[QUOTE="sea2summit, post: 1725799, member: 105720"] As everyone said you’ll likely have some POI shift suppressor vs no suppressor. What you want to throughly test is that the POI shift is repeatable. I have several rifles that have no noticeable POI shift and I have one that shifts almost 9” every rifle is different. You should, as mentioned pick up a few FPS in most cases, if your loosing MV I would absolutely stop shooting it because something ain’t right. FWIW “I heard” suppressors improve accuracy by reducing some of the initial turbulence as the bullet leaves the muzzle. So where crown is really important unsuppressed maybe it’s less important with a suppressor. It sounds reasonable and I always shoot better suppressed so I have to believe something. QD vs direct thread changes advantages in consistent POI. Not a believer here that a QD isn’t as accurate. I don’t have a direct thread so I can’t compare but here is the target I shot this weekend (from bottom to top, bottom left was first target) after traveling and installing my Tranquilo. This is typical accuracy for me so while I suck the QD system is probably more accurate than the Indian. [ATTACH=full]152171[/ATTACH] I have similar results with SF cans and I remove both if I’m walking into a stand/blind and not hunting on the way in. [/QUOTE]
