I've been buying the Harvester EVO suppressor for around $550, it's 10.8 oz, 6.23" long. Not full-auto rated but that's fine for a hunting rifle. However, it has since been discontinued and I'm looking for something similar in the same $/weight/length range. Recommendations appreciated, thanks!

THUNDERBEAST has been a Cadillac of suppressors. You pay for it. Customer service has been great.

Thunderbeast Ultra 7! I met Ray Sanchez personally. One of the 3 owners at Thunderbeast. Great products and that they stand behind.

THUNDERBEAST has been a Cadillac of suppressors. You pay for it. Customer service has been great. Have been happy with ours. Cost is an issue but the issue isn't what many think. You have to pay a stamp regardless. You have to wait regardless. Its a lifetime investment so to speak. A couple hundred dollars one way or another is not an issue to us at all. Good luck.

Thunderbeast was the gold standard back in the day....now? Meh.
I would suggest if sound suppression is of utmost importance get the ultra 9. Shooting a 7 vs a 9 side by side the difference is very noticeable.
Honestly the silencerco harvester evo did as good or better than the ultra 7 to my ear.
I would suggest looking at CGS and AB's offerings. I can say the Huxwrx flow through cans eliminate almost all of blow back in AR's, but they aren't that quite...still better than no suppressor though.

Go to pewscience.com and look at his reviews.
I’ve got a Q full Nelson and CGS Hyperion.
I like them both.
My next will likely be an Otter Creek Labs Hydrogen L in 6.5mm.
Or a KGM r6.5 ( they are back to selling to consumers)
The TB Ultra 9 gets good reviews.

The super-popular Evo was discontinued? In favor of what?
Now with even more aplomb

And just a reminder, there are a lot of suppressor weights being thrown around out there that do not specify if any mount is attached for that weight. Digging a little deeper often reveals that you need to add about 2oz for a mount to keep comparisons apples to apples.
The Otter Creek Polonium 30 and the YHM Resonator 2 are two competitors in that same market space of the Evo. Roughly $600-ish, steel construction, and around 13-15oz with a 2oz DT mount installed. Similar sizes and caliber ratings.

Aero Precision has one that looks good but I prefer the EVO. Just found one on a tip from a forum member, bought it at wholesale pricing on sale.

Do any of these just screw on to a threaded barrel, like say a kimber? What’s the lightest and shortest you can get for a .308?

My Sandman L is Heavy! Definitely not something you want for anything more than a hunting rifle from a stand or Benchrest shooting.
