I actually like the kooks of the older 760 it is sleeker with better lines. Not a big fan of squared off foreends. I have a model 14 made in 1920 in 30 rem that weighs about 6 1/4 lbs. Shoots about 2" groups at a hundred yards with a Redfield peep sight and 170 grain bullets. Carries and mounts like a fine shotgun .Those are a nice pair of bookends in the life of the 760. Which one is your favorite.
I have 7 of them, four 30-06's, a .270. a .308, and a 35 Remington and I like them all. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the 30-06 Carbine, which is 1979 vintage.
