Sorry for resurrecting this old thread back, but I had to since I noticed a lot of people comparing some sub 12 pounds and smaller less powerful .177 cal airguns vs the much more powerful and bigger caliber ones which is completely unfair, lest be real gentleman’s. Definitely by common sence it’s understood that a smaller caliber airgun that does not have enough power to fire a .25 grains caliber pellet at over 900 fps will be more quieter than a more powerful one of a larger caliber.
That being said, the quietest airguns that I have used that can be fired in our backyard without disturbing our closest neighbors have been the fully shrouded Kalibrgun cricket II tactical .60 in .22 and the new Avenge-X in .25 cal, as long as these are shot with one of the most efficient moderators of the market the Huggett snipe standard. For this reason they are the only ones I am currently using in all my airguns and sold the DonnyFL Sumo, the FX and the other very famous 3D printed moderator Buck-Rail. There is a famous saying that say’s a photo says more than a thousand words, however in this case I have a video that justifies what was said before.
