I'm into the T/C Contender carbines = no lever/bolt/semi-auto/pump action even with a 21" - 22" barrel they are still extremely short.
Here is a pic of one of my Contender's with a 14" barrel in 45 Colt which makes the barrel 2" longer than legal to hunt with here in BC.
very nice

760 Carbine in 308. Belonged to my grandfather. It's THE perfect deer rifle!
I have to agree Cub, these carbines in stated caliber, are as fast and deadly as it get's,.... where the bucks are big and the thickets will hide them!
Wow, those are some great photos guys. I'ma lever guy and am biased there, but I don't think I have seen a compact carbine here I do not like. Just something about those short ones.
Anyone got an old original Winchester or Marlin trapper or baby carbine? Sure would like to see pics of one of those.

Marlin 1894P. My go-to ramblin' rifle.
I see there's posts of rifles with 20" barrels, so I'll bend the rules too and pollute the thread with my 870P I prefer to ride shotgun when in heavy grizzly country. Brennekes are a hikers best friend.

Here's my latest build. A Rossi Ranch Hand set-up that looks
much like the rare Winchester 92 Baby Carbine except for
sights. I might put a new ladder rear sight on 'er in the future.
This puppy is a .357 Mag. and I can't wait to get it out for some
range work.

My Ruger #1 7x57 has a 20" barrel, but the whole rig is about the same length a bolt action with a 16" barrel. Very handy, but this one needs to find a new home.
Late to the party but here's a few of mine:
Top, 1895 Guide gun in 45-70.
Middle, Win 94 "Big bore" in .375 Win.
Bottom, Win 94 "Timber carbine" in .444 Marlin.

Bolt guns:
Top, Model 7 CDL in .350 rem mag.
Bottom, Model 70 "classic compact" in .243 Win.
