Best .22 Auto with subsonics ?

Ok - - I know that semi-autos are not really designed for sub-sonics but I do like using my Brno and Ruger with them. They are both OK but perhaps there are better out there. I'ld like to hear your opinions - - specifically what you think that the best rifle/ ammunition combination may be ?

Looking forward to your answers .

I've used a Savage semi auto for years. Never had a misfeed and in my opinion the trigger and magazine are both better than the bog standard 10/22. You have to keep the action reasonably clean though.
 
I get funny looks when I pull out a sporterised old match rifle to bash bunnies but if you ever use one you'll fall in love with them. But 10/22 is about as good as the semi autos go.
 
Funny this, when i first heard about the Sako Quad i thought all the questions had been answered but according what i read on here i wouldn't take one in a gift. My Ruger 77/22 does everything i need without the trouble.
 
If you're talking bolt action .22s then I believe the finnfire wins...

On a different note the CZ semi autos are a lot less popular here than their b/a rifles. I'm guessing that's because the ruger can be so heavily customized though??

not as bad as they make out.
its an oversight in trying to make an extractor claw fit two cartridge designs/sizes.
30 seconds with a needle file and it is sorted.

I had a Ruger and the Sako build quality and accuracy is just as good if not better in places.
few plastic bits which shouldnt be on any gun IMO but I replaced those with aftermarket metal items for a nicer feel
