Re: .22 LR subsonic ammo from Browning semi-auto rifle

Simple bolt-action follow up shots (up to 9) make it pretty handy. It takes some pumping on the hand-pump I have to feed the air reservoir, though, and it isn't a terribly easy pump to use. Manageable though for a 50+ year old in OK shape.

Re: .22 LR subsonic ammo from Browning semi-auto rifle

A co-worker gave me a box of Aguila Super-Colibri several years ago, and I have fired some through my 10-22. It does not cycle the bolt, but it is very quiet, perhaps even quieter than one of the modern spring-piston air-rifles, but at around 500 fps with a 20g projectile it doesn't offer anything in terms of energy that a .22 caliber air rifle can't replicate. My Benjamin Marauder in .22 cal. is my go-to for pest up to raccoon size and much quieter than most spring-piston guns.
