I went from a suppressed 22in tikka 308,down to 20in,down to 16in up to 18in ,up to 22in tikka.Tikka 22"pretty quiet with a gunworks suppresser on it.Shoot one deer,other deer just stand there looking at their dead mate.If you walking in the bush,just take suppresser off if it bothers you.Or dont cut shorter than 20"s as other have advised
