Thread: Advice on .22magnum

A supressed 223 should be about as loud as the non supressed 22mag.
I have a 17hmr, and the rifle is a fair bit smaller and lighter than my 223, and I feel as though there is less chance of a ricochet.
I could've supressed my 223, but it was hardly anymore to buy a new rifle so that's what I did.

I used to think the 17mach2 was a waste of money. But after looking into it, for rabbits, hares and other pests out to about 130ish yards.
And its a fair bit cheaper than 17hmr or 22mag.

But basically I'd put it down to, do you want a new rifle or not.
It'll be around $500 to have the 223 supressed, so the same cost as buying a 22mag. It'll be a lot better at everything, but unless you reload it'll be more expensive to feed.
