Always knew you had good taste, Les. Much prettier than the plumber's nightmare .22 takedown.

I've got a similar one from Benjamin in .177 that cracks like a .22. I tried a heavier pellet & it makes a lot more noise from the gun but the pellet is sub-sonic & it doesn't sound like a gun going off. I wouldn't use them regularly but when stealth counts it is an option.

how about a take-down 22lr rifle under one pound? http://www.packrifle.com/the weight savings in the rifle would allow you to carry extra ammo instead. at least with a 22lr you have more power and range. and when used with CCI Subsonic HP #0056 it would be damn near silent too. in fact, i find #0056 in a rifle quieter than most pellet guns... I have this one

Mike... I'd probably take the 10/22.. should have kept the Savage M24C... .22lr, 20ga Especially now that they offer the 10/22 in a takedown version. A bit spendy at around $300 vs. the $200-ish price of the standard version but if you need something packable it would be tough to beat.

Phaedrus... I found the Browning this summer for $300... have wanted one since I was a kid and couldn't afford it
AFLM... the paperwork for a supressor in the US takes about a year after you do the revocable living trust or get an approved signature, and most county Sheriffs or State Attorneys don't sign them routinely...... the tax stamp is $200

I'd probably take the 10/22.. should have kept the Savage M24C... .22lr, 20ga When my kids became teenagers, I sold off the gun collection cuz they were better at finding things than I was at hiding things, and I could not chance the consequences: 24c, colt woodsman, walther pp .22, 97 winchester,...*sigh*...good kids, and worth it, but still...

You should have read the book by Mas Ayoob, "Gunproof your Children" (as opposed to "Childproof your Guns") before getting rid of your firearms. Sounds like you had some nice guns that you'll never see again for no good reason. Bummer.

If I make a mistake about a kid accessing a gun, that kid is gone forever. I am not unhappy with my decision in any existential sense, tho I do have a bit of nostalgia. Sometimes kids are more complicated than even experts in child psychology like Ayoob can comprehend. Sometimes children are even more important than guns.
