I have a 1954 M760 in 30-06 that was my Dad's. I've taken 2 or 3 deer with it. It'll get the job done but is not my ideal deer rifle. They seem kinda clunky to me, but this one shoots pretty well and was a real good shooter in it's day. Being a pump, it was cleaned alot from the muzzle and probably could use a re-crown job. There appears to be some rod wear. I use it for nostalgic reasons only. I have a barrel band sling stud on it too. It think the last year I used it was in 2004 when it turned 50, took a spike with it then.
