Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

Always had a thing for Model 14 carbines....

Man, just when I think I've nailed down what my next rifle is going to be, you guys remind me of something else I want to put in my hands!

I did, it's an Uncle Mike's

I put mine on too.

Yep - been using M 6s a long time.



but mine kills buck deer.

When I lived in NY state I hunted deer with a 760 .30-06, I always wanted a 760 in .257 Roberts as I feel that is an ideal combination for NY or PA deer hunting.

darn now i might have to find a pump 30-06

Now jist one cotton pickin' minute! I'm from Minnysoda and I've never owned a single 7400! AKA The Jam-A-Matic, or the Minnesota Machinegun, and I don't have a single set of see through mounts on any of my deer rifles! I even defy Minnysoda traditions by not owning a $35.00 Trashco scope!

We gotta have a serious chat about that-pretty sure I'm headed out there next fall, and there will definitely be an empty bunk.

Almost.

Rumor has it Whelen Nut used a 7600 in 270 on this one.

Just don't buy any of those ugly Savage 99's. I'll buy them up to prevent the temmptation.....

Rumor?

My Remington Model 141 in 35 Remington handles beautifully.

My father in law passed away about 12 years ago and left us a 7600 .243 it is more accurate than my bolt guns.
I don't use it on deer though. It seems kind of like a girls rifle. Even my wife shot a .308.
Would the factory rebarrel it to something more manly like .338 Federal?

That's a great buck the 270 didn't bounce off of

Mine, too!

Marc,
I had a 300wsm along as a backup and didn't really keep tabs on it.
In all likelihood, pops used the WSM.

Scott,
That would make Ingwe feel better and break Bob's heart

Marc,
What bullet in your 06?

I have a 1954 M760 in 30-06 that was my Dad's. I've taken 2 or 3 deer with it. It'll get the job done but is not my ideal deer rifle. They seem kinda clunky to me, but this one shoots pretty well and was a real good shooter in it's day. Being a pump, it was cleaned alot from the muzzle and probably could use a re-crown job. There appears to be some rod wear. I use it for nostalgic reasons only. I have a barrel band sling stud on it too. It think the last year I used it was in 2004 when it turned 50, took a spike with it then.
