Is there an agreed upon 'best' suppressor for precision/bolt rimfire rifles?

Anyone featured or used exceptionally more often than the other in precision matches, etc?
 
In precision matches, you don't run a suppressor. I think that's pretty much the gist of it.

In terms of just a suppressor that you want to plink with, I honestly think they're pretty much the same.. SilencerCo Sparrow, DA Mask, TBAC 22.

The match I go to pretty much everybody is running a can. If they dont have a can then they have a tuner. I'd say 25+ guys with cans and then 5-10 with tuners.

Dead Air Mask HD. It is a precision rimfire can. The baffles are concentric. It has virtually zero first-round pop. The baffles are made of 17-4 stainless, so you can clean them in an ultrasonic cleaner or a stainless pin tumbler (do not put the tube or end caps in cleaners, clean them by hand). It's robust and is full-auto rated up to 5.7x28. The baffles interlock together to create a seal that prevents leading and carbon getting into the tube and sticking the baffles to the tube walls. 👍🏼

Went with the dead air; going to probably be a year long wait

Store here has 4 of them on the shelf and they can't get rid of them. Most common complaint is first round pop.

The whole baffle stack can rotate so the one I played with will shift zero every time it's cleaned. It's not a lot, but it's there.


I've been waiting for a TBAC.

Then they have no idea what FRP is. Because mine has zero. As for the baffles being able to rotate, just like any user serviceable can, put them in the same position each time you reassemble and then tighten it down. Pretty simple concept. If people are too stupid to figure that out, they probably shouldn’t own a suppressor…Much less a gun.

If they can’t sell DA Masks, then they have an obvious bias, and are lying to folks, because it’s been ranked multiple times (by dealers) as one of the best selling rimfire cans ever. And I strongly doubt that has to do with fanboyism pushing sales. Shooting one speaks for itself.

The TBAC is an almost identical can in performance and design. Hard to go wrong with either.

The dealer wants to sell them. The problem is they sold about a dozen and once people were able to use them they stopped moving.
The dealer will tell everyone they're the best can made.

I've seen quite a few reviews online that said the frp was pretty substantial. They also only said it when they had other cans to test against.

Funny, I've shot, and shot besides LOTS of different rimfire cans... The FRP is non-existant on my Mask HD, and another guy's Mask HD that shoots at the range. All the other rimfire cans that are monocore (Sparrow, Warlock, Regulator, etc...) have extremely obvious FRP. The baffle cans are not that way. The TBAC TD22 is another great rimfire can that I see nearly identical performance with the Mask HD. The Rugged Oculus is a good rimfire can with minimal FRP. I hear the Liberty Machine Spark 22 is another great can, but no first-hand experience. I hope to try one someday.
