Do you already have the can? If not, whatever you get, you will be smiling like a school when you pull the trigger the first time......
Any decent bolt will be quieter than a semi. I have used a Spectre II, TM Zepher and a GM (forgot model number) with 10/22's, MP 15/22's, CZ452 varmint and a Ruger RAR. The 2 bolt guns win hands down. As far a accuracy goes for me, the CZ wins by a long shot. That being said, the 10/22 has a metric $hit ton of accessories for accuracy you can add later. The MP 15/22 is good choice if you like the AR platform. But for the cheapest entry, I believe the 10/22 might be it. Not sure of price on the factory threaded model. One draw back to a semi is that some subsonic ammo might not cycle it. I have found that CCI SV is damn close to quietness of purpose built sub ammo and cycles everything. For my money, the Gemtech 22 sub ammo is the best and will cycle everything. CCI quiet wont cycle any 22 I own but hands down is the quietest. Be advised that the .22 cans from Silencerco require a .4 inch thread depth. Some guns come with a longer thread, so you would need a spacer. The threaded MP 15/22 is .6, so a .2 inch spacer is required. The spacers a readily available. Do you already have the can? If not, whatever you get, you will be smiling like a school when you pull the trigger the first time......
