[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1917611, member: 108082"] I am quite sure that a whole bunch of people reading here want to know which suppressor experienced users think is best, and why. The only "science" I am interested in is what I see on the target paper. The Banish line (fka "Varminter") has a 15-year "track record." They are manufactured by a top gunsmithing machine shop in Sturgis, SD. I have never even [B][I]heard[/I][/B] of someone having a problem with a Banish/Varminter. But it isn't hard to make a can that won't blow up. What is hard is to make one that will be super-accurate. Here is what I see with my .204 -- four 5-shot groups shot back to back at 100 yards that average .284". I'd just like to see at least one example of TBAC or any other welded suppressor shooting like this to back up the claims that they are "the best for a precision rifle." And I don't mean dig up one fluke group you shot 4 years ago and can't repeat -- my Banish shoots like this every time I take it out.
