Silencer Central Banish Buck 30 Suppressor

Introduction

Welcome to the good old days folks, as far as suppressors are concerned anyways. We are living through a boon of suppressor activity that could only be improved by a complete repeal of the NFA. With so many new suppressor offerings, it may be a challenge to decide where to start. But today I bring you an easy option; the Silencer Central Banish Buck 30.

The Buck 30 Banish

The “Buck Commander” signature suppressor apparently gets its name from a popular media personality. One I am not familiar with as I avoid television and its influence. But luckily that has no effect on the function of the suppressor.

The Buck 30 is optimized for hunters, with a weight of only 13.8 ounces it wont add a lot to your hunting rifle. And its simple industry compatible hub system will allow you to mount it to the host firearm any way you choose. The suppressor is rated for up to 300 Winchester Magnum, which will cover most of your typical hunting rifles. And according to the manufacturer, the accuracy baffle used in the Buck 30 helps reduce the impact shift when switching between suppressed and unsuppressed.

Shooting the Buck 30 Suppressor

I decided to test the Buck 30 on a variety of firearms, as I imagine many of you might do. I am starting to think of this suppressor as a great first suppressor for some folks. The ability to change out the mounting configuration makes it easy to switch from one host to another.

The first rifle I used the Buck 30 suppressor on was my bolt action 223 Remington. A custom rifle mainly used for varmint hunting and target shooting. The Buck 30 fit perfectly using the provided 5/8-24 direct thread hub. Next up was a Bergara HMR Carbon chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. This rifle is also threaded 5/8 -24 so the same thread cap was used and matched up well to the muzzle thread tenon.

On the bolt-action rifles the suppressor was fantastic, keeping the report down to a pleasant ruckus. And it didn’t add much length to the rifles, though I rarely shoot unsuppressed so that could just be my bias. One of the two rifles is particularly heavy, so the weight of the Buck 30 wasn’t even noticeable.
