My little daughter is 3 months old and turning out like Dad. She only cries when bored. If I have to look after her we walk around for hours in the push chair. I think it needs a rifle scabbard so we can menace a few rabbits in the process.
What is the quietest combo of suppressor/subs? I am looking at either a new bolt action (as I am not threading my anschutz) or maybe a lever gun.
The lever gun is a PITA to get done unless it is like a Ruger with the box mag. The tube is in the way have to take the silencer off to reload as well as probably costing more to get threaded. I have a lever and would like to shorten it and do just that but unless I could do it all myself I wouldn't want to pay for it.
If you are buying another one you could cheap out and get a norinco jw15 with a silencer. with a little bit of work they are meant to be perfectly acceptable.
I always used Winchester/kilwell hushpowers but I see a few here like the CCi subs. Comes down to what the rifle likes really.
As I shoot for pleasure I will leave the old jw15 in the safe, though I can't fault it.Quote:

There is a nice Voere on tardme. The only one I bought was stuffed and I took it back.
Tikka T1X
DPT with two extra baffles
CCI HP SV. 1070 FPS
50m zero

There are some slip on ones and if you cant find one you can make one. This way you can use your annie without threading it, but it does mean you dont get to buy another gun.
A reasonable Norinco would be great. Shorten the barrel so it is a suppressor shorter than your Annie and then you will find it similar to what you are used to.
Pretty sure if I stand well in front of her with a well suppressed .22 it should be fine. Mum is on the lookout for earmuffs. Better than my old mans shotgun from when I was a kid anyway.Quote:

I had a Thompson R55 I never should have sold. It was threaded, it would be perfect. Magazines were impossible to get.
I am now searching for Ruger 66/22
The DPT plus extra baffels sounds perfect. Have not looked at a Tikka T1 yet.
T3 bedding footprint? T3 accessories? How cool is that!Quote:

It is quiet with most subs. Very quiet. A plop sound and most of that is coming back from the target end.
I tried the cci Quiet ammo recently.
Amazingly quiet @750ish fps iirc.
But it was a good 4-6" drop from my 50 zero with the cci suppressor I use normally.
Anything in between also required some thought as I shot over the intended target a lot. Very frustrating with no time.
I re zeroed it the other day with my normal cci suppresor ammo.
Might be a bad batch as they were inconsistent to say the least.
You could hear the difference and watch some of the projectiles on their way to the target and drop out of the group.
Normally very accurate and consistent.

I found the 10/22 for you . Mount it on top of the pram. Problem solved.:D
I should expand my original post so it makes sense. I have an Anschutz I paid $1000 for second hand in working condition. It is one of the expensive ones, but someone put it to good use. I have continued with that. It has changed my attitude to rifles. It has some magic inside it where anything you shoot at dies. What do you get for all that money over a normal .22, even tuned up? I have no idea but it works.
I am not going to butcher the Anschutz, I will re-finish it one day. I am wondering if there is a similarly elegant machine a lot cheaper I can hack the end of and suppress. I will cut it to a length that matches the original balance pre-suprression.
I assume the Ruger lever gun is rare as hens teeth? It would be perfect.
What is this?

Whatever it is, it will be a crime to chop the end off, but I want a hack around gun for the farm that is super quiet for bub, that is still really nice to shoot.
I have a .22 air rifle that goes faster than that. Might actually be a good idea though. More than enough to shoot a few bunnies at close range.Quote:

It's not the first batch of cci suppressor ammo I have noticed with issues.
Their standard velocity is almost sub sonic but the most consistent I have tried over the chrony by far.

Did some digging on the Cogswell-apparently its a rebadged CZ455 with a stock selected by cogswell. is it the same money as one of them? Otherwise nothing wrong with it.
That Voere would be nice and suggest its priced ok, but don't see enough of them around to know for sure.
Both threaded so that parts done-no hacking that end.
Not making left handed actions yet....Quote:

I really like mine , obviously its not suppressed as this is my Australia rimfire .
Tim all you need is a bolt action with a good supressor and subs
The bullet hitting the target is louder than the shot itself
@Tussock this would be perfect

These are quiet. Wonder if they use Trail Boss.

She's only three months old, she'll be doing a lot more crying soon don't worry about that. Just wait.
I wouldn't go shooting any rifles around a baby. They are like antlers and still have the velvet on at that age. She won't get hard for a while yet.
How about having your Rifle threaded internally?
Someone paid extra to have my 10/22 internally threaded and an adaptor made for the can.
Failing that,the .22 with the longest barrel you can find,plus a can on the end?
Or a regular length Rifle with the can wrapped in a wet tea towel that has been left in the freezer over night.
A very good mate of mine is a professional shooter (goats) he shoots round home aswellQuote:

Grandma and grandpa also shoot and so dose great grandpa
So plenty of people to look after the babies
At the range they do keep them well away from the fireing line though
But they don’t even flinch they are just so used to it
Knowing their dad there wouldn’t be a day where they didn’t hear a gunshot or 2
22 subs and a 22 magnum suppressor. All you hear is a click at your end. The biggest noise is the thud when the projectile stops.
And congrats on the little one.
You have twins, so I frequently think of you, and wonder how one does that.Quote:

Peltor do earmuffs for kids, I’ve got a few sets and they’re great.
@Carlsen Highway is right of course. However, I have a 30sqm house and a 150 hectare back yard and no TV, so wandering about the place will continue to be our preferred pass time I suspect. She will not be three months old for long. I had her out wandering around at dusk yesterday and she started laughing. I guess she likes when the sun buggers off for a minute. I quite like the idea of menacing the odd rabbit and hare, but only if I can get out in front of her a bit. Pretty sure the pressure of subs would still damage tiny ears.
Plan is a set of these

And the configuration @7mmsaum described because he clearly hates my bank balance. I will keep the full length in the barrel and put the extra baffled DPT on it, unless I see a similar rifle I like.
Cheers guys.
LOL.Quote:

You just wouldnt want her to become afraid of loud noises. It wouldd be an impediment to becoming the Siberian Olympic shooting champion. But with my bolt action .22 and a silencer, with Win subs it literally is just the click of the firing pin and the bullet impact. That would be alright.Quote:

The pressure wave of a car door being closed would be much much more than my wee model 2 with a big can on it. I can hear the firing pin bounce. Get a shit old bolty, lop it to 763mm, put a big arse anything can on it. Don't put tassles on the damn scabbard either or people will talk :XD:Quote:

Seems to kill ok, my longest shot was a head shot on a rabbit at 39m.
I had a suppressed Magtech .22. My bro didn't know
i had fired if he didn't see me . This standing beside me looking elsewhere.
Most 22lr with subs and a suppressor you will only hear the firing pin
