The Gunwerks 8IGHT is the longer of Gunwerks’ two original precision suppressors, measuring about eight inches, and it is built to fully suppress larger caliber rifles. Gunwerks constructed it from hardened 17-4 stainless steel in a tubeless, welded design that handles the heat and pressure of high magnum cartridges. It is designed and optimized for rifles from 6.5mm to .30 caliber, aimed at hunting and long range shooting with minimal point of impact shift and tight groups. Two thread adapters and a 30 caliber bore reducer are included, and the finish is matte black high-temperature Cerakote.
