    Recently just purchased a cz/brno 22wmr first time getting a rifle and was wondering how silent is a silencer and how expensive and easy/hard to fit are they

    gun model is 452-2e-zkm

    Fitted one to to .17 cz brono. First ull have to get a thread cut on yer barell that ll set u back about 40 - 60 euro and u can buy a standard off the shelf silencer for 40 euro. Bout 100 bucks all in and ull be sorted.

    Major difference to the 17 of mine brought it down to a low velocity .22 dono much about a .22 wmr only theres a strong crack out of em. you should notice a big difference if you decide to go wit it...

    Isn't it the case that some ranges will insist that the gun be "Re-proofed"
    if the barrell has been threaded for a silencer as an after market mod..?

    Might be worthwhile checking up on this first.

    I have the deluxe version (which comes threaded).
    The "sound modifier"...lets not use the silencer word eh!
    ...is very effective, very little noise, does't effect the accuracy etc. I think I spent about 60 euro on mine.

    No sound moderator will work wonders on a 22 magnum.

    last one I got was the T16 but might be a bit on the big side for 22 magnum.

    a sound mod will only be of any use with sub sonic ammo. If you use anything else the sonic crack from the bullet will not change (simple physics) anything moving at or faster then the speed of sound will produce a sonic boom.

    you will have to rescope the rifle with the sound mod attached as some sound mods work by tapping off some of the hot gas and so decreasing bullet speed
