I just ordered a rimfire suppressor. I am looking for the perfect grouse and small game .22. What's your favorite?
Mine must be threaded.
 
My favorite 22...

A cz 452 is a solid choice. I think the current 457 or whatever is of simular quality, just no experience with them.

The ruger rimfire precision is my current 22 supressor host. I don't pack it squirrel hunting per say, I do take it to the feed lot and smack pigeons out to about 200 yds with it.

A savage 93 or I think their b series would be another solid choice.

Tikka, anshutz, volquartsen, and others make really nice 22's. I just view them as more of a target gun than a toss in the truck and run a muck for critters 22.
 
Hard to beat a good ol Ruger 10/22. Especially their new carbon one.
Light as a feather. Accurate too. Or get a takedown backpack model.
 
I am old school still use my old man's model 60. I used it growing up and acquired it when he passed. Currently doesn't have can..I debate getting it threaded, as you have to remove the can to load it, but it does hold 17 in the tube.
