killer_pigeon Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 sorry if this subject has been done already, i did look through previuos posts but couldnt find what i was looking for I have just got some permission to shoot but the owner has horses. she was just worried that the sound may spook the horses as they are rescue horses and have had an poor upbringing. Rather then risk losing the permission by arguing i think i may but a mod for the job instead I have a spare slot for a MOD for my .22LR . I have a heavy Varmint barrel so the over barrel ones are a bit tight and barrel scratching, any opinions please, i want a "phut" sound and no crack if possible. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I use a SAK, which makes my .22lr unbelievably quiet. ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 As above. I also use a SAK, but I also have a Parker Hale, which is brilliant, if not a bit heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killer_pigeon Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 is that SAK the £35 aluminium one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I use a carbon fibre one, which is quieter than a SAK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy. Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 what is make and model please ? I would genuinely tell you if I knew...! I bought it from Broomhills for my airgun and thought it'd sit well on the rimmy... Turned out to be the best sound mod I could find. I'll hunt round and try and find a make/model.

Billy. Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 This isn't my pic, but this is it. It has perfectly flat ends, not like others that are either curved or have a gradient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Have a SAK on my CZ452 .22LR and it's best described as a click rather than a phut. To be honest it's not much different from dry firing it. This is with Winchester Subs, CB Longs were even quieter but you won't get the range or accuracy out of them. I did have an opportunity to fire off a few rounds without the SAK on the other day, just out of interest and it's remarkable what a good job the little SAK does. Also as mine is only a 16" barrel, without a SAK on it won't stand up in the cabinet properly as it's too short to reach to rack. Think I paid about £20 for mine, second hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 PARKER HALE ALL THE WAY might not be the most fashionable of mods but on my cz452 and winchester subsonic rounds works perfectly very quiet sauer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 The theoben vortex thats on my Voere is the quietest moderator I have almost heard! I also have a Parker Hale, SAK and Walther mod but none come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 SAK, Parker Hale, JLS Stalker, they will all do the job on a .22lr. One may be slightly better than the rest but there's not a lot in it. I've used all of the ones I listed, they will be fine for your needs so just grab whatever the shop has in.

6br Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 you can silence a.22rf all you like, but I think the impact noise is more the problem the thud of them 40gr bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true. The impact noise is a lot louder than the report. I shot a trapped Fox a while ago with my .22lr, I was amazed how loud it was when I was stood right next to it!

Lez325 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 SAK or Scirroco would be my choice Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyblanco Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Most mods offer much the same in noise reduction, I found the sako slightly better than the sak but hardly indistinguishable. I agree the thwack of the impact limits multiple shots and have had more doubles and triples with the HMR. You are not going to upset the horses with either the report or the impact if you keep a reasonable distance, my biggest worry is bouncing one into the next field and wounding a horse so on the occasions I have shot in stables the horses are always away for the night.

Dekers Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 As most have sort of suggested, you can put almost anything you like on the end of a .22lr with Sub Sonic ammo!! The propellant crack will be reduced dramatically, there is no sonic boom, but a 40g with a big Hollow Point can crack/thud a fair bit on arrival!!

bicykillgaz Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 i've used logun, parker hale and the sako i've got on it now and my old man had a jls but the sako is the quietest one out the lot and only £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazza Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 sirocco sm11 does it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 As has been said by several members already, most mods are very much the same on sound reduction when fitted to a .22LR. My personal choice is either a SAK which works very well and is quite effective or as an alternative the Parker Hale is a good mod that can be easily stripped down for cleaning and is very reasonably priced but can be a little "end heavy". (I got my Parker Hale new for £25.00) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 sirocco sm11 does it for me. yup that's the one. can get it for under £50 and reduces sound better than the <£100 wildcat whisper. I think it looks very neat on the heavy barell too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
