Do you take your suppressor off?

[WiscoHoundsman]

So I have a Tikka TX3 lite in 7mm rem mag with the d18 fluted barrel that is 24” long with a scythe ti that I plan on using in Colorado for second season. My current soft gun cases are not long enough to fit this setup. My current plan is to take the suppressor off for travel to Co and then every day while hunting if I’m using an atv or truck to get from my base camp to trail head.

What recommendations does everyone have for dealing with longer guns? Or guns that are too long with a suppressor?

Get a longer case. The Armageddon gear one at GA Precision is excellent.

Are you worried about a zero shift from constantly taking the suppressor on and off?

Last year, I tracked the zero on a scope over the course of a year, shooting a group at least once a week with the rifle riding in my truck 100% of the time, enduring the daily abuse of the washboarded dirt roads that are my commute.I took the suppressor on and off over 50 times and never recorded a zero shift because of it.

I have rifles that, with the suppressor on, won’t even fit in my first-generation Tacoma. For a long time I ran a suppressor pouch on the outside of my backpack and screwed the suppressor in when I felt it was necessary.

Best solution? Chop the barrel…

I have seen some suppressors cause shifts and others that do not. I would go and test it out at the range to confirm 100% before you are in the field.

I’m a huge fan of chopping barrels. But beyond that, a good long case from Armageddon, TAB, or a hard case from Pelican or similar will do you well

Yes you could take the can on and off but I found that to be a pain

I take mine off. Too much of a hassle fitting them in places on.

I’m using Tbac CB and have no issues with zero.
