Pest Gun Setup

[John from MD]

It warms my heart to see a chicken killing varmint dealt with.
I like the CCI Quiet but I mean the segmented. I wonder if that is key for performance.

Velocity is really the key to instant death. It is the hydraulic action in the brain that causes instant shock. Back in the day, I have taken gangsters to the hospital who were shot with .22 zip guns and the bullet just stayed under the skin. (they did have a hell of a headache though)

The CCI quiet segmented rounds are 100 FPS faster than what I used @ 710 FPS vs 610.

That could make the difference. I just haven’t seen any on the shelves when I’ve been out. Maybe I’ll just order online.

Midway has them.

I always had the impression that the segmented was designed to be more deadly. The bullet is designed to come apart and make several wound channels. I'm not sure why there is a difference in velocity. Maybe bullet weight?

Call CCI, they answer the phone over there.

I’ll double check the box when I get home. CCI website says 710 for target Quiet. Maybe I read it wrong.


Edit: yes I was wrong. I had a photo on my phone.

I have found quiets to be stupid quiet out of a rifle. But they are simply not accurate. CCI suppressor are better but still not as good as SV

Finally, regarding your light setup:

A picatinny 45deg mount and an olight Valkyrie turbo LEP is what you need. Will save you a ton of weight and will shine farther than you can shoot with a .22

22 shorts in my Henry lever action work quietly well too.

I walk out this morning to get the chickens taken care of and see the gate down on the trap.

How are you gonna cook him?

No sir, I am deathly afraid of racoons.


I slumped him into a contractor bag and set him on the curb for trash day.

This is exactly what I want except I was being a cheap ass. Thanks for the suggestion Boats.
