[QUOTE="themadmax, post: 1219539, member: 85272"] Weight varies. My lightest for my 300WM is about 12oz, length is about 7 inches. My heaviest is 24oz and 10 inches. If I am using my heavy can (Specwar 762), I carry it in and attach when I get to my area. A solid QD mount really helps with this, but adds a bit of weight. The lighter ones (like the Omega and some homemade/Form 1 ones) generally stay on the gun unless I am in heavy brush and carrying on my shoulder. As far as quick shots, it depends on the weight and barrel length. I have moved to shorter barrels and lighter suppressors (thread on, not QD) for this reason: 16" or 18" for .308, .223, 45-70, 300BO, .243, and 20" for 300WM. My last elk hunt I averaged 6-7 miles a day for several days, in snow and high Colorado mountains, so I know what you mean. Lighter is definitely better, but I will not hunt without a can now, no matter how far/high I have to go. I don't even notice the length/weight of the light ones on my packing guns anymore. [/QUOTE]
