Hi, welcome to the AGF.
You are spoilt for choice these days with regards to .22 LR moderators, but by far the most popular is the SAK, very reasonably priced, and does the job extremely well, particularly when using subsonic ammunition, which might be worth trying, as it will reduce the muzzle report from your MTR considerably in comparison to the Mini-Mags.

There is a link to the SAK mod in my previous post, i think they also introduced a SAK 2, but its never seen much press over here.

First of all, is it a 16" or 20"?
I have Wildcat Panthers, which are great on the 457s (both .17HMR & .22LR) and I also use my Wildcat Evo on the .17HMR
I have a 16" MTR, and the stock stops you from fitting a Panther on a 16" barrel, as it hits the stock before it is fully snugged up.
I had a Wildcat Cub on the MTR, but that is now gone, and am looking to try a Freyr & Devik FW88 on it next.
Any reason you are using MiniMags on it though? I have had far better accuracy with the SK lineup.

Its all been said, theres loads of rimfire mods but the sak just does the job, you can buy it in 1/2 unf, 1/2 unef( fine thread) proofed on ticket or unproofed off ticket for airgun, and they do a sak 2 and even do a mini sak, i pressume your barrels screw cut 1/2 unf just standard, you wont go wrong with it though i just spray silensave in mine after a bit of use and job done.

I use a sak on my 457 with a 16" barrel,does the job nicely.
Only going on info from the RFD that sold it to me saying he had good results from them. To be fair I've only tried Eley match through it so far....
Great thanks, shopping trip here we come

The SAK mod will be cost effective and work well on your MTR. Your rifle has a match chamber and shoots best with match ammo. Most MTR's shoot well with SK ammo such as rifle match. There is always the exception and my son's shoots RWS R50 best. Try a few boxes and see what it likes, I would ditch the minimags to be honest. Your rfd may have had good results with them but probably not in an MTR.
I have Freyr & Devik 88 and it's the worst rimfire silencer I've tried. It's much louder than old SAK so marketing hype of 35dB supression is just plain lie.

Here's a test I made last year. Sadly the Ase Utra Dual is no longer manufactured, it is Hollywood quiet even in pistols when you use subsonics: https://airgunforums.co.uk/threads/testing-some-rimfire-silencers.93277/

Just make sure you have a slot for the Mod' on your FAC
I use an a-tec on my cz457 MDT (20"barrel),it's no better than the sak but as said earlier it looks better.You can literally just hear the bolt click with subs.Rws subs, s+k rifle and pistol match give excellent results.
