[QUOTE="jamiebolseth, post: 1426948, member: 88495"] The weight of the suppressor flexing the barrel causes the shift from what I've seen. In my experience (5 suppressors on about 20 different rifles) as long as it's a good quality suppressor, and the barrel is threaded correctly you should not get much left/right POI (I've seen no more than 1/2 MOA on any of my rifles), but you will get a lower POI based on the flex of the barrel. On a short/fat barrel I've seen as little as 1/2 moa shift downward. On the long thin barrels as much as 4-5 MOA. This is mostly with a Thunderbeast Ultra 9 and Ultra 7, so these are among the lightest weight suppressors out there. I would expect significantly more POI shift with heavier suppressors, but I haven't personally tried anything other than the Thunderbeasts. [/QUOTE]
