    Don't overthink it. A T3 308 win at 16" (with suppressor) and factory ammo will do exactly what you ask of it. As will many other rifle/cartridge combinations.
    Get it and get out hunting.

    Agreed. Only addition I would make is a 16" 308 is basially a 30-30. How often are there threads on here about getting velocity out of short barrels?. News flash, the easy way is don't cut below 20".

    A 20" barrel is carbine lenght and actually not very long.
