Hay all had another question what is everyone's favorite moderator for A PCP 22 slug or pellet and why have you chose that one would love to know I'm in the market for A new one now that new neighbors moved in across from me.
Best 22 moderator

What are you putting it on? Some do better on the barrel, and some do better on a shroud. And how much power, at least in the ballpark?

Power under 40fpe as for shroud or barrel I would say both everything from my pride and joy stormrider to my new barra 250z I like to mix and match all of my moderators to all of my pcps and even some of my pump guns

I am a little over the top about my guns being as quiet as possible. My700mm impact at 55 ft lbs in 22 is just hammer on valve noise with a shroud and a ronin on it. I do a lot urban hunting and don't need Karen to look my way. Donny FL fx, or donny ronin, and sumo are the only ones I have any right to speak to. My others are all home brew or printed.
Any of the 3 donny mentioned will work for your power range Imho.

Here is a great read on another forum. It may be on here somewhere too, but I have this link handy: https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=182738.0
I do have a couple of the Huma Mod 40 units and find them to be very good - better than than the DonnyFL Tatsu I also have, and on par with a Hugget Mini Magna I also have. The Huma's are great in that they are modular, so you can change the length to suit the amount of dampening you need. I will say both of mine are the older style with the felt inserts vs. the new plastic insert "Avalanche" units - I did buy an Avalanche insert to try in mine and I did not find it as quiet as the rolled up felt, at least on my guns which all have shrouds.

I suggested a new maker in an earlier thread.
Sonus. I have three of them now. I dumped DFL almost two years ago when I found Impulse Air mods. I won a Sonus at a local shoot for my 30 Panthera Compact hunter. I was so happy with the way it worked on that compact 30 that I now have two more on other guns. Superb product.

Ah, there it is again, that..."BEST" question again !
There are as many BEST mufflers...as there are people shooting !
It depends on the pellet speed, the barrel length, and even the weight of the pellet / slug...so, you want to rephrase the question into a little more detail, and add a word more like "preference", than...best ?

Don't know if this helps but I have 1 .30 Donny Ronin. Have used it on my .22 & .25 also to great effect. Even though you're looking for a .22 I'd go one caliber up. My Ronin is a big can but I was mainly looking to quiet my .30. People say his smaller units work great for .22.

I've got a DFL Tatsu, DFL Tanto and a BuckRail modular moderator. If I were to buy another moderator for a .22 or .177, I'd hit the BuckRail again. My DreamTac is pretty loud at hunting power and the BR Mod is (to my ears at least) quieter than the DFLs I own. At less than half the price. They are 3D printed, so I'd go a different route on a big bore or high power gun, but at modest power, the BuckRail is a great deal.

The Hugget Snipe is pretty quiet, I like it a smidge better than my Sumo. I havent tried them all but Impulse and 0DB are also well liked. The sound level and sound frequency however can be very subjective you might prefer something else entirely. You kinda have to just try a couple out to be able to really compare what will work best for you. Diameter and length are usually a good way to get an idea what is more affective, but design can be a sneaky advantage too.
If you have a local range that has some airguns you can hangout and get an idea which sound like what in person.

I have a tanto and koi in 22/25 and they work great as stand alone units on 50 fpe guns.
Had a huggett belita on my 22 revere and it was quieter than the tanto, and the belita is a 1/4" shorter.
Also, I've had a couple buck rail mods and I never found them very effective. Just my experience. His other parts have served me well though.

The VALVES DWELL starts the process on how much high pressure air is expelled behind any projectile .... more efficient the valve is while producing the required power .. Quieter will be the muzzle report ... PERIOD !!!
With that said, what "Moderator" is most effective becomes a Very Subjective subject
Low dwell AG's are very effectively quieted down with a rather small moderator
High dwell AG's need a Large volume and length moderator to disperse and absorb the sound signature due to a lot more volume of HP air leaving muzzle.
