So my .22 Sparrow SS finally got out of jail this week and i dont own anything to put it on!  I need a good rifle and pistol host and am soliciting opinions.  I was looking at the Savage MKII for a rifle and the Ruger 22/45 lite or M&P 22 for pistol.  Im just planning on plinking and teaching my boy to shoot (one day) so i am looking for fun/reliable hosts.

And for those that are interested, i submitted the Form 4 on July 22 )2013), it was approved April 25, and the paperwork landed in Dawsonville two days ago.  Way too long IMO, but what can ya do?

Cool deal. I picked up a Tirant 45 today, but I filed at the end of November.  

The savage is hard to beat.  Really is.  My favorite rifle host right now is the Browning T- bolt, but you can but 2-3 of the savages for what the browning costs.

On the handgun without getting custom and wierd I'd toss my vote in fir the M&P or a buck mark.  Ruger .22 pistols are dead to me.  

You'll be happy with the sparrow on the long gun.  On the handgun you'll notice a bit of FRP on the first 2-3 rounds but it calms down after that.

Good choices for 22 suppressed - you can't go wrong with any of those three. I have a Ruger 22/45 Lite Mk III with a Volquartsen accurizing kit wearing a Burris Fast Fire III. Great, fun and accurate pistol. I also have a M&P 22. I shoot both of these suppressed. The Savage is as quiet as they come suppressed - will make you smile with subsonic 22.

I have a Sparrow SS and use it on my Ruger 22/45 threaded barrel (not the Lite) which I love. My Ruger came from Barrow NAPA and Guns, factory threaded with high adjustable sights. I added some cool VZ grips. a VQ Mark II trigger kit, and a filler strip for the removed ECI, plus did the "slingshot" mod. So now it is a Mark II, basically, with a good trigger. Everyone who shoots it loves it. I took it to the "S Monroe County" HTF get together recently, and a lot of y'all shot it. I love it.

For a pistol I like my Buckmark

I enjoy my MK3. My only gripe is that it's a pain to takedown and clean.

My Sig 522 will shortly host my next silencer purchase.

I use my Sparrow on a Savage MKII, Ruger 22/45 and M&P 22. The Savage bolt action is super quiet with subsonics. The M&P 22 is easier to clean than the Ruger, but both work well with the Sparrow.

These guns are as tough to find as the ammo that goes through them!

I have an M&P 15-22 with an integral suppressor from Innovative Arms in SC.  AMAZING.  Highly recommended!

Used a buck mark, love the gun but not as a host. Now I use an M&P22. It's perfect.
