I'd personally keep it and put a low powered scope on it. The suggestion to cut it to 20" was a good one. I've done three like that and feel that's the best length for handling. My current 20" 30-06 is topped with a Williams FP receiver sight.
Have another 760 in 18.5" Carbine 308.

Late to the thread (i don't get out much.) Just picked up a '55 760 in .30-06, love it. (I already had another in .300 Savage, same year, so i had already formed an opinion about them being champ for the deer woods.) I am thinking of getting the new one cut down too, and i was also thinking 20". The factory carbines always seemed excessively, unnecessarily short to me. Neat to see someone else also arrived at this conclusion that 20" is perfect. Though to be honest, the standard 22" barrel is not a lot of barrel either, really. Love these guns at any rate. Nothing slicker than a pumpgun.
