We're getting 113db from a 10/22 with a couple of mods like a nylon buffer and whatever kind (I really don't remember, KIDD maybe) bolt and trigger. You can slow and soften that bolt enough to make them as quiet as a bolt gun. I seened it.Another fan of Nonliberal 's wares - but if you want hollywood you'll need a bolt or pump rifle with subs.
But there are plenty of other pistol hosts that you will enjoy for years to come! Maybe not hollywood but definitely ear safe and in most cases quieter than a pellet gun!
