What suppressor did you mount? Are you going to log your point of impact shift?

Welcome! Which Burris XTR II did you go with? I have one so I'm curious how you like it. Can you share pictures of your rifle?
Savage Stealth in 6.5 - First impressions.
I have an update. Shot 200 yards 2nd time out after zeroing at 100. Used the Ballistic AE iPhone app which I had added the 120 Grain Hornady AMAXs I was shooting in. Dialed the elevation adjustment up .5 mils and was on from the first shot. Went through the 10 rounds I had left of AMAX then shifted to Hornady 129 Grain American Whitetail which I found to be terrible.
Since then I ordered a Silencerco Omega suppressor and installed a SiCo 7.62 brake. Also purchased 80 rounds of 140 Grain ELD-M as I've read these are some of the best long range projectiles because of the high BC and the barrel twist rate matches well with 140s.
