Suppressor question?

[Ringbill27]

I currently have a Banish 30 in jail. This being my first suppressor.

Well I’ve waiting I’ve be trying to figure out the logistics of my deer season. Deer camp (in-laws house) is 2.5hrs from home and I’ve always left rifle there during the season.

Talking about this with my father in-law. A question came up and I can’t seem to find an answer.

So…

If a rifle is zeroed with a suppressor attached and the suppressor is removed and reattached does the zero shift?

FYI - He will be going in the trust.

Nope as long as everything is tight.

 

[Firestone]

No

 

[Tru2life]

Not as long as you tighten the same each time

My TBAC Ultra7 doesn’t change POI. It’s easy enough to check/test once your suppressor arrives thought.

 

[wintersoldia]

not at all

It depends. Any time you attach anything to a barrel harmonics are affected.

Different mounting systems aren’t as repeatable as others.

On a direct thread can, assuming all threading is concentric, if there is any zero shift it should, in theory be minimal.

Poi doesn’t seem to change by taking on/off the suppressor and putting it back on. Do it all the time as my cases are not all long enough for the complete rifle.
poi change is huge between using the can and not. For me that means I have to sight in with the can and again without. A pain for sure. Now I just use it all the time.

Thunderbeast are totally repeatable, as long as your mounting interface is solid. I cannot speak to other manufacturers. Most reputable cans should be as well, but do your own testing to validate. Of course you should expect poi shift when firing without the can. Some are more significant than others. The dominus shift has been only 1/2 moa, some I’ve seen 3+ moa.

Awesome thanks everyone!

I’m not sure on all suppressors. But my thunderbeast is repeatable every time

 

[cactus Jack 22]

not at all just make sure you snug up the suppressor.

It depends on the mount, sight it in with the can on and make sure you put it on properly every time. You may have some shift but if your within 100 yards with a good mount there should be no issue. You can always leave it there throughout the season if you want and he stays on the trust. I would not though if there was not a safe or it’s not hunting at his house. No one other than people on the trust can have access to the firearms in the safe as per ATF just a heads up

I have marks on my cans and rifles to ensure they get back to the same tightness level each time. So far I’ve had no issue taking off and putting back on. As long as I am using the same can and not interchanging them.

I use nail polish and go down last bit of can down back over mount and down the barrel to. It’s easy to spot if something’s is wrong.
