I,ve had suppressors on guns since they became legal in Iowa a few years ago. We did an experiment with my first one which was on a .220 Swift with an 18-inch barrel. From 1/2 mile away it sounded...

I've got a couple .17 Ackley Hornet barrels for Thompson-Center TCR-87's which are longer and one which is 18.5 inches for a suppressor. I think it only lost less than 100 fps compared to the longer...

I see this discussion was a long time ago but I had a similar decision to make around 10 years ago. Back then we had a January rifle season for antlerless deer. I used a TCR-87 with a slow twist...

Volquartsen put a .22 Short barrel on a Ruger 77/22 for me about 20 years ago or so. It has a slower twist but I don't remember the rate and a short chamber. They also altered four rotary magazines...

The coyote was sideways to me and the bullet hit probably just above the heart. Another thing, this .17 AH is suppressed and I think with a suppressed rifle an animal is less likely to run off. With...

A little less than an inch high is a little less than an inch low at 200 yards. So on a coyote it was pretty much a dead on hold. - DON

I killed a coyote with my .17 AH at 205 yards. It squirmed around for a few seconds but did not run off. I've also killed a few others at up to about 150 yards and a fox at about 220 yards so suspect...

I really enjoyed that video. I received my .22 rimfire silencer and an up-to-30 caliber silencer last January. The larger one will mostly be used on a short barreled .220 Swift (40-gr Ballistic tips...
