I have a 10/22 stainless with a suppressor and a Leupold FXII handgun scope (long focal point) mounted in a guide forward position and with a TAPCO tactical stock. GREAT gun.
That said, the 25 and 50 round (a double 25) Ruger magazine are a little wieldy. I also have a Marlin 60 tube-fed magazine that functions just as well but isn’t threaded for a suppressor. To tell you the truth, both have their uses and both stack up equally in most accounts, IMO
Subsonic but deadly rounds. And, it can be suppressed to almost silent. With the noise of an uprising, people just seem to fall down until the medics get to them.
I can see where that might be a significant stumbling block for your average rock-throwing "protester"...
Where do you purchase that kind of thing?
I agree. My ONLY complaint about mine (and the weapon in general) is that the action does not remain open after firing the final from a magazine.
I wonder if I can get one of those barrels for mine.
hard to keep your motivation to throw rocks with a 40-grain round in your shin
Same can be said for a 1/4 inch hex nut fired from a wrist rocket. A little harder to aim though.
Personally a 22 cal to the shin will keep them from throwing rocks for a few weeks but I think a 223/5.56 at 28K-30K fps to the chin, oops I meant shin will keep them out of the fight for a long time if not for ever. Oh how political correctness has taken over warfare. Oh, I forgot, that depends on whose side you are on doesn't it.
We used them to shoot out street lights and mirrors in hostage/barricaded situations.
The model 60 tends to be slightly more accurate than the 10/22 and is cheaper.
The 10/22 has a huge number of accessories, I guess more than anything except maybe the AR-15.
Perfect weapon for destroying groundhogs and other vermin ...
.30 to the head will keep them out of action even longer.
I have a Magnum Research .22 Mag 10/22 style rifle with a Leupold 3X9 and it is one of the best rimfire rifles I have ever shot.
My two oldest boys wore there 10/22’s completely out when they were practicing for competition but it must have taken 20-30K rounds.
The suppressed barrels on the Israeli rifles are very very quiet. I am not familiar with that Italian brand but I have heard several others and they all worked great.

If you could hit them in the shin, couldn’t you hit them in the knee?
wouldn’t a knee shot be forever?
I can see where that might be a significant stumbling block for your average rock-throwing “protester”....The .223 was designed to cause lots of wounds to tie up the enemy to serve the wounds, which ties up lots of people, and not kill outright.
That’s true.....I’ve looked into getting the barrel threaded but that’s not a simple thing to get done, IMO.
“And, it can be suppressed to almost silent.”
All you hear is the wailing of the widows in the morning.
