I think that your best bet will be the Ruger American. There are a few howa mini barreled actions at brownells, and you could get a boyds or howa stock for those within your budget. Heck, I've got a boyds that I'm considering selling.
I don't shoot suppressed so I can't answer that, but the howa HB is not that 'heavy'. My rifle with DNZ mounts, vortex 2-10, and sling weighs 8.5#.
