My testing was done on mycustom-built Waypointand mySaint Edge ATC.
I chose these rifles as they are the most comfortable and accurate rifles that I own.
On a good day, they can produce .3 and .5 groups, respectively.
In this Silencer Central Banish 30 review, the author thoroughly field tests the suppressor to determine how good it really is.
The Why
When searching out suppressors, I consider weight, length, material and availability.
The material used to create the suppressor will significantly affect the weight.
The Silencer Central Banish 30 is made from titanium, which is a lightweight yet strong alloy.
One of the guns the author used to test the Banish 30 was the Springfield Armory SAINT Edge ATC.
Because of this, the Banish 30 Gold weighs just 13 ounces.
For reference, its not uncommon for .30-cal.
suppressors to weigh anywhere from 15 to 21 ounces.
With the Banish 30 sound suppressor attached, the author continued to get excellent accuracy with his custom Waypoint rifle.
you might imagine the benefit, especially when hunting, of having a lighter suppressor.
The Banish 30 Gold has a length of 8.2, which is average for .30-cal.
When zeroing the rifles, the POI shift was minimal and repeatable.
The Silencer Central Banish 30 performed very well on both the SAINT Edge ATC and the custom Waypoint 2020.
The reduction in sound, recoil and displacement of terrain was significantly reduced when using the Banish 30.
I shoot suppressed so often that it felt wrong to shoot the Waypoint with a muzzle equipment only.
Another huge benefit of suppressing these rifles is the human element in accuracy.
The baffle stack is removable from the Banish 30. This allows the user to perform periodic cleaning.
The Waypoint and ATC will always be far more accurate than I can be.
Its easy to want to anticipate the coming pop, which will ultimately affect your shot placement.
Considering most companies charge $100-$300 for muzzle devices, this is quite the deal.
