Griffin Armament’s NEW Sportsman Ultra Light HD Hunting Suppressors
Eugene L. 09.26.24
Griffin Armament has begun making suppressors specifically designed for hunters with the new Sportsman Ultra Light HD family of hunting suppressors. This family includes two suppressors as of now with the Sportsman Ultra Light HD .300 and the Sportsman Ultra Light HD .36. These new cans are made to be light for hunters who have to make long treks to find their quarry. While initially, aluminum was considered as a material choice for these suppressors, the development of laser welders along with Griffin Armaments tubeless suppressor design has made for the new Sportsman Ultra HD suppressors to have near titanium-weight while still being made of more durable and affordable 17-4 stainless steel.
Both the .30 cal and .36 cal models of the new suppressors come with a modified ECO-FLOW baffle stack for a medium-backpressure option that has been specifically tuned for the most common hunting calibers with bolt action and semi-auto firearms. Additionally, both are designed with an industry-standard 1.375×24 HUB mount interface threading that allows for use with any of Griffin’s HUB mount adapters, including direct thread inserts.
“When we decided to upgrade the Sportsman lineup, we wanted to focus on the aspects most important to hunters, while eliminating any unnecessary features that drive up costs. Hunting suppressors need to be three things: Quiet, relatively light, and affordable. Utilizing laser-welding technology, we created a lightweight, durable silencer from stainless tool steel at a much better price than would have been possible if we decided to use titanium. We went with a HUB-threaded rear interface to give people some options with their choice of mounting system. This leaves the final configuration for the intended use case in the hands of customers.” – Austin, Lead Design Engineer, Griffin Armament
The Sportsman Ultra Light HD .36 can be configured with a booster assembly and piston for use on 9mm tilt-barrel pistols. The Sportsman Ultra Light HD .300 is rated for rifle calibers up to .300 RUM, and the Sportsman Ultra Light HD .36 is rated up to .338 Lapua Magnum and 9mm pistol cartridges. MSRP for the suppressors is $599.95 and $649.95, with both coming with Griffin’s Perpetual Lifetime Warranty.
