I killed my first deer with a 7600 30-06. I bought it because it worked like my 870 so I liked it a lot. My son shot his first deer with the same rifle three years ago. I sent mine to Walter Birdsong and had it Teflon coated. Of all the rifles I own I grab that 7600 more often than anything else. It shoots about 1 1/2 inch with 165 green box Remington. It is also the only rifle I don't hand load for. I get crap from guys at deer camp all the time about my rifle but I have never lost a deer while shooting it. My son calls it "meat stick". I'll probably give it to him when he gets older. But then again, maybe he can go get his own. Anyone that bad mouths a 7600 has never carried one in the field. Mine was bought in 1985 and has put meat in the freezer every year since.
