Nice looking rifle!!!
How does it shoot?
How much does the suppressor quiet it?

I have an RWS 34 in .25 that's louder than a .22. short in a rifle.

It shoots pretty good , I still gotta fine tune the optics the silencer does
A good job I do think for long range shots it outa have a longer barrel
But most of the time squirrels are 10-15yds so no problem

I picked up one of those a while back. I like it but the trigger could be better.
I have a Wolff spring kit I need to put in it.

Edit:
I put the spring kit in today.
I tried just replacing the trigger return spring with the 8lb Wolff spring. The SA pull dropped from 4lb 12oz to 4lb 2oz. Not quite what I wanted.
I then replaced the stock hammer spring with the 12# Wolff. Being a .22, I didn't want to go any lower and risk misfires. The kit comes with 12, 10 & 9lb hammer springs and 8 & 10lb trigger return springs.
Here's where it sits now. I shot a few cylinders through it to check for misfires and had none. After shooting it for a while, I might try a lighter hammer spring but rimfires are notorious for light strikes with light hammer springs.
I have Wolff springs in almost all of my Ruger DA revolvers. The $10 cost of the kit and 10 minutes it takes to install it is certainly merited.
I haven't had the same luck with Wilson springs.

Picked up one I've been pining after.. 1975 Ruger mark 1 target tapered 7". Just realized I didn't take any pictures of it together, but here's one of the new grips I made tonight and one with out grips.

Those old Rugers are nice guns. The grips look great.

My pap had the bull barrel 10"? Gun and I loved it. I've not seen any of them for sale but this one popped up locally an I jumped on it. It shoots like a Laser beam compared to my 3" barrel model.

Paid $250 for this thing because I thought it looked pretty slick, wasn't expecting much out of it being a cheap import but it is surprisingly accurate with a decent trigger. Haven't put it on paper but 2 woodchucks n this little booger are proof enough for me.

Is that a CZ?
Other than the checkering pattern, it sure looks like one.

Its a hatsan escort I think imported by legacy. It appears it is based off a CZ. I was gonna put a scope on it but it has decent fiber optic sights and shoots well as it is.

Any one on here do any bear hunting (with hounds preferably) I would like to hear all about it.

Some CZ's are made in Turkey, in the past they have also had Zastava of Serbia make rifles for them. So, the resemblance is more than coincidental!
