Ramble ramble ramble

It's a five minute video? Like you have something better to do? A.D.D. much?

Dan, thanks.

Thank you dan

THANK YOU, Dan. Amazing how many presenters love to hear their own voice, rather than 'get on with it.'

So you're saying the Super Colibris are signficantly quieter than the CCI Quiet-22s? I have not been able to find the Super Colibri anywhere, even online (any ideas?). I have used the CCI Quiet 22 from rifles and have been really impressed at how quiet they are and still have plenty of energy for pest control, but I don't usually need that extra power for just plinking in the yard.

I was told by a company in Texas that deals with the Mexican company Aguilar that those rounds weren't being produced right now for some reason. That was a couple of months ago. You might be able to find that outfit I spoke to and maybe they will tell you more about what's going on. If I can find their no. again I'll post it. They recently changed the back yard range law in Florida so I've been using my regular Colibri rounds sparingly. But they're not as much fun as the Supers. 375 fps compared to 500 fps. This is the phone number I think I called 888.452.4019, Good luck. Info@AguilaAmmo.com

the super colibris are quieter, but lacking in accuracy and Henry says not to shoot them through their rifles, as they are powderless and its possible they could hang in the barrel. The cb shorts have proven to be my favorite round in my henry cause it holds like 22...so much fun!

I have to agree that they aren't as accurate as the other brands but after thousands of rounds fired I've never had one hang in the barrel of either of my Savage Mark II's. They are pretty accurate at 18 yards but every magazine of 10 rounds maybe one or two will be off an inch or so. But for an old twice combat wounded Viet Nam vet I can deal with that OK. I love taking the big guns to the local range but you can fire up a few hundred dollars of ammo in no time. The VA doesn't give me that kind of money.

Cav Sarge, Welcome Home! 1st squad, 1st platoon, Delta Troop, 2/17th Cav. attached 101st Airborne. 69, 70. May they all rest in peace. You all in the 1st Cav did a fine job! Now, the ammo is being stopped, because our nation is being conquered! Senator Joseph McCarthy spoke the Truth! As does the King James version.

Thanks!

+ALIENWarriorX I just tried the Remington CBee. 33gr HP at 710 FPS from a shorter barreled Henry. Again 1 shot killed a raccoon in my garage. It was slightly louder but still no problem at 3:00 am. Probably due to the shorter barrel then my Golden Boy. I should have bought more since they aren't available anywhere now. The only ones available are Aquila Super Colibri and CCI Quiet for outrageous prices on the auction sites.

The super kolibri has powder bud I get a few rounds a box that don’t burn it all and it falls out when I open the bolt

I have taken them all apart, and weighed the powder. The Colibri has no powder. The Super Colibri has 0.5gr of powder. Both the CB long and short have 0.6gr of powder. I forgot to write down the CCI Quiet. Stingers had 1.6gr. This can all change though because the manufactures readjust the weight because of slights variations in the lots of powder they receive. They lab test every time a new lot of powder comes in....at least that what the cartridge manufacture told me.

Today I used some old 22CB, they were almost silent, much smaller than the 22short CB

love the longs better too.

The cb short n cb long are only different by the case size, 29gr 710pfs. Neither is any more powerful than the other unless you run them over a crono and see a velocity difference. I’ve taken lots of backyard critters with the super colibri from a m-6 scout, they are so quiet the impact to a hard surface is louder than the report. Many squirrels have went down to those.

@@morris4069 I’m talking for sound mostly. The most well rounded are the CB longs in ( just) my opinion. Enjoy the plinking!

The super is going in the 700s FPS. It has the 20 grain bullet so requires less powder to make it go seven hundred so less noise. The regular colibri is what you’re thinking of at 4 hundred something FPS. The CCi quiet is a full 40 grain so is powered a bit more and likely is more accurate out further. Super C is only good within like 100 feet or less.

@@BeefNEggs057 Thanks for catching my blunder. Lol! My eyesight is bad so I probably read the stats wrong somewhere. And I only use 22LR cartridges with bullets weighing 36grs or more. From my experience, the other stuff like Shorts, Longs, CBs, etc. are hard to find, more expensive, less powerful and marginally quieter than the CCI Quiet's I prefer.

DeadCats those 40gr. Quiets are very accurate out to a hundred yards in my experience

22cal . pellet long gun can still do it. 177 not enough mass. good luck.

