Donnyfl Ronin & impact 700mm barrel Users?🤔

[Redick]

Just received my Ronin and to my surprise it's hefty! My question to those who use the Ronin with a 700mm barrel. Does the Ronin cause any Clipping or Point of impact change(Droop)? I don't have the impact at the moment to test.

I've heard issues with using the emperor but nothing as far as the ronin.

Cool thanks Eaglehorn I was worried for a sec. That Ronin is a monster of a ldc!

I have the Ronin on my 700mm .30 Impact . No issues and I have noticed better accuracy with it .

Granted my Impact has the 600mm bbl and not the 700mm bbl,
I've use both my Ronins, an Emperor V3, and the Emp V3 + 6" extender on it. Zero issues.
You can see from the pic of that combo on my PB, it's almost as long as the whole gun.

Same here, its a beast, but the accuracy improved noticeably!

There's a barrel band present so I'd imagine no poi shift with the extra weight on the end. Also that's a shorter barrel looks like 350mm or so no comparison. Looks awesome though

Can’t speak to the Ronin, but every single moderator I put on my 700mm Impact lowered the POI. Just the initial POI shift like you are asking about, nothing sporadic. Only one model ever clipped (and it was the lightest of all). Also the FX chrono lowered the POI as well, so it was consistent, but didn’t hurt anything.

Redick, yup, on the PBs, the bbl is pretty short, but, that bbl-band isn't 'functional. 
It's there for the OEM shroud on the "Silent" models, but, 
I remove them and add a can to the bbl vs. to the shrouds.
So that the bbl doesn't vibrate / create odd harmonics, 
I toss a few soft rubber grommets in there. That's all.

Ronin on the Impact.
[Because that's the combo that fit into my rifle-backpack]
I usually use the Emperor V3 on it - Indoors.

Smok3y,

Yeah, I've had a few long-barreled rifles that the POI will be altered [lower]
when a suppressor [or any weight] is added. That's just the nature of free-floating bbls. 
These Impacts don't have very structurally sound bbls or shrouds for that matter, 
so a very slight shift is most definitely possible. 
I'm sure that depends on how tight people have their components installed, etc 

I didn't think to add this earlier..

I ONLY shoot with suppressors. That said, I didn't compare POI non-suppressed vs suppressed. 
I compare accuracy/precision/consistency of the rifle/suppressor combo

Mine are all .22 cal rifles and suppressors are the recommended .25 cal size - to prevent clipping.

In the Impact photo - That was the 1 and Only time that rifle has ever been out of my apartment. 
10 meters has been driving me nuts, so, sighted it in at my club for 25 yards,
then took it out to state land and shot it out to 50 and 75 yards.

To shoot 75 yards, I had the rifle braced on the roof of my vehicle, 
stood on the tailgate, and shot groups into a few trees across the field.. 
With very light wind, the points of impact were still nearly touching/stacking.
