The real surprise was how quiet the 22LR subsonic is from a rifle barrel, even unsuppressed. You can fire it in suburbia no problem. A carpenter makes more noise with a hammer.

Yep - I like to use it in one of these:

Savage 87A, late '40s - early '50s semi-auto. You can see the charging handle doubles as a breech crossbolt, allowing locked-breech shots with low-power ammo. Long barrel, too - both the Aguila subsonic and the CCI Quiet .22 make less noise than the average airgun.

Thanks for the memories!
The Stevens 87A and a Marlin 39A were the sweetest rifles I ever shot. Marlin had custom finished stock. Loved shooting it with one hand.
Only complaint(87A) was when sear wore down, it would go auto(2-3 rds.) and jam.
Worst day was selling both, in 59.
