Also you really do not want to be taking your can on and off before a 600 yard shot. Even the very reliable conical mounts like Thunderbeast you might see a small zero shift if a speck of dirt, carbon, etc somehow ends up under the mount.

Most of the ratcheting/lock collar/coarse thread mounts you can plan on 1moa or maybe much larger zero shift every time you take the can on or off because those systems are built loose to keep the cans from getting carbon locked from guys doing mag dumps. I have plenty of those types of mounts...on my AR's.

If someone at the shop trying to sell you a suppressor told you otherwise, they are a fuhhhkin liar. Your can stays on the rifle. Your barrel just needs to be shorter so you can leave the can on.

As far as sound reduction, with most 7 inch cans you're taking 165 DB down to maybe 140 DB. Still loud AF but a tiny fraction of the sound pressure unsuppressed.
