Ya know..To heck with the airguns

I'd just go buy a suppressor and put it on a 22. Shoot regular velocity ammo and it won't make a lot of noise anyway. Ain't cheap..but like a submarine..runs silent LOL

Actually the old CB Cap is the cheapest way to go. The longer the barrel the quieter they are. If you use a full length 22 rifle barrel they are about as quiet as a suppressed 22 LR.

I keep meaning to mount a 16 inch barrel I already have, after I thread it, on a 500X action I already have. I just keep putting it off, because I found a decent X barrel. But I do not like the X series. Rem lost their mind and attempted to go cheap on a fine shooting 22 series gun.

Getting of track

Seems like we went from talking about airguns to firearms. Hmmm?

Sorry about that. I am surely not into the newer airguns. I used many different ones in the past and really did kinda stick with the Sheridan. I do have one not many have heard of though. A Kessler. Something like a Sheridan too though. Works just fine and made in the 50s..Like my Sheridan that I got from My father in law. I think airguns have a bit of use in countries that don't allow their citizens to own REAL firearms. Otherwise where I live not much use for them....even though I do have a few. Heck where I live I don't even have much use for a suppressor LOL!!

For closer range AG shooting, I am favoring the Crosman 13XX pumpers. I have three, two in .177 (pistol and carbine) and one in .22 (carbine). Much more scope friendly. The higher you go in velocity, the noisier it becomes. I don't shoot my springers much anymore.
