10/22 suppressed or bolt action suppressed 22LR

[UpSideDown]

I love my stainless takedown 10/22. It has the magpul stock where the barrel fits into the stock section and it carries three extra mags in the cheek rest. I leave my suppressor on it full time.

I do think that a bolt gun would be quieter, but I like being able to bring that compact .22 rifle with me and pop a grouse when I come across one. It shoots both subs and supers and is accurate enough at small game red-dot distance.

Savage mk-ii fvsr with a dead air mask here and I’d say the bolt gun is the way to go.

I run cci segmented subsonics through a henry lever action and the loudest part is the hammer falling. After playing around with the subsonics I highly recommend the segmented rounds.

I second this. I shot dozens of squirrels with cci quiet when I was living in dry cabins. The segmented kill better--especially if you do body shots.

I have a Tikka T1x .22 16" barrel with a Rugged Oculus suppressor that I use for squirrel hunting. This is a very accurate setup and a joy to hunt with.

I have and enjoy using both, just depending on my mood. My 10/22 squirrel gun has a 16.5” KIDD lightweight barrel, and so I take that if I’m waking around more. I shoot A LOT of squirrels off my back deck, and typically prefer the bolt gun for that. Mine are all suppressed too.

Also, standard 22 LR ammo IS subsonic, and functions just fine in a 10/22.
