The muley population is abysmal right now. There are still big'ns out there, but disease and drought has really messed with their numbers.
If lightweight and suppressed is your game, then go with a carbon. If you're not going to get a can, just go with a steel barrel. You can get same weight and lighter with just as much accuracy (or better) potential if you get a high quality steel barrel (Bartlein, Kreiger, Lilja, etc.).
