This one didn’t really fit in any of the other POI shift threads before… so…
Nothing Earth shattering… but kind of interesting… Zeroed my SPS with the Brakeout mount for the SDN… then mounted the can. POI is 6/10s of a mil up. No windage adjustment… just elevation. Odd that it’s up though.
You getting good accuracy with the SDN-6? I considered the can for use on both my carbines and precision rifle, but ended up going with a Surefire 7.62 Mini.
Just out of interest, were you usng the exact same round throughout? Harmonics are difficult to predict, that aside could the causal factor be physiological based upon shooting grip etc. to compensate for the extra weight of the can?
I disagree. This is one of the reasons I love 308’s. They recoil enough to exploit any deficiencies in the shooter’s firing position. I routinely see people’s POI shift .5 mils from POA when I force them to get up and walk around between shots. While they are walking around, I’ll take their rear bag out from under the rifle, and smush it around, and I’ll pick their bipod up out of the divots they have it in, and put it on virgin ground. Very common to see .5 mils deviation.
Do the same test with a 6.5 creed or other light-recoiling round and the deviation is less by half or more.
As for the suppressor shift, .6 mils is average I’d say. The fact that it shifted up, rather than the more often seen downward shift may be an indicator of a thread/mount problem.
