Never had the issue personally. Depends how low your scope is sitting to your barrel, so if it is a issue just get higher rings. Job done! IMO saving those ears is a pro that can't be overlooked! We don't get another set of them.

Now that is a dumb idea!

You will see the end of the barrel/suppressor if your scope has good field of view and/or your barrel is long.

lifting the scope high enough to not see the barrel or suppressor would in most cases make the rifle all but unusable.

I can see the end of my barrel on low power with no can.
I like it... its like playing halo

I only see deer when I look through my scope... 😀

true..? I'll have to actually have a look at mine tonight then. Since I've never noticed, then it can't be an issue. That answers that question then. Cheers

Still not sure weather to put one on or not?
But for all off this thread nobody has mentioned that you must take them off when storing your guns!

Taking a suppressor off is hardly a chore worth mentioning.

No but for those that don't know, if you leave it on it will ruin your barrel faster than you can imagine

I imagine a condom would do the same to your wanger............ you don't need to be reminded to take that off LOL

The balance while carrying on shoulder can be fixed/countered by slinging rifle across your front with off hand rested at pistol grip...works great on all 3 of mine.

Not reading the whole thread. Supressors are dumb. Love loudeners. Uh what did you say?
