I've often thought that a 20" 300 SAUM makes sense with one of the shorter/fatter cans they are making these days. Some of the modern midsize suppressors only add about 6-6.5" and 10-13oz when going direct thread attachment. For hunting, I'd not need it to be "hearing safe" like a 308 bolt gun, but it would be nice to get it down a fair bit in DB and knock off the edge when in the field. There are even 5" suppressor options out there that can tame things a good bit.
