I think thats the most logical explanation after all of the testing mentioned in the last few pages here. Its annoying because I torqued that sucker down good too and it was extremely difficult to remove from the barrel.
Yes, Im not worried about the POI shift. The problem was when this can was direct threaded, the shots would continually drift, they would be very inconsistent. It seems like with the rearden setup the rifle and can combination are consistent now. its kinda weird but I'll take it.
Alright I got back from shooting it again, this is what I experienced.
1. The Bergara and Leupold without the suppressor shoots great and holds zero. It likes 168 grains over 150 grains for sure. I shot about 30 rounds or so through it and it didn't drift. Therefore, I do not have a gun or...
Yes, I was able to put an accurate shot on a good buck with it this season. For deer hunting it works as-is... but I obviously want to be able to shoot it more than 1 time every 5 minutes and it still stay on target :D
Incidentally, It is a Leupold VX-3HD. I have a VX Freedom and a Vortex scope on some other rifles I could switch it out with and see what happens. I plan on getting back out to the range this weekend if I can find some time to do all of the suggestions listed in this thread. I am really very...
I will do all of this and report back. I am the one who installed the scope and rings and I torqued them down to spec and used loctite on all the screws. The fact that the rifle kept coming back to zero after everything cooled off tells me its probably not related to how the scope is attached...
Host is a Bergara B14 wilderness ridge sp, 18" in 308, can is a diligent defense enticer L-Ti (long, titanium). I would say the barrel with the suppressor on gets hot quickly, yes. I need to do more shooting with it without the suppressor on to narrow things down a bit as well.
Hey yall, I have some suppressor frustrations that I thought I'd ask about in hopes that someone can help me out.
I have bad ears and I love to hunt and I really hate wearing earpro in the woods, so I picked up a suppressor (after a 200+ day wait) summer of 2024 and promptly put it on my 18"...
As other have said, before going to any GA WMA go check the regulations book for that particular WMA for hunt dates and rules and regulations. You cannot just walk into a WMA and assume its open for hunting just because the season has started. For example, McGraw Ford is an archery-only WMA and...
Budget is probably around 1500 or so, I'm thinking auto, but honestly just want a good quality gun I can use and keep using through the years and eventually pass down to my sons
