Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Tell me about your REMINGTON 7600 pump

You don't need a scope with BDC lines for this rifle. You need a small, quality variable scope in low or x-low rings.

IN my part of PA , they are called "Amish machine guns"

Hey SC, except for the scope mounts, you have the twin to my .358Win.

I have owned 2 of these in 06 and now would like a 308 with about a 20" tube. Shooting boogers I had, know a guy with a 243 that shoots under 3/4" all day long.

SuperCub, that is a fine looking set-up.

I don't use a Remington pump-gun, but I DO have some short-range scopes.
My favorite scope on my "all-around" rifle, is the Redfield "WideField" 2-7 variable. It is a crosshair model on an FN Mauser .270 AI. I don't believe in shooting at an unwounded animal at more than 350-400 yards so a 2 1/2x to 4X scope sighted about 2" high will work just fine.
I have severals scopes with TKLee dots in them. My Lyman 4X has a 4moa dot, my Weaver K2.5 has a 3moa dot, the Weaver V5 has a 2moa dot, and the K6 has a 1moa dot, but it is mounted on my varmint-calling rifle, a .257 "Bob."
The Lee dot is on a crosshair that is almost invisible, but your subconscious can pick it up. The single dot will allow you to range-estimate in a hurry, in the ranges you would be shooting.
The reason I have so many of the old steel Weavers is that I picked up several with "telephone pole" or 4x4 crosshairs at a good price and sent them in to Lee. I think they are GREAT!
I've read a lot of Jack O'Conner and he seemed to think they were all right.
Have fun,

Those carbines are handy little rifles, esp if a small scope goes on them. One in 358 would be a great rifle for just about everything where i live.

Over the years, I had a couple 760 rifles cut back to 20" and found I liked that bbl length better than the std 18.5" carbine length.

Thanks .... I've had that 760 Carbine for a looong time. It belonged to my grandfather. Iswapped the original stock out a 7600 stock w/o the with lines and had a thin declerator added.

They are about the only rifle that screams "woods rifle" as much as a Model 94 Winchester, and truth be known, are far more versatile than an M94.

That's coming from a long-time M94 user, but it happens to be the truth.

That's what I did, too. Great minds think alike, I guess!

We're weird!

I know this thread is dated but I carried my carbine all season here in Maine. Ended up hunting 9 1/2 days overall and killed a buck the last Saturday of the season. I'll do some things differently for next year. The 2.5x8 is the least favorite Leupold I own and I will be getting a 1x4 or 1.5x5 for next season. Really don't like the cheap Leupold rings I put on so that will be upgraded also, and plan to play around with a few more loads. I killed my deer at about 20 yards with a single 165gr. factory Core-lokt. While I'm not a huge fan of the 06,and certainly not Core-lokts, everything worked fine and he dropped in his tracks but I want to play a little more with the rifle.

We had snow all season long and I was on my feet for pretty much the entire time I hunted. That little carbine was a joy to carry.

my 35 remington 141 pump

this is my brother's cut down model 14 in 30 remington

we like to call it Dr. Death

It was a good tracking year in VT as well. Snow from beginning to end. Shot my buck hunting the thick stuff on the first Wednesday of the season. 7600 carbine using 180 grain round nose core-lok. One shot, one kill. Love my Leupold 1.5-5.
