These aggravating fur bags are getting out of hand where I deer and turkey hunt. I want to pick up a cheap suppressor ready semi-auto of some sort.
The Rossi rs22 has got my attention. Any thoughts on it or other suggestions?
Coyotes would an occasional target too.
TIA Why do you need a suppressor on a 22rf? I figured it might help in not alerting the coons to the shot as much if more than one came in at a time. That’s also the desire for an automatic action offering less movement. Might help keep the neighbors from taking as much notice too.

My Ruger American rimfire doesn't have the best stock (flimsy plastic), but it comes suppressor ready, is quiet with my Dead Air Mask, and is accurate and light enough to carry all day.

Why do you need a suppressor on a 22rf? Two reasons: 1. Shooting unsuppressed is uncivilized 2. I have bad tinnitus from the corps

That’s also the desire for an automatic action offering less movement. Might help keep the neighbors from taking as much notice too. Can't help with opinions on the Rossi, but the gold standard of semiauto's is the Ruger 10/22. If you're going to jump through the hoops and expense of getting a suppressor, why cheap out on the host? JMO One problem with a suppressed semiauto however is that what you gain with less movement cycling the action is canceled by more noise. A suppressor won't quiet the noise of the bolt slamming back and forth with the shot. Don't let me dissuade you though, a suppressed .22 of any sort is a grin and it will keep the neighborhood quieter
