I've had a 760 and a few 7600's. The 7600 I have now is an 06. I gave the last 7600(270) to my youngest son when he turned 21. That 270 shot 1/4" groups at 100 Meters with the first hand load I tried. I have not rung this 06 out yet. I like the wood versions. My nephew has my old 760 (06). He's had it now for 20 years or so. He doesn't think he'll ever need another rifle.
I'd like to buy a reasonable priced 7600 in 35 Whelen and another in 280. I think the 7600 is a better rifle than the 760. The best thing about the 760 over the 7600 is that it is drilled and tapped for aperture sights. But, I think the 7600's are easier to shoot accurately off the bench.
That price for the Whelen is good. I've seen 280's for less in plastic stock version.
