Need some help from the knowledgeable experts here
Already have a trust, already have 2 rimfire suppressors and a 30 cal suppressor (Silencerco Specwar 762). As some of you know, the Specwar is long and heavy.....
Wanted to get another 30 cal supressor that will be dedicated for my hunting rifles - 270, 30-06, and 25-06.
Interested in the best value compromise between length, weight, and cost. Budget is $500-$700 plus the tax stamp.

The quietest compact can I've ever been around is Q Trash Panda. I don't know how much they cost, but they're worth the money. I have an Omega for my centerfie rifles and I'm happy with it, but the Q is on another level.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

Got to demo a bunch of them recently and for a fully modular well built can, the dead air nomad is tough to beat. Have one in jail right now. R

I use a SilencerCo Harvester on my hunting rifles. It's long, but it's light weight and works well.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

I have an Omega and a Harvester, got good deals on both. Harvester is long but very light and pretty quiet. I mainly run the Omega on my 6.8 with the flat cap for length, it's fairly quiet but has a bit of tone in it. When the Omega is on my Tikka it has the brake on it. Both suppressors mitigate recoil quite a bit. I have heard very good things from several people on Q, I'd love to shoot one and see what it's like but I think it's well above your $, OP. However, IMO this is a buy once/cry one type deal. If I were starting over I'd be looking at the best can out there regardless of cost, which would like lead to either Q or Crux.

In no particular order...
Nomad 30 Crux Ark Neo Q Half or Full Nelson (Great dB reduction but mounting method is tapered, best if used with Q Cherry Bomb) TABC 7
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

I am a huge fan of Dead Air. While I don't own a Nomad, I do like the sound of them. My Sandman Ti is solid and quiet.
I am also a fan of the Harvester for hunting guns. I know that most think they are too long, but they are super light, quiet, and dependable. I don't run long guns for hunting suppressed (mostly Encores and short bolt rifles), so the extra couple of inches isn't a big deal for me. If you are already running 24" barrels on those long actions, any can is going to make that thing LONG!

I have an Omega for my centerfie rifles and I'm happy with it, but the Q is on another level. I have one. Love it. I bought it because I could use their "cherry bomb" tapered mounting system for 1/2 and 5/8 threaded rifles. If you just want a 5/8ths direct thread, their Half Nelson is the direct thread model of the Trash Panda.

Appreciate all the responses. Going to research all of these. I also plan to think about uping my budget (buy once cry once) and checking out some of the suggestions that were more expensive.
Thanks again!!

It sounds like YHM Resonator is probably going to be your most budget friendly option, that'll fit the bill for what you're looking for. The Harvester might work well too - and they have a bunch of different thread adapters you can put on it. The Harvester is NOT made for high volume (mag dumps and such) though, whereas the Resonator can handle that.

I would look hard at cans in what I would call the mid size length.. 7.5" and on the lighter side.. direct thread or a taper mount setup..
