Looking for some pros and cons to decide if I want to cut one of my pumps down to carbine length. Been looking for a factory carbine but with the crazy prices now hard to justify. I have a full length 35 whelen and 06. My shop has a Smith that will cut recrown and reinstall front sight for 100 bucks. Thanks for any input.

You're trading 30-06 velocities for 308 velocities. If that matters in the Woods?

I've had both the 760 rifle and the 760 Carbine. There's a lot to be said for both configurations. I made the longest shot of my life, a 300 yarder, with the rifle

A bullet doesn't rattle down a barrel unless the bullet is undersized. A longer barrel has more harmonics and a shorter barrel is stiffer. That's why you often gain accuracy by shortening a barrel

No Jerbo, the .300 Savage was not a "special run". It was a standard offering throughout the 50s. And Vietnam did not begin in the 50s either unless you were French
