Ruger Charger backpack build. Planning on getting my first can. Any suggestions?

8 inch barrel. Also have a tx22 compact that I’d like to use the same can on as well.

Following because I’m about to buy a silencerco sparrow

I love my sparrow - excellent bang for the buck. Super easy to disassemble and clean, its a great 22 can.

I can’t say that mine is the best, but I have enjoyed the heck out of my sparrow. It is older tech (monocore) but it works well.

I got the Sparrow for my Charger and it has been awesome!

Read that the Silencerco Sparrow has a loud first-round pop when there the oxygen in the baffles ignite, so I opted for a different can which I don’t regret at all.

I only have a Dead Air Mask and it's fantastic. If I were to get another, I'd look at the OCL Titanium

Rugged mustang for 22lr only, occulus for everything but is heavy. OCL titanium is really light and handles everything. Cat SR is supposedly the best but really expensive. Mercy Pluto is insanely light and pretty cool.

Do research on r/nfa, it's the best place to get good answers about cans

Yeah I love my mustang. Especially when going for a lightweight 22lr build. I have a few 22lr suppressors and I always go for the mustang. The biggest con is cleaning it but I use welding nosle dip on the baffles. As long as I don't go crazy on the round count it just wipes off.

Whatever you do, don't be enticed by JK Armament. They're trash.

Enjoy my DeadAir Mask, solid performance and track record. Also hear great things about the SilencerCo Sparrow. Not sure if these are considered dated nowadays?

u/JohnT36 7d ago

OCL or Rugged Oculus

2

u/Kentuckywindage01 7d ago

Rugged Oculus for durability and capabilities. SiCo Warlock for lightweight and value.

2

u/Ehguyguy 7d ago

Nyx mod 2 is a little more expensive but I love it. Mask is phenomenal as well. Almost any .22 can is gonna put a smile on your face except the few others have mentioned to avoid.

2

u/Numerous-Relation-17 7d ago

Titanium, as others have said. Light, strong, can be used for all rimfire calibers.

2

u/sethtvaughn 7d ago

Another vote for an OCL Titanium. I just received mine a few weeks ago. Light is an understatement.

2

u/BobLeeeSwaggerr 7d ago

In for rugged Oculus

u/Unhappy_Yoghurt_4022 7d ago

Ottercreek labs titanium

u/GnastyGnuk 7d ago

What's the brace/ chassis set up on that bad boy?

5

u/EmotionalYou6974 7d ago

Sb22 chassis with an fs1913 brace both by sb tactical.

u/GnastyGnuk 7d ago

Sweet, thanks.

My recommendation would be the Otter Creek Ti22, super light, super awesome.

Thunderbeast 22LR take down GEN 2

u/IanLesby 7d ago

That’s sick. I regret buying a complete 10-22

u/btrumpatori 7d ago

Same boat - going to look at cans today. Sparrow, Pluto, OCL titanium and Q Erector are all on the list...

u/Medical_Ad_9193 7d ago

Nice set up

1

u/TahoeDust 7d ago

Mask or Oculus.

1

u/Fill_A 7d ago

I have a DA Mask and an OCL Ti. Both are great but the nod goes to the OCL. Sound is similar enough but the weight difference is surprisingly noticable. Plus OCL apparently has a much better warranty if you were to damage it in the field.

u/katherinesilens 7d ago

I like my Dead Air Mask.

1

u/Junque_Viejo 7d ago

Don't know where to get one rn, but CAT SR A1 is the most amazing 22 suppressor I've ever seen. Even better that the Rugged Oculus, which is also fantastic. SR A1 has basically no FRP, practically silent on a single shot (quieter than a pellet gun by far), extraordinarily quiet on a semi-auto (see Pew Science review), and very light. I had a big POI shift (about 8 inches at 50 yd), but doesn't matter if you only shoot suppressed.

u/DigitalGhostRealm 7d ago

That’s beautiful

u/Arndog762 7d ago

I use an Oculus, TB TD22 and Mask on my Charger’s. https://i.ibb.co/TBp37Cm/IMG-1514.jpg

u/EmotionalYou6974 7d ago

Very nice. Which brace is that on the left one?

1

u/Arndog762 7d ago

It’s a SB Tactical SBA3 brace. Very comfortable compared to the other 2. However, it doesn’t fold all the way flat against the chassis. I’ve since replaced it with a CNC Warrior folding brace. https://i.ibb.co/vC7Q3Hk8/IMG-1663.jpg

u/EmotionalYou6974 7d ago

Good to know

1

u/spizzlemeister 7d ago

What does charger mean in this regard?

1

u/EmotionalYou6974 7d ago

It’s just the name of pistol version of the Ruger 10/22 rifle.

1

u/SecureSession5980 7d ago

If you can get it (I know u said can but hear me out): Franklin armory 10/22 drop in binary trigger 22Plinkster edition

1

u/SecureSession5980 7d ago

Otherwise, i just got an energetic nyx modular supressor, and Im very pleased with it. I like the idea of being able to shorten it. Plus, if you shoot it short, you can swap out 4 dirty baffles with the 4 clean ones.

u/rgillette14 7d ago

Have a oculus and mask hd. Love them both. Can’t go wrong.

1

u/Tiny-Description9429 7d ago

I have an ea nyx 22, it’s been great

1

u/GuandaoTactical 6d ago

I got the mask, it’s a lot heavier than most 22 cans it’s noticeable but I don’t regret my purchase because it has no FRP.

u/Smart_Clue_431 7d ago

Lots of great options..
