    Funny, while people frequently disagree on all kinds of things on these forums, you usually don't see such childish panty-bunching over someone simply stating what their experience with their suppressors has been. I spend an awful lot of time doing precision shooting, and have for several...

    I say mine is a "Banish 223" but it is actually a Varminter 4.0 223, but the only difference is the name. I don't know, but I would bet Silencer Central/Dakota Silencer got trademark objections from someone and rather than risk a court battle they just changed the name. They sell a baffle jack...

    Suppressors One can for two different guns

    Almost everyone who isn't either selling suppressors, stinking rich and/or exceedingly persnickety will tell you it is a waste of money to buy a separate can for a 6.5. I will go you even one better -- if your two calibers were .30 and .204, I would still say just get one can. My 9" 30-cal...

    You won't care too much how long it takes to transfer it into a trust because you will have possession of it and be shooting it while you wait. As far as whether to go trust or individual, if there is no one you want to share the suppressor with, or leave it to when you die, there is no...

    Suppressors Silencer for precision shooting

    Whoa, kind of unhinged there, aren't you? Is it that you have never shot a 5-shot group in the 2's in your life?

    Correct, having owned one sealed suppressor I do not need to own every one made to know that I don't want any more sealed suppressors.

    I am sure the guys at TBAC are great guys making great suppressors. Theirs just aren't the best for what I am doing, which is trying to shoot with extreme precision.

    Suppressors Silencer for precision shooting

    If you are talking serious precision is it not productive to worry about "least POI shift," because with any suppressor on any very accurate rifle you are going to see some. No big deal, you just note what the scope settings are with and without the suppressor and shoot away. My heavy YHM...

    All I did was recommend the OP, who asked about alternatives, consider getting my favorite - the Banish, and tell him why, in my opinion it is the best suppressor on the market for some applications. What "derailed" the thread was certain people here again throwing a hissy-fit because I had the...

    The OP asked, "what other suppressors should I be looking at that are comparable to the ultra 7” in performance, weight, length, and price?" And I told him about one I think he should be looking at, and why. Are you irascible crybabies going to throw fits and heap derision like this every time...

    . Interesting. There is no play in either of mine, but if the baffles should start getting damaged I will see when I clean them. Replacing is simple. Edit: NorthWesterner, you posted a :ROFLMAO: on the above, as if there were something humorous or preposterous about what I said. There...

    Yeah, they say that and TBAC says don't let the can get over 800 degrees. What's the difference to someone like me who is a precision shooter with zero desire to shoot with a hot barrel, shortening its life? I don't care how they get there, if you want a DT Ultra 7 it will weight 2.5 oz. more...

    Yeah, I know, so when people like this OP ask "what other suppressors should I be looking at that are comparable to the ultra 7” in performance, weight, length, and price?" everyone here will just say, "none." And if stating the truth irritates some people, that is their problem, not the rest...

    I don't know about other user-serviceable cans but that never happens with my Banish or with any of the thousands of other Banish cans out there. Absolute BS saying the baffles move around. More BS. Lighter? The Ultra 7 in .308 DT weighs 11.5 oz. The Banish 30 in its 7" configuration...

    All I can tell you is that if I stand back 30 feet without any ear protection and listen to a friend shooting his .223 through his 7" Ultra 7, and then through my 7" Banish 223, I cannot hear any difference at all. Silencer Central claims to have a sophisticated meter and to have done...

    I shoot my Banish 30 (.308 cal.) all the time on my .223 and .204's, with simple bushing that adapts me from 5/8" x 24 to 1/2" x 28. Works great, very accurate. As for the noise, a .223 shot through my Banish 30 in its 9" configuration is no louder than one shot through my Banish 223 (which...

    I don't think you can call it "cherry-picking" when I show you the first five groups ever shot with that barrel. ;) But since that was the first time that barrel has had a round through it, and I haven't even started to work up an optimal round for it yet, I was quite pleased to get one 5-shot...

    Well, I have had at least one Banish since three weeks ago when I posted that target with 4 consecutive 5-shot groups at 100 yards with my Banish 223 on my .204 that averaged .284", and that nobody has come close to beating yet. ;) So what difference does it make, and who the hell are you to...

    Suppressors Thunder Beast lead times...

    Well, Zak, no offense but they better get it in writing, because threads wearing out sure sounds like normal wear and tear to me, which your warranty specifically excludes and Silencer Central's specifically includes. Perhaps if you really mean that you should change the wording of your...

    I have a QD and it is a pain to have to buy a mount for every rifle or move the mounts around (which defeats the whole "QD" idea). I now buy only DT. I don't switch them around that much, but I do take my DT's off every time I clean the barrel, which is often during barrel break-in. Only...
