Feed it CCI standard velocity 40gr and it'll be a very fun and quiet shooter

Second this recommendation, I have this B Series FV SR in .22 Mag with a SiCo Sparrow and absolutely love that gun and can combo. It's a shooter for sure! Stays in my pickup at all times.

OP, buy with confidence!

Does standard velocity break the sound barrier? It was my understanding that if it does it has the loud crack even with a suppressor.

NM, I stand corrected. Though std velocity can still go supersonic with a longer barrel.

No. Standard velocity is subsonic.

Sorry I don't know how I replied to the wrong guy

I've never had a standard velo jump supersonic out of my fvsr with the can on. And that's through dry cold nights to hot af and humid days. I don't think the 16.5in barrel can get there, or at least not without the right conditions which I haven't experienced in the 10 years with my set up.

Up to 22" barrel (the longest 22 I own) CCI SV remains below 1080 fps. In shorter barrels3-4" it is louder due to unburnt powder at muzzle velocities as low as 850 fps.

My recommendation for the original question is M&P 15-22 pistol (8" barrel) or carbine (16" barrel), or 10/22. I find the 15-22 more reliable without tuning, and the magazines are easier to load. Bolt gun would be Ruger American, or CZ457 if you can pick up the American model on the cheap.

Get a cheap silencer, as they all perform pretty much the same. What the extra money gets you is exotic materials and reduced first round pop, which is not that big a deal for most people.

Optic- get a Primary Arms Classic red dot, or an economy rimfire scope.

Here's Dubi's 15-22p with $200 HTA silencer. This is a registered SBR. The Aimpoint H2 doesn't work any better than the PA Classic red dot



And my CZ457 which slightly exceeds the $600 budget
