure ?

    £70 carbon fibre or somewhere around that mark and very good at that price

    If you are going to use a SAK on an air rifle, dismantle it and put cotton wool balls in the holes in the baffles. Stops it resonating.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    If you have several mods and several rifles...the degree of moderation it produces will change as you swap from rifle to rifles. So if on one rifle the HW is quieter than say one from air arms....the ranking may switch when both are tried on another rifle.
    You will be chasing your tail.
    In reallity the degree of moderation is a little bit of a red herring if its being used for hunting as the pellet smack is far louder than the noise emmitted from the mod.
    I wouldnt get too hung up on it.
    However....its worth trying and finding something that does the job. You need to decide if a compact is what you want or increased moderation.
    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill

    Konceptus do a fairly short silencer. I think its about 115mm.

    I have a bigger one on a Hw80 - for weight mostly. Not as good as the HW silencer but I've got no real gripes about it. Solidly made.
