Further Intel

Crafted specifically with the hunter in mind, the Tracker offers a lightweight (just over 11 ounces) and maneuverable (under 8”) option to those of us who feel right at home in the vast wilderness. By selecting titanium and aluminum to sculpt this can, Gemtech spares the shooter unnecessary weight and bulk, which provides for easier transport while stalking prey or beginning the long walk to/from the blind. In addition, its lightness also equates to less point-of-impact shift (especially on thinner profiled hunting barrels).

Rated for .300WM and below, the Tracker offers outdoorsmen versatility when aiming for their dinner. And the sturdiness of its hard-coat anodized finish brings added durability to the silencer. With sound suppression attaining an impressive 27 dB, the tailor-made for hunting Tracker provides increased hearing protection, improved accuracy, and unmatched maneuverability. So, the question isn’t why get one… It’s why NOT get one?

**Fun fact: If you know what the Morse code on the Tracker’s outer tube indicates, bravo!
