Designed in collaboration with Steven Rinella, host of the TV series MeatEater, the suppressor is built to be the perfect mix of everything a backwoods hunter needs. Lightweight, durable, easy to maintain, and short enough not to make your already long barrel into a pike of a rifle.

Plus, it still needs to reduce the sound of a gun shot. And an added bonus; reduce the recoil of the rifle. 

Made entirely of Titanium the MeatEater achieves the goal of being lightweight at only 10.3 ounces, short and handy by being just 5.85” long, and is easy to clean with a removable baffle stack. Rated for up to 300 RUM the MeatEater has a maximum noise reduction of 32 dB.

The front of the MeatEater has a removable muzzle cap that also acts as a brake. The anchor brake allows the shooter to control the sound output/recoil balance of the suppressor. With the brake fully open, the recoil is reduced by 40%. With the brake closed it still reduces recoil by 30% while increasing the sound suppression. 

While the MeatEater comes with a 5/8×24 direct thread mount, it is also HUB compatible giving you almost endless mounting options.

While this is just a first look at the MeatEater, we’ll have a full review coming soon! This suppressor is going on an NRL: Hunter rifle for the 2025 season to see just how well it performs.
