I have a threaded 10/22 with a poly bolt buffer, and a SilencerCo Stainless Sparrow. If there is anything that comes close to "Hollywood" quiet, this is it. It runs perfectly with CCI Standard Vel. ammo, and will easily kill a groundhog at 50+ yards. The Sparrow also changes the tone of the shot, so that it doesnt sound like a quiet gunshot, but more like a staple gun.

I started out shooting CB ammo, and while very quiet in a rifle length barrel, the energy was very low. They will kill a small critter at 20 yards, but shot placement is absolutely critical, and more times than not, the animal would run away to die somewhere. Thats when I decided to go through the process and get my suppressor.
