Most effective rimfire suppressor .22lr
On a bolt action .22lr, has anyone here had different models of suppressors so that they can give comparative feedback on different models. I currently have a warrior , its easy to clean, has a simple baffle design, seems effective enough. But I have nothing to compare it too.

Re: Most effective rimfire suppressor .22lr
Im a huge fan of ASE Utra SL5. Have them on my 308 and 222. In January I bought a ASE 22lr Silencer. You can take it apart and clean the discs inside. I use on my Ruger Mark 4 and Sako 22lr. Its really very effective and reducing sound.

Re: Most effective rimfire suppressor .22lr
I shot my ASE Dual rimfire for the first time today and I can say I am very happy with the performance.
Got it as a replacement for my A-TEC wave, as I was looking for something I can open and clean. with how dirty .22 is, I would think a sealed unit would eventually "fill up" with gunk
The Dual is R1794 but they do an ECO one for R1265 the main difference being that the Eco is made from aluminium and has a single core baffle system. where the Dual is steel with 18 seperate baffles.
The Eco should be easier to take care of seeing as it's a single core, the separate ones are bit fiddly. but I saw the Dual baffles looked like they were made from thick steel stamping, and the edges where a bit rough. I sanded the edges and smoothed them down, and now sliding in the baffles and assembling it is worlds easier.
Was looking at the Eco model, but decided to go for the steel one instead as I think steel will last longer idk
Looking at what my A-TEC cost (R900) and the price of the ASE ECO (R1265), which you can strip and clean, I would go for the ASE every day.
PS I think it tightened my grouping my a small amount, but certainly did not hurt it
Bought mine from Danie Joubert at Freeborn Arms and got tier one service

Re: Most effective rimfire suppressor .22lr
I have an Ase Eco and it works like a charm, it is aliminium and has a mono core so cleaning is much easier and it is very light. I contacted Ase Utra and they are perfectly fine to use with high velocity ammo if them being made out of aliminium worries you. Got mine from EuroOptic Africa.

Re: Most effective rimfire suppressor .22lr
I do not believe a .22 silencer warrants much debate, there is so little to be suppressed, the cheapest does 95 % of the job and the rest of the better fill the last 5 %, not much of a gain scenario.
I have made .22 silencers from swim pool piping to .308 silencer reamed with electrical conduit. There is very little volume to suppress.
I settled in latter years on the slip type with grub screws and piece of plastic to save barrel getting scratched.

I don’t believe this to be the case in my experience. I’ve shot a .22LR where i could only hear the hammer hitting the rim , shot with subsonic ammo and an impressive suppressor, I have yet to get my rifle on my entry level suppressor to shoot anything close (using the same subsonic).
On my .308 I use a decent brand suppressor, takes off a good Amount of sound and recoil, works well for my purpose, however I’ve shot a 308 with a fancy numenor , noticeable difference.

Re: Most effective rimfire suppressor .22lr
Problem is. A silencer/suppressor is not just a tube with baffles in. You need to also understand and sound waves. The chambers inside should also not be same size. As they should be spaced in away so to break the sound waves as they form. A sound wave goes up and down. And you need to have baffle just before the peak and then in next chamber sound wave will differ from first. It should then be the correct size to accomadate this wave. So its not just a case of making a silencer with a ton of baffles. There is alot of science that goes into it as well to have it effecive.
