Have 7600 in .260 that my daughter shoots. Stock is too long and would like to have barrel cut to 19 inches. This would be done by a good gunsmith, anybody have any thoughts good or bad?

My thoughts are your daughter is a lucky girl..........and your a luck man........I wouldn't hesitate to fit the gun to her! Enjoy!

I am thinking along those same lines. My daughter is left eyed dominent and right handed. I worry about muzzle blast with anything shorter than 20" though.
I will end up cutting the stock much shorter and adding a Pachmayr Decelerator.
Wish I could find another good deal on a 760 .270. Just missed a gun when I went hunting instead and it sold for $300. :cry:

I wouldn't cut the barrel to less than 20". A barrel that's too short is loud even when hunting.
