Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires what's a good .22 rifle or pistol suppressor?

CCI quiets make my 10/22 a straight pull bolt action.
Inside of 25 yards.............regular old CB in a bolt rig...............in the head.
Do think I shot a couple a 2nd time........as they were flopping where they dropped.
None ever left the drop zone.
Biggest yard varmint maybe a 15# coon.

I have a Gemtech Outback 2D that is plenty quiet, light and handy but is a pain to clean compared to the new designs. Cleaning one should be one of the top priorities when buying one.

Anybody tried the Ruger?

YHM?

3 22lr suppressors here. Gemtech, Griffin, and Silencerco. Honestly, they all perform well with not a lot of difference. I like the Gemtech.It was upgraded to the monocore and easy to clean. If only one, I'd probably keep it. I always shoot standard velocity CCI in my pistols and subs in my rifles. They all shoot well. Very quiet and lots of fun. Once you get a suppressor, expect to never buy another 22 unless it comes with a threaded barrel. Rifles are browning t-bolt and 10/22s and pistols are mostly ruger Mark III and Mark IV.

is a separate permit/tax required for each suppressor, or does one permit cover them all?

200$ tax stamp for each NFA item.

Does anyone have experience with this one or any others made by Rebel Silencers?

A local shop has started carrying them and has great things to say about them. The price is certainly right on all of their models.

i don't have experience with any of the silencers. this one is interesting.

it's just my personal opinion and i could be all wrong, but with the 200.00 dollar tax stamp and the cost of the accessory, there needs to be a good value-added.

my neighbors probably don't want to hear me shoot, nor me them. we have to make adjustments on a day to day basis.

without a tax stamp, and the silencers becoming more competitively priced, i can see them taking over the countryside.

right now, i'm shooting aquina super colibri in a 16 inch barrel zastava. it's not the best, but is cost effective.

If you don't know that by now you're not serious about buying a suppressor.

Uhhh, yeah. You don't have experience with any of it. That's why we're trying to help you.

No.

But I would not want that amount of threads on my suppressor.

Thanks flave! I missed that.

When they get dirty (and believe me the rimfire cans get dirty) they can be a little stubborn to get apart.

Ahhh. The part they don't tell you about when you buy them. Everybody.learns their own little tricks about getting them apart. The answer usually starts BEFORE you do any shooting.

I've found that running my .22 cans a little wet helps a lot.

I had a sonic cleaner I'd throw it in and it helped a lot.

Pondered getting an ultrasonic cleaner but in the end the Octane from Silencerco is easy to dismantle, even when filthy. Relatively easy to clean though a bit time consuming. Easiest cleanup to date came from some black powder loads. Dishwashers rock..........

I run 100-150 rounds between cleanup.

gemtec gm-22 ..........2.5oz .......really like mine

I have 2 of the Thunderbeast 22 takedowns... I like them much better then my Silencerco Sparrows... I use them on both 22lr rifles and pistols as well as a 22 K hornet...

I'm looking at the Dead Air Mask or Thunderbeast Takedown as my next can.

Likewise.



Dead Air Mask is a great can, also. I have 2.
