Scope: Is a 4x fixed power Leupold scope with plex reticle ever a mistake on non-dangerous big game at any responsible shooting distance? Nope. That's what my FN Mauser 98 JC Higgins model 50 30-06 wears. Your hunting range is to 200 yards? Sight 1-2" high at 100 yards, and hold dead on at any distance to 200 yards. It doesn't get any simpler than that for a sighting device. They go for $150 used on ebay. Leupold has a lifetime warranty. No brainer. Not sure if Leopold has the reticle you are describing, but to 200 yards, it's not needed. Load: Tough to beat IMR 4350 for a 30-06 bullet weight from 165-200+ grains.

I ask because I've been kicking around reboring a -06 to a 12 or 14 twist 35 Whelen and JES reboring (who's a few hours away) only lists the 760, not the 7600 or model 6. His site doesn't list an Email address or I'd ask him directly. A co-worker is flying to the Gettysburg Penn area to deer hunt with his family next week. I told him to be on the lookout for a good -06 Rem pump while he's back there. Seems he'd never heard the Amish Machine Gun nickname before, I'll bet his brother has, this might give them a couple laughs. Any preferences between the older or newer versions? I like the theoretical accuracy advantage of the 7600's telescoping pump over the barrel mounted 760's pump. Anything else to differentiate between them? The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution. David Horowitz, Saul Alinsky and every woman I've ever argued with.

It's of the vintage that has a high gloss finish and hasn't seen much use. I sighted the irons in with some handloads featuring 165 gr Corelokts and IMR 4350, shoots fine. Next I put a 1 piece Weaver base and rings on it. Took a old Weaver K-4 series 60-B 4x scope and mounted that. Sighted in for 1.5" hi at 100yds. I also added a barrel band sling swivel kit to it using an old 1" sling off a 700 BDL. Took it hunting 5 times so far and have not shot anything yet, I dunno it comes up like a well fit shotgun but carries like a club. Hey you asked. Magnum Man

Do you know of a web site I can see the cross hairs of the BDC??? I am leaning for less clutter So this is important to me.

This will be my first season with it but so far it's very accurate, quick handling and just cool as can be. There is a 30/06 at the local fun store that may wander in here if it's not careful. When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Have your friend check out Redding Hardware in GBurg and take a run over to Sell's in Hanover. I hunted a farm on Red Rock Road for years and it was a real meat- packing plant. Marsh Creek ran right through the middle. My friend's place was used for some of the shots in the Gettysburg film they made a while back, including the opening scene where the Rebel scout fords the stream. That ford is the same place we used to cross in warm weather. What fresh Hell is this?

You can put some stress on the telescoping type mounting the sling swivel on the end of them. The main difference between the 760 and 7600 is the 760s have multiple bolt locking lugs like a Weatherby and the 7600s have 3 lugs. I don't know what year Remington's quality started slipping but the early 7600s are regarded as better than the new ones. 760 quality seems the same throughout production. I may be wrong but IIRC the carbine barrels are a bit heavier (thicker).

The 760 pump mechanism is not barrel mounted, it attaches to the receiver same as the 7600. In a 760, the piece at the end of the pump tube that contacts the barrel can be removed, making the barrel free-floated. 4th point's picture shows a 760 with that piece removed.

Remington cleaned up the trigger (4 lbs with a nice roll-off) and reversed the safety (I'm a lefty). It wears a 4X Lyman. Out of 9 .30-06s, it's my sentimental favorite. It's currently zeroed for Fed factory 165 GameKings. Bob Last edited by RGK; 11/19/14.

Help keep our sport going. take a kid outdoors!

wink_man Campfire Regular W Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 1,732 Socialist Republic of NJ	Originally Posted by SKane Able, For a "jump 'em and shoot 'em" gun, it doesn't get much better than a pump. The last thing I'd consider for such an application is clutter in the scope. No lines, to spinners - just a simple crosshair. 300 yards is easily achieved with a 4x or 1.5x5 scope but if you want more magnification, I'd consider a 2x7ish. And, yes, the 7600's are quite accurate. I think SKane hits the nail right on the head, on all counts. Lower gun is a 1979 vintage Remington 760 30-06 carbine with the same year Leupold VariX III 1.5X5 variable. Upper gun is a 7400 in .308 with a Denver Redfield Widefield 2X7. I've hunted the 760 carbine since 1979, the 7400 not quite as long. Hunting in the east, in thick cover, these guns were designed to do what SKane said and they do it well with low powered scopes without any clutter in them. In all these years, I've never moved the power setting of either gun from the lowest setting in an actual hunting situation, and in certain situations would probably have been hindered with a 3X9 variable when deer were real close and moving out fast and my lowest option would have been 3 power.
