With the above as background, do you think very long barrels, in the range of 30 - 32 inches, might quiet down a subsonic 300 with 250 grain projectiles? I cannot believe how quiet my CZ 452 with its 24" bbl. shooting PMC Moderators is (it is quieter than a fully shrouded FX Cyclone airgun I own) and I was wondering if this might translate to centerfire as well.

Mike welcome, I would look at any .223 action size control feed bolt guns.
but as you like CZ's why not a CZ 527 American. :)
The CZ 527 American has all the features of the CZ 527 Lux rifle in an American style package, and now for 2004 also wide selection of wooden and laminated stocks. Made just for the American shooter, the American features a detachable 5 round magazine, a classic American pattern Turkish stock, 18 LPI checkering, hammer forged barrel, single set trigger, and recessed target crown.
CZ 527 features:
· True micro length action
· Controlled round feed
· Hammer forged barrel
· Single set trigger
The CZ 527 American is supplied with scope rings. 21.9 inch barrel but as you want 300 whisper you'll have to put new 1:8 twist barrel on it anyway so it doesn't matter.
Other options...
Ruger’s Model 77 Mark II action, which features a one-piece bolt with a two lug lockup, a large claw extractor, controlled round feeding from the magazine, and a fixed-blade ejector. The safety is a three-position wing type that is easy to use, and clears any low-mounted scope sight.
Model 70 Brown Laminated, Coyote, Stainless (223 Rem.)
If you're looking for a proven specialty varmint rifle design that can double as an effective big game rifle, look no further than the Coyote. Available in a Stainless model or the new Blued version, the Coyote is designed for the hunter who needs both an easy-to-carry rifle and one capable of long-range accuracy. To that end, the Coyote pairs an accurate, 24" medium-heavy barrel with a rugged laminated stock with a reverse taper fore-end. The unique stock design is perfect for using a bipod, shooting sticks or sandbags. The impressive Controlled Round Push Feed bolt — which combines the best aspects of a push feed and Controlled Round Feed bolt — is standard. The Coyote is a great all-in-one rifle, built for any situation. Standard short-action, WSM and WSSM calibers are available, including the new 325 WSM. Additionally, the 223 Rem. is now chambered in the super-short action.

And I thought I saw Savage now offering a controled feed option but their site is a little hard to navagate.
Length of barrel on rounds of small powder charges can make a difference in sound but from what JD Jones says the 300 whisper only burns powder for under 15 inches of barrel then it's coasting down the tube.
