Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 760/7600?

I started big game hunting with a 760 30-06 carbine. I come from a family of LH Pennsylvania whitetail hunters. We all carry these. Accurate, tough, and fast, but as I have pursued greater ballistic performance and accuracy, I have dealt with bolt rifles almost exclusively. Today I could make a fairly strong case that these are the best pure hunting rifles available today. Certainly, the best hunting rifles that never receive praise.

I've owned several 760's and 7600's, and all have been accurate, though a couple of the older 760's needed some pressure-relief of the bracket on the front end of the forend rod before they started really shooting.

There's no reason one shouldn't be as accurate as a Remington 700. They use the same barrels, and the action is at least as stiff as a 700 action, maybe even stiffer.

You do know this thread is almost 4 yrs old??

Well it's still a good price.

When I was in Pa. earlier this year, Grice's in Clearfield must have had 50 used ones in the racks.. I looked them over mostly .270's and 06's.. I have hunted deer there off and on since I retired.. There is always a bunch of used Rem. pumps in Grices..
When I first retired in 1999, After hunting out west for a couple mths. I would head back there for three weeks of deer hunting in Pa. and W. Va. If often thought about picking up a Rem. slide action rifle as their shotguns are my favorite shotgun.. Kind of wish I would have, but now the camp I visited is being sold, and the deer are gone from the area I hunted in W. Va. so I doubt I do much hunting there in the future, but if you are scouting for a used Remington pump, that is the place I would start..

Them's reely awesome in 270. Deer drop dead at the thought of them.

I have never been able to shoot another rifle type offhand as well as a 760/7600.

My older 760 in .243 is super accurate and has toppled stacks of antelope and a few mulies for me.

I was visiting with a friend of mine from Pa. He told the there is a mint 760 Rem. in 35 Remington in Mahoning Hardware in Punxy... The price was like $695. According to my pal it was mint.. This is second hand to keep that in mind.. But it would be worth looking at if you want a .35....
