Quietest .22 Rimfire - need to be covert.
Eric The Dog replied to dadioles's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
hi in response to your question then theres not a great deal of difference, we had together a dm80/sak/jet-z/parker hale/ and put on the end of my brno and put 5 rounds down with each silencer on and the quietest to us was the jet-z but it was close with the dm80 so ive put that on the .17 now, that was using subsonic ammo -
Ha that makes two of us then mate as i bought the bipod and the locator and paid last week, recieved it today and ive ended up with an 8'' locator!!!

mk1 15'' locator,collar and nets
Eric The Dog replied to Eric The Dog's topic in Optics and Night Vision
you still got them Sorry no longer for sale -
perhaps go with a .22lr and a 22 hornet or .17wmr/hmr to start with and progress from there to the centrefires after a bit of use and experience.

For your first FAC you are only going to get rimfire. Go for .22lr, ask for HMR. TBH, if you ask your FEO for a .223 as a first gun, he might decide that you know so little about firearms that you should not have a ticket at all. Frankly, I agree. Go for FAC air to start with. Ric just to note that our situations, experience and qualifications might be very different but i was granted a .22/.17/.222/.243.308 all on first aplication. within the last 5 years so it is possible to get what you want first time!

I think alot of people are getting me wrong as the way i wrote the post wasn't too clever , my .17hmr is for rabbiting but occasionaly whilst out you come across foxes! there not the best tool for the job granted and i use a .222 for foxes but the hmr can in the right hands kill foxes past 100 yards! on the military full bore range are club uses theres blokes that can get 4-5 inch groups with the hmr's back at 300yds weather permitting that is, anyway sorry for going off of db's main topic with these posts,
-
yeah the hmr's, im guessing your not a fan of them! i personally find them a good round but useless if its windy! was a fan till i found that many a fox would not play dead when it was shot further than -90yds away.so i stopped shooting foxes with the hmr but if you can kill them at 180yds with the hmr then your a better man than me.i will stick to what i know works in the real world. fair enough each to there own, i tend to use a proper tool for foxes anyhow but you never no when one might pop out! and as for the real world the old man can head shot rabbits at 150 with his sako qua

sorry db thought you were talking about the .17 in general rather than the rem!

Go with a .17 mate as for starters there not a centrefire and secondly for a rabbiting/foxing round then that fat cased and tiny little bullet does aworth while amount of damage in the right hands, ive shot and seen foxes shot out to 180yds stone dead so that little bullet packs a punch. the only downside with them for the rabbits is you cant reduce the sonic crack of it, yes theres some good silencers but none of them reduce the noise too much because of the speed of the bullet! anyway its your choice and listen to people who have used this calibre. ANDY F what a load of sheite yo
