They jam.
Poor trigger.
Inadequate trigger only safety.

I found a new place to hunt with lots of land and plenty of deer and varmints.

On opening day I was there early. As I walked up to the spot I had picked out for my stand another hunter was already there!

As I approached he got up and started past me in the near dark.

I asked if he was leaving. He said:

"Yes, my rifle is jammed!

It was a 760!



this is all total and utter BULLSCHIT. i have and still do own many 14's, 141's, 760's 7600's and 7615's in many calibers. i have never seen any of these issues with any of the remington pumps. the triggers can be set up to be superb. you can pull the trigger group with 2 pins and send the whole thing to accuracy intl for a hell of a trigger job. my whelen carbine shoots one holers at 100 yards with proper loads. my others, '06's, 270's, 35's all shoot excellent and are completely reliable.
