Hey Les.
I've been trying to figger out a way to put a scope rail on my 760-358Win in addition to the peep.
How did ya do that? No doubt had the receiver retapped?

Anybody ever wonder why a guy with a name like 'Savage 99' is always bashing push feeds? Who has ever seen a CRF Savage 99? actually though the guy is an idiot and i dont have one anymore to double check, i do believe the 99 functions as a CRF, just cause you dont have the big mauser extractor doesnt mean its not a CRF....last i checked my SMLE functions as a CRF caus the rim slides under the extractor every time at about the same spot in travel it does on a Mauser

I wouldn't take that bet. I have an 06 in a 7600 that would embarrass some folks as well...and that's with green box 165 gr.
Camp is where you make it.

Killed my first buck with a 760 Game Master in 30-06. Still have it.
Little heavy, easy to shoot well even with a chitty trigger. I like 'em.
One in 9.3x62 with a 21-22' bbl and a peep would be bad azz.

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. Patrick

In Pa the oddball totes a bolt action rifle for rifle deer season. All the one gun arsenal deer hunters have 760, 7600s. Except the old timers, they carried savage 99s

I've actually seen people laughed out of camp that showed up with stainless/synthetics

I think I would like that deer camp, and fit right in.
I do hope to travel to the NE someday and hunt Whitetail Deer the old way in old country with my 35 Whelen Pump while wearing all of my LL Bean stuff. Maine hunting shoes, red and black wool, etc. Such an outing or hunt is on my bucket list.

Bout the time you started your horsetrading, and imbibed how you are a good Christian, you'd likely be shot on site

In my neck of the woods (Sullivan county) bolt guns took over back in the 90's already. Around home though pumps and levers reign supreme.

I was not trying to invite myself to your camp, and it will be a long while before I am up to any such adventure anyway. But I do tend to fit in well wherever I go in person and was only suggesting that I would be right at home in a camp full of rifle traditionalists. That part is true for sure. And I thought this thread was about model 760's and 7600's etc. not the other crap.
It would be awesome if threads about guns, in gun forums, could be and remain about - GASP - guns and the topic of the particular thread.

No, you wouldn't. After the first drink in camp you'd start with your "not many people have done all that I've done, yada, yada, yada" chatter and your duffel bag would be waiting for you outside the next day.

If anyone found out about conning old people, he would most likely have about 30 seconds to get out on his own.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...
