SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (Oct. 8, 2024) – Silencer Central, the nation’s largest silencer dealer and manufacturer, has teamed up with MeatEater, the leading outdoor lifestyle brand, to launch the highly anticipated MeatEater by BANISH suppressor. Designed for hunting, this all-new 30-caliber suppressor is a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts looking for top-tier performance in the field.
"We told the folks at Silencer Central that we wanted to help build a suppressor that was lightweight, short, user serviceable, quiet, and reduced recoil," said Ryan ‘Cal’ Callaghan, Director of Conservation at MeatEater. “It seemed impossible, but from every test we've done, that team was able to walk a fine line to help us accomplish all of those things in a package dedicated for hunting rigs."
The MeatEater by BANISH is built for performance and rated for cartridges up to .300 RUM. It features an anchor brake that reduces recoil by up to 40% in the open position and 30% when closed, while also delivering an additional 5 dB of sound reduction. Overall, the suppressor cuts average sound levels by 32 dB, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable shooting experience.
With a muzzle cap insert to accommodate various calibers, users can optimize the suppressor for their specific rifle setup. Constructed from lightweight titanium, the suppressor weighs just 10.3 ounces, measures 5.85 inches in length, and has a 1.73 inch diameter with an industry-standard hub mount.
“From the beginning, both Silencer Central and MeatEater had a shared vision for this suppressor,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “It had to be lightweight, quiet, and reduce recoil – essential features for hunters. Our engineering team worked hand-in-hand with the MeatEater team on every aspect, from design to testing, and even down to the aesthetics, to ensure we delivered the best possible product. The result exceeded every expectation. I’m excited to take it into the field this season, and I know the MeatEater crew is just as eager to use it on their next hunt.”
The MeatEater by BANISH 30-caliber suppressor is available now with an MSRP of $1,299. To make a purchase or for more information visit Silencer Central’s website.
