My Marlin 25 puts three Remingt9n subsonics in 3/4" at 50 yards from bench. (The 1:16 twist barrel shoots Aguila SSS 60 gr into a pie plate group at 50 yards. Aguila SSS groups best from 1:9 twist barrel.)<BR/><BR/>After you read Tossing Rocks you may consider using subsonics. http://www.jesseshunting.com/articles/guns/category16/66.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/SelfLoading/60.asp<BR/>Mod 60 semiauto 22LR only, 19" bbl :16 twist 14 LR in tube<BR/> <BR/>http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/BoltAction22/981T.asp<BR/>981T bolt 22 sort, long or LR 22" bbl 1:16 twist<BR/>Tubular magazine holds 25 Short, 19 Long or 17 Long Rifle cartridges.<BR/><BR/>http://www.marlinfirearms.com/Firearms/BoltAction22/925r.asp 1:16 twist<BR/>925R bolt 22LR only, 7 shot box mag, 22" bbl<BR/><BR/>I quote from Mel Tappan Survival Guns page 177<BR/>"..in a barrel 22" or longer, the CCI CB cap is almost totally silent. At a distance of 8 feet from the muzzle of my 24" Anschutz, the sound level from firing was only 9db, and at 15 feet it was totally inaudible. Not only does this lack of noise make the CCI long CB caps desireable for indoor or backyard target practice, it makes them virtually a necessity for survival use should you ever need to do some shooting without attracting attention or alarming game in the neighborhood."<BR/><BR/>I saw a CZ452 Lux 28.6" barrel 22LR the other day.<BR/>http://www.cz-usa.com/product_detail.php?id=3<BR/>I wonder how quiet that is with subsonics.<BR/><BR/>PS squirrels and other greedy little freeloaders will visit your feeder often. They will be there when you need them for the soup pot.vladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434296343159953900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291961545993258201.post-48743886313565729592009-01-26T07:57:00.000-08:002009-01-26T07:57:00.000-08:00Alas, mine is a stocker, and will likely remain th...Alas, mine is a stocker, and will likely remain that way.
