Hi Guys, just got a tikka t3x in 6.5, broke in as per nathans instructions.

Shot half inch with factory hornady 140eldm, stoked! I need it suppressed.

Got it threaded by I thought reputable Smith, didn't shorten the barrel at all just thread, nice wide thread for barrel 9/16. All looks good, back to range, same box of ammo, groups grown to 1.25 moa without suppressor, tending to string a little side to side, suppressed it strings vertically.

you change anything on a barrel there will be changes to harmonics etc, I find hard to believe just cutting thread would open groups that much.