+Gotrek12345 This. The CB Longs are veeery quiet. In my CZ 452 Trainer with a 63cm/24,8in barrel and an A-Tec CMM-4 suppressor with four extra modules, there is no noise to the CB Long at all. There's actually more noise in regular load .22 Shorts.

if you do get a pellet rifle, do yourself a favor. spring for a PCP. i have a few spring rifles ranging from 100$ up to 300$. wish i had just gotten a PCP - the benjamin Marauder. it comes close to what a low power 22 CB would do in ft-lbs out of the box, is quiet, and way more accurate than a spring rifle. if you cant swing the 400-500$ or so for that (consider getting one as a refurb!), a close second would be the discovery, which is a lower power/caliber/budget version, i think walmart sells it in a kit with a pump for like 400$ out the door. reason i say this is because spring pellet rifles are... finnicky (thats the short version, if you want a long descriptive reason, i can tell you why lol). if i could do it all again, i'd do what i said above, or just try to find an old reliable used bolt action 22 and drop some quiet 22 ammo in it and call it a day.

I use the CCI quiet from a Henry Golden Boy. They work very well. 40gr at 710fps is powerful for what they are. I killed a raccoon in my garage with a single shot. I use them often for plinking in my back yard and the sound of the bullet hitting the target is louder then the round firing. Just make sure to keep the barrel clean and oiled occasionally. I haven't found a BB or pellet gun to match the power. The colibri is only a 20gr bullet. The super's are 510 fps and the regular colibri is around 300fps. You will get more jam ups with them so keep your ears open. You'll hear a jam and you don't want to fire again until you clear it.I use a shorter barrel rifle for the super colibri. I also use the CCI quiet from my revolver in my garage. They are louder from a revolver but I can shoot all day with no problems. I recommend you find a good old .22 rifle and use CCI quiet, hands down.

Munky332 + Agreed, the reason I'm here is because the air rifles are a Lot more finicky than the powder ones. Overall, it looks like a quiet powder .22 is best. Until the conquering government makes more headway.

Haven't done any real accuracy testing with the super colibri. But in the video I shoot one of each tested into a gallon milk jug filled with water at about 15 yards... If you listen close to the video the colibri actually misses the jug... So quiet but not accurate

Alex Felton I thought that was a miss . I was watching the darn things start to fly off in different direction at 75 feet . Barley hit a full sheet of plywood . Searching for a quiet kill on chipmunks and prairie dogs, have nosey neighbor .

I guess it's what you shoot them in. The super colibri is so quiet from my m6 scout, I could keep the squirrels and stray cats to a minimum in a normal development. Literally a click and a THWACK!! when she hits!! Next would be the CB long or short, I just get the shorts if they are the same $ to save space when packed loose. Took 5 crows off the same limb With the CCI CB's, only reason it was 5 was because I hit a twig and that scared em. Not their buddies dropping, but a twig?! With said m6 scout so I wasn't being the fastest shot.

They sound like a. 22 break barrel air rifle.

Yes I had one stick in in my Marlin 39-A, didn't notice it and fired a LR, causing a "ring" about 7" from the end of the barrel.

Americanblood76 that was my backyard

Not if he shoots all the witnesses.

triumphmanful ok captain safety 🧐

It’s a backyard…. Would be a pretty lousy playground

😂😂😂😂😂😂 birthday present…. That I bought… but it was her gift to me…. But yep lame line

Well... technically the rifle isn’t ‘quiet’ it’s just a stock rifle, using subsonic ammunition and that is kind of you to compare my back yard as to a park, my kids did like that swing set. Though I’m not much of a hunter and I don’t live in Texas and Beverly Hills would probably be the last place I would ever want to live. Though my kids did once get in one little fight on their playground with kids that were up to no good, they were by the way causing trouble in the neighborhood. So my wife, their mother, got scared and told them they were moving to their aunt and uncle’s home in Bel-Air....

In America many of us have large back yards where we own our very own private playground for our own children and can even safely and legally discharge firearms

The fire pit should have been a dead give-away that this wasn't a public area.

Saying your yard looks like a park is a compliment!

I live in ny and it is illegal to discharge a firearm or air gun anywhere in the county. Only in rifle pistol ranges...

Webchez Im blessed to be able to walk out on my deck and pop away. And not having to pay $300 or so for a range membership means I can buy more ammo.
