I placed my deposit on the FX Verminator in .22 cal. a few days ago at AOA and they wanted to know if I wanted to add the Huggett moderator. I forget the exact price they mentioned but it was over $200. I believe FX also sells shroud extensions for about $150 to quiet it down too. My question is and I know this is relative but how loud is the Verminator US version. I would not mind a little bark to the report while hunting squirrels but for rats I would want it pretty quiet. From what I read the barrel is just under 12" and close to the end of the shroud so it might be louder than the typical rifles with longer shrouds. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Bill
