Victra 12 Lede

Yankee Hill Machine has announced the debut of the Victra-12, a new modular sound suppressor designed specifically for 12-gauge shotguns.

“Our research showed that shotgunners were demanding a major upgrade in suppressors, and the Victra-12 delivers across the board. It is lighter than the competitors, user-configurable to shorter sizes, durable, and offers outstanding dB reduction, all at a price that blows away everything else on the market.” said YHM president Chris Graham.

Victra-12 production models will be available in late Q1 2025. Demo models will be on display at YHM’s SHOT Show booth #20521.

The Victra-12's robust, yet lightweight modular construction allows the user to configure it as a 12-inch, 10-inch, 8-inch or 6-inch suppressor, depending on the user’s needs and preferences.

Another feature Victra-12 brings to the table is its mounting and choke system. Instead of purchasing more costly combination mount/choke units, the Victra user needs only one mount and can swap the choke within the suppressor as desired.

The VICTRA-12 ships with an Improved Cylinder choke. Full and Modified chokes will be available. Available mounts compatible with popular host shotguns including Remington, Mossberg, Browning and Winchester. Benelli, Beretta and many others, will be posted on the YHM website when available.

Hardware Review: Browning BAR MK 4 Hunter

First, the Browning Automatic Rifle addressed in this article is not the renowned 1918 BAR of military fame. I’ve actually seen an American Rifleman editor hunt hogs with a reproduction 1918 BAR. While it was a spectacle to behold, it’s probably not the optimal choice for the deer woods, but hey, who am I to judge? The Browning BAR we’re talking about in this article is the iconic hunting rifle.
