Who knew you could spend $1000 on a bipod!!

I can teach you how to spend a lot more on a 22

The latest addition to the peterk123 family. Tikka t1x, the baby brother to my tikka 308. Hopefully the silencer I got for it will be out of jail in a few days.

Now my wife will not have to share her bergara with me anymore.

On how efficient a silencer is on 22- at Sig there was a guy shooting a 22 pistol with a silencer. The shot was louder with my active earmuffs on than without them. Very very quiet. In comparison a well sorted out silencer on a 223 rifle even when firing a subsonic round is… almost just as loud as without one at least to me. So yeah- suppressed 22 is … very quiet- about as loud as a weak hand clap.

What did you choose for this can? Another Elite Iron? or something different?

Same one. It got approved yesterday. Three business days, not bad!

This is how quiet it is. It's perfect for varmints.

I took my rimfire can out for some fun last weekend. My experience so far is that it seems to foul my barrel faster and accuracy falls off after maybe 200-250 rounds. More importantly, my velocity went up around 30fps and my ES opened up from 'teens to about 30fps. I was still able to repeatedly hit an 8" circle off a shmedium gamechanger at 300yds when the wind was consistent.

Initial impressions...quiet, ton of fun, looks cool, probably not accurate enough for serious competition use due to the inconsistent velocities. Unsure if this happens to be my particular can or if they're all like this, but it stands to reason this may be an unavoidable consequence of how a suppressor works and the slow and tiny rimfire projectile. Regardless, no regrets.

Sexy sniper legs on that bad larry.

Picked up my can for the tikka today. Went straight to the fields to test it out on some gophers. Spectacular setup. Gun is very accurate. Gophers out to 90 yards were toast. 37 dropped today with the rifle. Ordered a limbsaver pad for the stock so it will fit exactly my t3x.

A .223 with subsonic ammo is nearly useless. The bullets are so small and light that they are scarcely better than a .22 LR.

In fact, Aguila makes a subsonic .22 LR that uses a huge 60 gr bullet. Basically the equivalent to a subsonic .223. But in .22 LR.

And yes. suppressed .22 is quiet.

I was playing around with all my various combinations the other day and decided to try
1) my bergara B14R (bolt guns are quieter than semi autos)
2) my only .22 can.
3) CCI .22 QUIET ammo. This ammo sounds suppressed out of an unsuppressed rifle.

The combo was RIDICULOUSLY quiet. How quiet? Dropping the bolt on my 10/22 registered louder on my iPhone software noise meter than firing this round out of this rifle.

Gosh, now I want to go shoot my suppressed 455. My favorite is when the light is right and I can see the bullet arcing through the scope to the target. Usually a chipmunk.
