Silencer (Moderator) quandary for my Red Wolf

[ronmcc4]

I recently got to purchase a Red Wolf Midnight standard in .22. This rifle has the Safari tune (board) so it is a 45 FPE airgun which is quite different than my standard Pulsar that works great with a DonnyFL Tatsu. I have a Hugget Snipe on the rifle now which is fine for low power (32 FPE) but doesn't quite tame high or medium for back yard use. I've been wondering if the 0db 160 would be a quieter choice for this rifle. I'm a DonnyFL fan but I want something a little flashier for this rifle.

So - is a 0db 160 quieter than a Hugget Snipe?

I shoot my .22 Red Wolf HP at 55 fpe with a 160 Zero dB moderator and its very quiet. Plus accuracy is unaffected.

I also use a 160mm 0dB but on my Impact which is currently tuned to 65Ffpe. It does a super job of lowering the report and looks cool too.

I saw your post on Instagram Mike. Congrats!

Decided to give the 0db a shot. Worst case I'll find out what I already had was the best I can do. Best case, I love the 0db and sell the Hugget.

The long tactical end cap style 0DB looks really nice and balanced on the short barrel Redwolf, when you say standard I presume yours is the 18" version rather than 24" poly?

Pics please!! Where does one acquire a “0db ?

I have several .22's

I somewhat accidently found that some silencers work different on different guns, with similar power.

I have a .22 Prophet. I put a Tatsu on it and shot a couple of magazines. Then for the hell of it, I put my short (110) 0db on it, which is a little longer, but smaller in diameter than the Tatsu. The 0db silencer was notably quieter than the Tatsu. But, on two other guns, the Tatsu and the 0db are very similar in sound..!

Buy'em both and find out what you like best.

I asked elsewhere but I’ll repeat the question here too. I know some people use a silencer a caliber size larger than the rifle to help avoid clipping. I’ve done that myself with some brands but I’ve never used a 0db. Should I get a .25 0db or the .177/.22 size?

22 is fine

On the Red Wolf HO, the Snipe plenty for me on HP, and the most pleasing of the ones I tried, but didn’t try a 0db. In the shorter barrel and high power settings, that rife should be louder than the longer versions. 

How some of these sound on other rifles are not going to help much. Also, I think your ears are going to be the determining factor. I asked people their thoughts, and my thought never seem to mirror others. To me, most of the ones I’ve tried of similar size, haven’t sounded very different at all on the same rifle.

When I bought my new .22 Daystate Wolverine R about a week ago, I bought a OdB mod to go with it. Donnie Reed, of Baker Airguns set me up with a .30 cal 0dB moderator. He said they do that as SOP - provide mod larger the gun's caliber.
