The lowly 10/22 I bought at age 18 back in 2002 is now one of my absolute favorite guns to shoot.
Not long after I got it, I put a Hogue stock and heavy match barrel on it. (Adams & Bennett from Midway… remember those?). It’s always been an accurate rifle, but has mostly been ignored over the years. Fast forward to now. We have three boys, 10, 10, and 12, and they all love to shoot, especially .22s. Had to order a DA Mask with these quick turnaround times. Took 27 days. While we waited, I had that Ruger threaded and ordered a better scope setup, complete with new rings and base. It’s so damn quiet it’ll make you giggle like a fool. Golf balls, empty shotgun shells, clay pigeons, tiny steel plates, nothing is safe.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached FileDoes ok on paper at 100, but the clay birds are more fun at 100.  Attached FileMuch better at 50yds of course. You could hit a quarter with each shot without much trouble. Of course, no pics of the 50yd targets. You’ll just have to believe me LOL. Scope is a Hawke rimfire with a reticle that is spot on so far between the 50yd and 100yd positions. Blurry pic from the web:  Attached File |

What are you using for ammo with it? Anything subsonic? I have been using Aguila subsonics. .22's with silencers are stupid fun. It's a wonder how I ever put up without one.

Suppressed .22 is some of the best fun on a gun range you can have. I need more .22 silencers.

I may or may not have been letting the kids play with my chronograph in the backyard with Nerf darts and airsoft guns, and may or may not have “calibrated” the chrono with this thing and saw 1041 fps from that Norma. I love Mini-Mags, but they don’t do well through this rifle. CCI standard does well though. |

My Ruger American Rimfire with a Magpul RLS sling and Dead Air Mask is my most favorite firearm. I have a couple steel targets set up 60 yards from my back deck, one of which is a 4 inch gong and makes for quite the challenge as I just shoot it open sights with the fiberoptic front post. Bought a scope for it when I ordered the gun and never put it on as it's way too much fun as is. Especially with the 15 round Ruger mags.

My 10/22 takedown with Magpul Hunter X-22 stock, Leupold 1-4, Specter II SWR suppressor. I had the rifle Cerakoted because I really didn't like the bright blue finish that Ruger put on it.

20ish years back I had an M11/9 and a giant Bowers CAC9 suppressor on it. I sold the SMG some time later and kept the can. I sent the giant Bowers can back to Bowers and had them install a 1/2x28 mount and a .22 endcap. I SBR’d a 10/22 and put my Bowers can on it. It was silly quiet. One day at the range some old man was so taken aback and impressed that he offered crazy money despite it being cheaper to build his own. So 2 transfers and a year later it was gone and I regretted it since the day I said yes. Just seeing it in my safe made me sad while it was waiting for the stamps.
I have more modern suppressors now but I still miss that. I should build that setup again. ETA: I still use an AAC Ranger II on my 77/22. It’s crazy quiet too. If you’re willing to use a huge volume suppressor or dedicate a 556 can to a .22 you can get impressive results. |

so I love my Ruger american rimfire just shooting it normal, I've never owned a can before and want to get one, either for it or for something else, but I think the 22 would be most practical, however I have a question. are suppressors generally better on semi autos vs bolt guns? is there much of a difference? I figure with the bolt gun I can run a much wider range of ammo, including 22 shorts if stacked on top of 22 lr (I've tried it and it works in the 10/22 rotary mag this way)
what are soom good suppressed rounds to use for iit? I avoid aguila, I bought one of midsouth shooters 2000rd bundles for $100 deals, and that ammo was crap, 40gr super extra, thee cases would have to be manually extracted as they expanded so much the exttractor on the rifle wouldn't pull me out, yet it pull any other type of ammo casing out no problem. I've also had chambrig issues with some of aguilas JHP 9mm ammo |

Letting the fouling from just this one type of ammo get all up in it. That said, I’m wiping everything else without disassembling. This Norma ammo is pretty waxy. No malfunctions so far in 500 rounds. But I’ll be on the lookout. Just Ruger 10 round factory mags for now. |

Liberty Pinnacle II  Gemtech Mist TD  And an HTA (now out of business)  The rifle that has the Liberty barrel on it now is a 10/22 I’ve had for 30 years. Everything but the receiver and bolt has been swapped over the years. I guess technically it’s the same rifle…. |
