Silencer Central Banish Backcountry.

[BigCountry49]

Well it’s welded in place and the baffle stack seems to be loose inside the tube. I can hear something when I shake it a bit. I thought maybe it was a chunk of scale stuck in there but after soaking it for a few days in clr it’s still there, any scale would be gone.

You are sort of right though. It’s basically a louder, heavier version of my tbac ultra 7 now.

If you have one handy you could try to bore scope it to see what’s rattling.

I don’t have one, I think I know a guy who does though. I’ll ask him. To be fair, with my complaints about that banish 30 it’s about a million times better than no silencer.

Silencer Central is doing a free $200 tax stamp right now and I'm wondering if the Banish Backcountry is a decent first suppressor? I'll be using it mainly for my 6.5 CM and I might put it on my 556 etc for fun. I'm looking for anyone who owns it or has used one etc.

I've read everything from the search bar and some people like it and others suggest different cans. I was also looking at the dead air ti xc, it'll cost a bit more. Wasn't sure if it was worth it decibel wise.

My opinion would be skip the Banish and go for the Dead Air Nomad TI XC. While I don’t have that exact can I do have its predecessor in the non 3D printed Nomad Ti and it performs well enough that I don’t need ear plug for hunting.

Look at it this way, if you are going to have the penalty of an extra 5.5” and 8 oz on the end of the rifle why not go with the extra 1” and 1.7oz to have a significantly quieter suppressor that doesn’t ring your ears vs just taking the edge off?

Me personally, as someone with hearing issues that predate hunting, I prefer quiet over short so I’ve been hunting with my Nomad L which is 22oz and 9” or so with the e-brake. While it’s a bit heavier the suppression is a significant improvement over the shorter Nomad on stuff like my 18” 6.5 PRC and a 20” 300 Win Mag. When I get around to buying more cans they will most likely be either a Nomad LT XC or the new RDX-30 which is basically a hybrid between the two but with a partially different baffle stack.

Not really a valid comparison. I would rather have a short, light can that takes the edge off a rifle blast vs a longer, heavier can that has the most sound reduction.

But there is a downside to going too short, those K can lengths are best suited to semi auto rifles where the action is loud enough that the larger cans are simply adding weight and length for no benefit.

On a bolt gun however action noise is non existent so having a tiny can is adding extra weight for little gain when alternatively just a little more length and weight can get you a significant increase in performance.

How so? For a backcountry rifle, should we pick the absolute quietest silencers regardless of weight/length? Or should we be buying equipment that fits a role we need?

Definitely fitting the role, while the quietest cans may not be ideal for back country hunting due to their length and weight the shortest and lightest may not be either. Look at it this way if the suppressor isn’t adding enough suppression for you to shoot without ringing your ears then you are essentially adding extra length and weight for almost no gain.

They aren’t giving free tax stamps on dead air silencers. Just on the off brands that nobody wants.

That’s how they get you, I’m always looking out for a deal however a couple hundred dollar swing isn’t going to tempt me to a subpar product when considering said product would be legally attached to me for the rest of my life.

Absolutely. Seems like there are so many silencer makers out there now, I’d imagine silencer central is sitting on a big pile of stuff that dosent move from brands like nosler, off-grid, FNH and even their own banish stuff to an extent.

I’m sure they have no problem selling any dead air, silencerco, TBAC etc that they get in the shop. I still remember getting tricked into the banish 30 when I knew nothing and called to get a dead air. “Nah bro, the banish 30 is siiiiiick, the best silencer out there right now man”…..
