Just because one rifle doesn't have a poi shift with a silencer on or off doesn't mean anything when you put it on a different rifle (same chambering or not)
Just because one rifle shoots great without a silencer doesn't mean a different rifle will.
Just because one rifle won't shoot worth a crap UNLESS it has a silencer on it, doesn't mean another one of the same chambering will react the same.
I shoot 2 different silencers on 10 different rifles and i have every combination of results i have listed. From next to no POI or group size difference with it on or off to it only either shoots well one way or the other, to it shoots great groups both way, but huge POI shift... of course my largest POI shift with a silencer on or off is 6 MOA, but it shoots great groups both ways. my smallest shift is .1 up and .1 right, and it shoots slightly better groups with the silencer on. I have a semi-custom 7x57 shilen barrelled savage that shoots incredible with no silencer on, but regardless of the load testing i can't get it to shoot with a silencer on.
Don't read into it too much, different rifles just react different to having a silencer on or not.
