Is your 760 18" carbine also a 30-06? Have you chronographed these two guns? I was just wondering how much velocity you give up going with the 18" barrel instead of the 22" barrel.

I went to one of the local gunshops and handled an older model 7600 22" barrel and a new 7600 18" carbine. I must admit that I thought the carbine version handled, balanced and pointeda lot better than the rifle.

I'm kind of thinking that if I stick to my original plan to get one in 7mm-08 that I should get one with a 22" barrel. If I were to go with the 18" carbine, I should probably go 30-06. I just don't know about a 7mm-08 with an 18" barrel. Even the Rem model 7 has a 20" barrel.

What do you think?
