Remington M760 or 7600 in rifle or carbine configuration. I have a M760 in 30-06 that is the shortest overall length rifle in my safe even though it has the standard 22" barrel. Shoulders, points, swings like a light bird gun and is plenty accurate. I have had several three shot groups under and inch with my handloads.
