I know some on here don't believe it's necessary, but I do.
Thought I would share this from one of the most respected gunsmiths in the UK
I air on the side of caution and remove mine, after all what's a minute of our time to potentially avoid a wrecked rifle.

BTW, I'm not a fan of them, unbalances a beautifully designed rifle, I'm considering leaving mine off permanently.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I'm not seeing the correlation between chamber corrosion and leaving a suppressor attached after hunting?
 
I checked out the other photos on their Facebook page. The owner of that poor Tikka rifle caused that, not the suppressor. Though probably a good idea to take them off, clean the crown, and lubricate the threads from time to time.
