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

Surprizingly accurate rifle. Tell him to take it to a smith and have a trigger job done on it, and he will be in good shape. I also agree to encourage him to buy a new one.

iambrb, Remington listes them as 7.5 lbs. I've never weighed mine. They handle great.

Whoa, here's a good one. No comb or whiteline spacers! Interesting checkering pattern. Great rare caliber!

I've got one of the newer 7600 synthetics in 308. I love it. It shoots great.

I had one in .30-06. When I pulled it to my shoulder, it pointed like a good upland shotgun. Have him to give some consideration to a .308.

Hereabouts, we call 'em "Amish machine guns". They have quite the following with the PA Dutch straw-hat army during deer season.

Never had any interest in them myself. But there's quite a bunch of English carrying them in Penn's Woods come fall, as well.

One of the features of the 760/7600 pumps , not often mentioned is that it's pretty much weatherproof . The action is not open to the elements , the bolt doesn't ice up or take in water and snow .

There's a 35 Whelen, among others, in Uncle Henry's this week.

Accurate enough, least for me.

My father in law bought a used Model 6 in .243 Winchester which is so accurate it makes me sick. It will outshoot any bolt gun I have in a deer caliber.
It is a little fussy about chambering reloads and it could use a new clip but the dam thing is accurate!
It is very easy to lighten the trigger pull on these.

I loved my 760. It was my go-to deer gun for a good 10yrs. When I found it in a local used rack it was in almost mint condition. A perfect 760 in .270WIN and had to have it. It saw alot of mountain, truck, and Bucks. Accurate and handy a great rifle. Eventually I wanted to get rid of that steel butt plate and clean it up as it had served me well. I gave it a full make over.

Great photo array! Thanks!

I just picked up as of yesterday, one of the cleanest, absolute pristine 760's to walk in the front door of our shop in a while!!!! Born in January, 1954 and in .270 Win. calibre! I can't wait to get it to the range!!!!! It's slick as a gut!!!

there is a 7600/30-06 for sale in the classifieds for $325, in north carolina i think. looks good in the pics.

I have a 7600 in 280 Remington, a caliber I've always been greatly fond of. I killed a nice 4-point in Colorado in 1990 with a load using IMR-4350 and the Hornady 139 BTSP. That rifle with that load is almost boring. All you gotta do is take it to the range before season, shoot 3 rounds which always land in an inch exactly 3" high at 100 yds, and go huntin'. I've also got an older 760 in .30-06 which I haven't shot yet, but I'm thinkin' IMR4350 and Hornady or Speer 165's oughta be prime fixin's in that joker. 760's/7600's have been puttin' deer on the ground for as long as they've been made, and always will.

Shot this one for the final time before the season starts. She's ready to go. Model 760 .35Rem with Redfield Revolution 2-7x33 in leupold rings and bases. Could cover the 200gr core lokts at 50 yds with a quarter.

Just saw a new but rack worn 7600 35 Whelan for $499 and a used M7600 in 280 Remington at $559 in avg condition. what say you guys abut those prices? Magnum Man

Hard to pass on a good 35Whelen but I would rather have a 760.

760: $350. - $550.
7600: $400. - $700.

I've had a 760 and a few 7600's. The 7600 I have now is an 06. I gave the last 7600(270) to my youngest son when he turned 21. That 270 shot 1/4" groups at 100 Meters with the first hand load I tried. I have not rung this 06 out yet. I like the wood versions. My nephew has my old 760 (06). He's had it now for 20 years or so. He doesn't think he'll ever need another rifle.
I'd like to buy a reasonable priced 7600 in 35 Whelen and another in 280. I think the 7600 is a better rifle than the 760. The best thing about the 760 over the 7600 is that it is drilled and tapped for aperture sights. But, I think the 7600's are easier to shoot accurately off the bench.

That price for the Whelen is good. I've seen 280's for less in plastic stock version.

GOOD PRICE
