Schultz & Larsen Sound Moderators
Schultz & Larsen were quick to realise the potential of sound moderators. Silencing the report of the rifle is good for the environment, increases the precision of the rifle and reduces the risk of hearing damage.
Unusually, for a rifle maker at least, Schultz & Larsen have chosen to design and manufacture their own moderators. In doing so they have set the same standards for performance demanded of their rifles.
Each moderator is made of the highest quality materials and designed to withstand repeated firing with heavy calibres. Every baffle has a stainless steel cone in the centre to ensure longevity – hence the designation for this model range – ‘Schultz & Larsen Hardcore’.
The rear section of the over-barrel models is machined from solid bar and that alone is an impressive piece of engineering.

Maintenance
The moderators require minimal cleaning to prevent rusting. The recommended cleaning method is to run a cleaning rod through the moderator periodically. In theory the carbon left behind from usage actually reduces the noise as it slows the gases flowing through the moderator.
Rimfire Moderators
Even though a rimfire rifle is not offered in the Schultz & Larsen range, the company do make a rimfire specific moderator. As you would expect from a company dedicated to doing everything in the best way, they offer a dedicated .17 moderator for the very popular .17HMR.
Rimfire moderators are muzzle mounted.
