Although I feel .22lr is a little light for a big beaver, the quiet part is filled by the 10/22..The only other rifle I could recommend would be a Henry lever or pump .22, you can shoot a wider range of ammo through them, s/l/lr Also there is the Marlin 39A but its about $500....The .17 is louder than the .22 its got a pretty good crack.
