borich Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 My local gun shop has advised me the stoeger x20 silencer is not worth the money ( gun is 99). I will be taking a x20 out tom unslienced to see how I fair with the rabbits. What's your thoughts on this? Silencer or not.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The X20 silencer is a quiet gun, the mechanics can be tuned to make it even quieter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borich Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Went out last night shooting the X20 with no silencer and a friend had a smk xs78 with silencer. Comparing them both together the X20 was just too damn loud. Therefore I need a decent silencer for the X20. Now the guy in the shop states that the one comes with X20 it is no good. therefore whats your opinons on the silencer issue. Borich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) You mean the X20 Suppressor as opposed to the X20 ? The X20 Suppressor seems quieter at the muzzle compared to another couple of air rifles that I have, and manufacturers website shows the comparative db levels of its different models, But theX20 gun itself IS a real 'clunker' Edited September 18, 2012 by TaxiDriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know someone who does / has done this ? As I said above, the muzzle report might well be quiet but the gun itself is a real CLUNKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasterjudd Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Your best bet buy a pcp as its really not worth spending any money on an X20 sorry but thats the truth and as the x20 shroud is a cocking tool on this gun and not meant to be a silencer stick with it or sell it! Not being funny but you will benefit by buying a pcp as they dont really lose their value and are more in demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh by the way before you ring him make sure you have been to the toilet, got a hot drink, a plate of sandwhiches, somewhere comfortable to sit, he can go on for hours, really knows his stuff! A Woodfield tuned gun is a superb rifle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
