Got a Savage 220A in 410 and a Remington 742 30-06. Both for 400 out the door. Both cleaned up very nice and work as they should. Really just wanted the 410 for grandson but the owner said you need this one also. I thought it was a deal. So another 06 in the safe.

My Dad grew up pretty poor. A new gun from Sears was a big deal. In 1968 he won a 760 in 30-06 from the Deep Creek Lake VFD fund raiser. Shot my first deer with it. After Dad passed I kept it just because it was his. Finally sold it a couple years ago. I have his 03A3 with the original bill of sale, $14. I don't shoot it much, but I'll never sell that one. The 760, I don't miss.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

The 760, I don't miss. This deserves a good 760 story. I learned a lot about hunting bears from a fella that was crippled up pretty good. He'd worked for the railroad and some thieves wanted him to help them steal from the company and when he refused they worked him over with some iron pipes. Years later when we hunted together he was always setting up so he could intercept a bear crossing a two track dirt trail somewhere. Somewhere he could hopefully drive to since he wasn't able to get out in the steep ground well. Well, he shot a 760 in 270. I thought that old pumpgun was just a novelty. Then one day we had our evening hunt planned and he showed up with that 270. He wanted to watch a piece of road where we had determined there was a good bear crossing at 5 every evening on his way to water. I dropped him off there and went down the canyon a mile or so to a spot where there was a monster bear. We had seen this bear twice and I had taken some hair off him at 236 yards with a 300 Winchester magnum, but he made good his escape. Partway through the evening I heard Steve shoot so I climbed in the old Toyota and buzzed down to where I'd left him. He was huffing and puffing and told me the story of how the bear had come to the edge of the dirt road and looked down the bank and Steve had shot him with that old 760, THREE times! I swear he fired that old corn shucker so fast all three shots blended into one sound. We found the bear about 100 yards below the road piled up, deader'n hell. I was so impressed with his ability with that old 760 I tried one the next season. It weren't for me but I can see how in the right hands those things are deadly.

Grandpaw always said it will hurt on both ends if you don't know how to shoot it.

The bartender says, "Who brought the 760?"....

Those 760s make more noise than a coffee can half full of ball bearings on the back of a horse drawn lumber wagon bouncing down a dirt road.

I never said Dad’s didn’t shoot. It was plenty accurate out past 200 with the Redfield 2X7. I just knew I’d never hunt it again, and I wanted the Redfield for my 99R in 250.

They don't rattle any more than any other pump. Pretty popular in states where ginny grinders aren't legal for deer hunting.

My best friend was my late FIL. When he was 75, took him to the range with a beautiful Remington 760 in 270. He shot 3 times at 100 yards. Could cover the group with a nickle. Put it back in the case and said "thats all I need to know".

I collected Remington Model 14s for a while.
As much as I loved the guns, I just couldn't take one hunting.
Carrying them through the woods makes more noise than a baseball card clothes pinned to the spokes of an old banana seat Schwinn with a sissy bar and the stick shift on the cross bar.
