You can always shorten the barrel with a less loss of velocity compared to the -06.

Thanks for the recognition !


Normally, I'd agree with you. However, in the 7600 my .308Win is the hardest felt recoil in a pump that I have. It's quick and short, 0 fun from a bench too.

My .280 is probably the lowest felt recoil I have with the .35Rem right in there.

Camp is where you make it.
