Ridgeline Suppressors’ Hush is a 3D-printed Inconel suppressor with an over-barrel design and composite shell aimed at precision shooters who need to mitigate mirage caused by a hot suppressor.
Built for Precision
Ridgeline Suppressors designed the Hush for long-range precision shooting. That includes hunting, PRS, and Hunter PRS-style competition. The company didn’t chase the smallest or lightest spec sheet win. Instead, it focused on recoil control, heat management, and consistency.
The Hush measures 10 inches long but only adds about five inches past the muzzle. The rest slips back over the barrel. That layout keeps rifles balanced and avoids the front-heavy feel common with long suppressors. While keeping a lower profile, this design also maximizes internal volume to slow and cool gases through the Hush’s 3D-printed core.
Shooters can run the Hush with a standard end cap or a fully timeable muzzle brake. The brake option targets shooters who want better recoil control and faster follow-up shots. Ridgeline lets users swap between the two with the right tools. If you want to buy the suppressor brake or the solid end cap seperately, you also have that option as well.
3D-Printed Inconel Core
The core uses 3D-printed Inconel 718, a nickel-based superalloy built for high heat and stress. Ridgeline chose Inconel for reliability, not trend chasing. The company prints the core using laser powder bed fusion (AKA “3D printing”), stacking roughly 3,000 layers per suppressor.
That process allows complex internal geometry. Instead of hard-stopping gas with traditional baffles, the Hush redirects and slows gas using fluid flow. This approach reduces heat spikes and avoids sudden gas stagnation. Less compression of these gasses means less heat.
Inconel also handles corrosion well. That matters in suppressors, where heat, pressure, and fouling live together. Basically, Inconel is the best suppressor material option for this design and application.

Composite Shell Cuts Mirage
The Hush wraps the core in a highly temperature-resistant composite shell with carbon fiber and specialized resin. This composite is the same as those used in deflectors on jets. While carbon fiber itself doesn’t break down untill 6,500 degrees, this composite will also handle the high temperatures that suppressors tend to experience. The Hush’s design isn’t based on the idea of keeping the suppressor cool, but on insulating the user from the heat generated, instead.
This shell transfers heat slower than metal. As a result, the outside of the suppressor stays closer to barrel temperature. In many bolt-gun shooting strings, mirage never becomes an issue. Shooters often skip a suppressor cover entirely for the Hush.
That’s the point.
Specs, Price, and Availability
The Hush weighs 20 ounces and measures 10 inches long with a 2-inch diameter. It supports .22 and .30 caliber rifles and carries a magnum rating. The over-barrel bore allows up to a .990-inch barrel diameter. Color options include black and sniper grey.
Retail price sits at $900. Buyers can choose the brake or standard cap without a price change.
The Hush doesn’t try to be everything. It aims to solve real precision-shooting problems—and sticks to that mission.
