Zero'd new .22 yesterday. Palmetto State Armory had a sale on Ruger 10/22 with threaded barrel and could not resist. That's a AAC Pilot threaded on the end of the Ruger
It's not "movie quiet" but still very good with subsonic rounds. Basically a 'clack' as the bolt cycles and then a pop as the round hits the target.
After getting a zero at 25m (to defend my pecan trees from squirrels and crows)--I did some distance shooting. These subsonic rounds really bloop out there on a ballistic curve so you've got to know your distance and hold over. Nice little Nikon scope designed for .22s but i think it's reticle is set for regular long rifle and not subsonics so it took me a while to figure out shooting out to 100m. Yes there is a tgt out there in this pic--and "no" the subsonic projectiles don't probably go more than 200m so i'm not worried about my neighbor that's about 2miles over that away.
I am going boating next week and plan on taking most, if not all of my firearms with me. But until then my pecan trees are mine and this we will defend!
