22 creed suppressor

[Billdoe]

Looking for a suppressor for a 22 creed. 18 inch barrel. What are you guys using? Hunting rig.

 

[Scottyboy]

Nano from Airlock…but you’ll have to wait/be quick when they are ready.

I’ve been pleased with my OG6.5 on my 22cm, but am very very anxious to get my nano for this particular rifle.

 

[MtnMuley]

I have an Airlock Nano that should be ready anyday now for my 18" 22 Creed.

 

[Q_Sertorius]

I’m waiting on an Airlock Nano for my 22” .22-250 and 16” .223.

 

[ChrisAU]

Been using a DD Wolf Hunter for a couple years now on my 16.5” and it’s been great. I hope to one day have a Nano for it.

I’m getting a Reaper 6.5
I want maximum suppression.

Down the road I’ll get the Reaper in a reflex model. That’ll be the Ultimate Set up

 

[Stache Attack]

Nano would be the Best Buy for a 22creed IMO. I shot it in a 22acr and was very impressed!

 

[Huntnpack 2]

Best suppression currently is 6.5 can. IMO
18” 22 creed is a bit different than the smaller .22’s

If I were getting a new can, I'd probably be looking at an Airlock 6.5 or Reaper.

My 22 Creeds sounds great through my .30 cal Gunwerks 8ights and Scythe Ti. I'm sure a 6.5 suppressor (and below) would probably be better.

Seems the suppression might be a little worse through a 6.5 can, but def smaller size and weight.

Ran outside city limits for a quick test. The meter was acting a little funny and threw a few random high numbers during testing. I was short on time, but here are some quick 3-shot averages from a 16" .22 Creedmoor.

The Nano did throw one random 137 dB (skewing the average) reading that seems off, but I’m sharing the numbers regardless.
ZG 30 - 129.8 dB(A)
ZG 6.5 – 128.6 dB(A)
Harvester Evo – 133.2 dB(A)
Nano – 135.5 dB(A)

I’ll repeat the test later, not in a canyon on the side of the road.

Here’s an example from above test sample
Same gun, 4 different suppressors:
6.5 lowest at 128.6. = fairly quiet
22 can at 135.5 = mmmmm?

You be the judge. Remember dba numbers are not linear.

My opinions & non professional random thoughts
From a maximum suppression perspective:

What we need in the market is a suppressor optimized for the larger cartridges in a given caliber.
Not the opposite as in a 22 can for small 22 cases being utilized by the larger 22’s
Or 30 cal cans being utilized for smaller calibers

Do they work ? Yes ….but not optimal.

Sometimes the trade offs in the current market place are choosing between a can marketed as either Hunting, Light weight, short, small, large, quietest, etc.

The search continues.

I know manufacturers are working to provide these currently, & hope to see more options available to the consumer

I think you misunderstood my post.

Larger cans TEND to be quieter on smaller calibers than smaller cans that are bore diameter for that specific caliber. The tradeoff is size and weight.

 

[Huntnpack 2]

agree. I was just making some observations.
Ultimately I’d like to see that same 6.5 can engineered specifically from the ground up
for a 22 internal bore size, baffling, end cap
& see how that compares.

I included that unusually high, random dB reading earlier for the sake of transparency, but after revisiting it I don’t believe it was an accurate. I just re-metered a Nano against three full-size .30 caliber suppressors, including an Ultra 7, and it was quieter than all of them except our own ZG 30. Host rifle was a 16” 22 Creedmoor.

 

[Huntnpack 2]

Then is it safe to say that the larger bore cans are not optimized for 22 & are allowing more gases to escape thus making them louder even tho they have more volume. ?

Would a larger volume can optimized for 22 compare favorable to the nano. ?

Your 6.5 can showed favorable results in comparison,

Earlier when I inquired into a recommendation for the same 18” 22 creed I believe your response was your 6.5 or the 30 for maximum suppression.

I run a TBAC Magnus on my 22 creedmoor

Yes, you do lose some efficiency when running an over bore suppressor on a smaller cartridge. They’re typically still quieter than smaller .22 suppressors, but that’s mostly because volume becomes a bigger factor than efficiency.

Our 6.5, for example, is about as quiet as our .30 on a .22 Creed. That’s because it has more volume than the Nano, but less overbore than the .30.

With that said, the Nano is king when it comes to extremely small size/volume and weight. For how small it is, it’s incredibly efficient. If we made a 6.5-sized suppressor bored for .22 Creed, it would be quieter.

 

[Huntnpack 2]

Thx. Build that 6.5 sized can bored for 22.

What kind of numbers did the Nano and the 30 show this time around on the 22 creedmoor?
