The shooter or the gun???help!

[Nostradumbass]

I zeroed my 6.5x47 Lapua, and it shoots 1/4 moa average unsuppressed with 123gn scenars.....but,
When I put my can on it the point of impact changes 1moa low....which I understand, but it doesn't group as well. I can put two in the same hole, then one hits an inch off. It stays under 1moa with the suppressor, but I'm wondering if it's me! Let me know if you've experienced this.....I appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Phillip

Look at the amount of free space between barrel and stock. Iwthout the can the barrel can whip freely ... add the weight to the end and it MIGHT be contacting with the stock causing the problem. If need be open the barrel channel and retur.

Outsy, you're on to something........there's very little clearance between the barrel and the channel, I'll open it up and see what happens.
