Thanks, WildAlaska.
There are a lot of good .30 cal cans on the market these days. You can pretty much pick your price point and find something decent, though there are always tradeoffs.
One of the advantages of a lighter can is that the unsuppressed to suppressed POI shift will be less for the lighter suppressor.
And although carrying an extra 10 oz or 1 lb isn't a big deal, if you are going to carry around a heavy LR rifle all day, and other gear, it does add up. When shooting and in position, having a 25 oz can on the end of a 24 or 26" barrel really puts the weight out there compared to a 15 oz one.
There are also some design differences that influence the accuracy of the rifle when the suppressor is mounted.
Another thing to consider is what cartridges a particular suppressor is rated for. We all want to get the most use from a suppressor since it's an investment in time, money, and hassle. If one suppressor can get the job done for more rifles, calibers, and cartridges, it's effectively cheaper.
