.... decided if I get things arranged for another hunt there, I am getting a Remington slide action.. Not sure what caliber...
But never had a slide action big game rifle.. Pumps are my favorite shotgun..
We will be east in April.. I will have to look over the selection of pumps while there... You guys have some great hunts and keep the photos coming.
Don't let it be said that we 'enabled' a hunter to get another gun/rifle.
Yes, it was my use of the Rem 870 that got me to using a 760 then Model Sixes. (that doesn't look right,- 6s looks better)
WCH - the following copy came from THIS forum; Deer Hunting and pumps (thread- P 97), you will find the numbers Remington produced & % of different cartridges.
--------
BUMP -- in reference to "Hunting Rifles" discussion of no.s and % of cartridges produced in the Rem M Six.
I had filed this post for reference and easy access.

According to this article the total production of the 760 1,034,438 units were produced. Of this figure 62,726 were in the carbine configuration. The production numbers of the various calibers were as follows:
.30/06 63%
.270 16%
.308 8%
.300 Savage 4%
.35 Rem. 3%
.243 3%
6MM 1%
All the following calibers comprised less than one percent of the production total:
.280
.257 Roberts
.244 Rem.
.222
.223
The article lists the Model 6 figures as follows:
36,236 total units produced. Production breakdown:
.30/06 50%
.270 29%
.243 10%
.308 8%
6MM 3%
Hopefully, this will be of some interest and help.
-------- there is more info than copied here** that is if you're interested. Based on your statement that you've decided to get a slide action-- I thot I'd help.
Thanks for your complement and I know that some of us have seen and enjoyed your pics of hunts/game as well.
