Zero Suppressed?

[RAWHDE]

Not sure if this a silly question or not but almost finished my new build, just waiting on scope. Will be shooting suppressed for the first time. Question: If I plan on consistently shooting with suppressor, does it not make sense to zero my rifle with suppressor on? Thanks

Yes, zero with your can. Double check your return to zero. Also wouldn't hurt to get your zero shift while you are at it. (Can off.)

zero both ways. Leave it set to your can. But know what your off set is, in case the can is damaged, forgotten or any other thing. Mine shifts about a 1/4 left on my 260 and 223. Easy for me.

good advice only thing I will add is if the can is a quick detach might need to index the can.

I have never had issues with my Thunderbeast quick detach.

I shoot my rifles suppressed 99% of the time so I zero with the can on. If you measure the offset you can include that in your ballistic calculator as a separate gun profile so your covered if you need to shoot without it.

Absolutely, I use a sandman with QD mount. Always zero with it on if thats how ill be using it. Ive had as much as a 1/2 mil impact shift can vs. no can.
