    Got back to the range today to check zero without the magnetospeed hanging off the suppressor.
    The red X is not my shot was reusing a target that already had 1 shot on it.
    The blue x was my first shot and didn't feel great but it is what it is, I was struggling with heat haze and my heart beat bouncing all over the place.

    Then proceeded to put 4 rounds into a nice tight group, adjusted left 1 click and up 2 clicks then smacked to 200y gong dead center called it good.
    Will definitely shoot a larger sample when I load up some more ammo for a true zero and mean radius but this will do for now and leaves me with about 20 rounds loaded for hunting.

    Once again I can't emphasize enough how much of a pussycat this rig is to shoot, using the free recoil technique (trigger hand only hand to touch the rifle, left hand tucked out of the way and butt pad just resting against my shoulder cup) the recoil is less than my suppressed 308win, not saying the 308 is particularly rowdy but it's definitely more snappy than the 300prc in this configuration.
