I am trying to get more into precise 22lr shooting and am in the planning stages of a rifle build.

I'd like to supress my rifle because shooting supressed is fun, and because I legally can.

Question is: will removing/reinstalling a supressor have a negative impact on accuracy? All of my precise shooting would be done with a can, but I would also share this can with my handgun. I'm not sure if this is a bad idea.

Sorry if this is a dumb question!

most cans will have some sort of POI shift
Dead Air Mask HD & SiCo Sparrow have been shown to generally have least noticeable shift

KGM RF22 & HUXWRX FLOW 22 Ti are supposed to be GTG too

go out & read some of the tests

I didn't notice much shift/accuracy change with the Mask on my Savage FVSR. I shoot it 100% suppressed, so that's what the scope is dialed to.

I'm sorry I worded my OP poorly. I was sober, too!

I expect a small POI shift with a supressor. I'm asking if I should expect a POI shift if sight in supressed, then I remove/reinstall the supressor for storage and sharing the can on other guns.

I'm not weighing cases, measuring case rims, etc, so it sounds like a non issue.

As he said, read the reviews before buying.

Buy the one you think will be best.

Shoot the new rifle with and without the can.  Then, shoot it again after re-installing it.

Report the results back here.  We'd like to know.

As long as it's thread on the same as before it shouldn't show any shift really.
I usually make witness marks on the gun and suppressor so I know it's in the exact same spot as when I took it off to fit in the safe.

A quality can should return to zero. I’ve never noticed a zero shift on mine. The only way you’d likely see an issue is if you did a bunch of blasting and added some significant weight of carbon/lead.

From everything I've read about in my suppressor research.  When it comes to poi shift and nothing else you want THUNDER BEAST ARMS. Suppressed long range precision, this seems to be the 'go to'. Noone says they are the quietest or lowest back pressure or anything else. But they are the king of poi shift from what I read.

My Dead Air Mask on my Bergara BMR Carbon is a very, very good shooting combo.
