  Tenet: Backcountry Suppressors That Actually Reduce Recoil | Gun Talk Hunt 12.09.2026 36min

  KJ sits down with Jacob Albaugh and Mike Herne with Tenet to talk about the problem nobody in the suppressor market had solved — how to get muzzle brake-level recoil reduction without the weight, the length, or the hearing damage. Jacob walks through the unlikely origin story, from filling a Savage .30-06 stock with Bondo and lead wheel weights just to tame the recoil, to cutting apart a suppressor and welding a muzzle brake onto it in a local shop, to the patented 3D-printed titanium designs Tenet builds today. Mike shares the bear hunt that made it click for him: one shot he couldn't spot and a bear that disappeared into the brush, and another later that season where the Limited kept him on target at 430 yards off a rock and a pack. The guys get into caliber-specific suppressor design, why timing your brake matters and how to do it, what additive manufacturing makes possible that standard machining never could, and they reveal Tenet's new Vesper series — a quiet-first counterpart to the recoil-first Limited line. Plus a look at where things stand on the NFA front and what it means for hunters.This Gun Talk Hunt is brought to you by Savage Arms, EOTech, Range Ready Studios, Fiocchi USA, and Shooting Sports Life.About Gun Talk HuntGun Talk Media's Gun Talk Hunt, with Kevin “KJ” Jarnagin, pairs decades of experience with today’s latest tools and technology to help you succeed in the field.
