I have a DD Lti and it has been great with zero issues. I do not have any first-round impact shifts to speak of. I will test it out on a different rifle possibly this weekend. It is currently on a 20" 7prc.

My buddy has a begarra 300 win mag with leupold vx6. I know I told him all about it.

He has a q supressor.

His first shot cold bore is off. Sometimes off the paper. Every shot after is dead center. I had him roll the dial on scope up and down and it would still shoot perfect. We would let rifle cool and take off suppressor. Put it back on 15 min later. First shot wildly off. Then every other shot right where he wanted it.

Thoughts?

Zero it without the suppressor. Then see if it does it unsuppressed.

Put of curiosity, does he use some type of quick detach or is it direct thread? My issues all seemed related to a quick attach system (Xeno) and have completely gone away since switching back to direct thread.

Good question. It is direct thread.
