My 7600 carbine was bought new in 2019. At that time Hal Blood of Big Woods Bucks was working with Remington tweaking the 7600. I have owned 4 or 5 in the past and they never fit me right, and were awkward with a scope. I always loved the idea, but for me they fell short. In ‘19 I decided to try again. I mounted a 1.5-5 Leupold and it carried like a dream and pointed like my index finger. I don’t know what they did, the stock has a little more drop I think than previous models, but for me they got it right. This year I mounted a 1-4x24 Trijicon and it improved the balance and pointing more.
