Sight picture with suppressor

[Oncorhynchus]

Just bought and installed my first suppressor. Silencer Co Scythe Ti on a Tikka T3X 30-06, Maven 1.2. Under low power the can obstructs about 1/3 of the bottom sight picture. Other than remounting scope with a rail and high rings I’m not too sure what the best solution is, or just roll with it as is.

What’s a common sight picture/obstruction when viewed under low magnification?

I would just roll with it. A long barrel + low magnification + low mount = obstructed view. If it bothers you, I would put the scope up higher but I wouldn't sacrifice my cheek weld/comfort on the stock to do it.

Looks normal to me.

Not sure if this is your first rodeo with a suppressor but mirage will become an issue at some point.
A decent suppressor sleeve was necessary for me.

Thanks for the tip. First suppressor but this is definitely on my radar!

At what magnification is the can no longer visible?

Looks very similar to mine. Doesn’t bother me but it might bother others.

High rings, shorter barrel! Most my optics are 4x base mag, but even with my 2.5-20 on a 20min rail I don't see the can. It could be the high ass rings, and 18" barrel helping that situation.

I've never needed one on a hunt since the volume of fire is extremely low... 1, 3 if you're having a bad day.
But at the range it's a problem fast.
