    So I've dialed in all my rifles to the way I like it. Now when my suppressors arrive, will I have to re-sight in my rifles again? Also, will I have to do this every time I take the suppressors on and off?

    Depends on the rifle/suppressor combo. For the most part they all will have some point of impact shift. How much depends on the suppressor/rifle. Some suppressors you can "time" by remembering where you start threading and how many clicks it takes to tighten. For the most part, the better suppressors will have minimal shift and you may just be better knowing your hold. Say it may cause it to go an inch low or so. My sbr's I zero it suppressed Bc I do not see myself shooting it unsuppressed. My longer rifles I zero it unsuppressed.

    With the m4-2000 I noticed some significant shift, even more so under full auto. With the 762SDN6, the shift was minimal at best. Considering I'm not the best shot, I wouldn't be able to tell shooting off hand, but on a bench, I wanna say it's less than 1/2 an inch.

    I like the idea of sighting it in suppressed and not ever shooting unsuppressed. But one of my suppressors will be shared between a Remington 700 and an SBR 300blk that I've built. I hope it doesn't change every time I swap from one rifle to another

    I to was worried about the same thing, but so far the most extreme diff I have found is it being of about 1.5"-2" at 100 yards. I plan on keeping them sighted in all with suppressor, like tuan I don't plan on shooting them un suppressed anymore, and with me swapping my omega out I haven't had an issue with them going back on the same gun and no zero issue

    Unsuppressed 10/22 at 100 yards
