What sort of hunting will you use it for, what sort of ranges will you realistically be shooting at.

If you would realistically be shooting animals to a max of 600 yards say, an 18" 7Saum running a 162g will do everything easy as.

I wouldn't hesitate shooting a deer at 600 yards with my 17" 284.

Of course the same bullet from my 7Saum pushed at 3k will hit harder but how dead does it need to be? 😉

I run a suppressor on the end of the 22" Saum which gets pretty long, so I only fit it once I reach a shooting lookout.

Whereas the suppressor stays on the 17" 284 the whole time and it's still shorter than the original 22" barrel was.
