Brings A LOT of memories back that don't seem all that long ago! Grew up in Forest County, PA....so no deer camp but had guys come up from Pittsburgh, PA for the week. Always brought an old Willys Jeep with them that was used to transport hunters in and deer out. I was just coming of hunting age then and most of these guys used 760s, a few bolts, but mostly 760s in .270 and .30-06. My stepdad graduated from a 141 in .35 Remington to a 760 in .30-06. I now have those rifles and have taken a few whitetails with them to refresh those memories. No one to give them to so the stories that belong to them will be lost when I go.....seems a shame but someone else will hopefully make some new memories
.
Love the 760s have had a bunch in my life in .222, .223, 6mm, 270, 30-06, 300 savage, 35 Remington and 358 Winchester. All of them seem to shoot but my stepdad's in 30-06 shot the best and still amazes me with sub 1/2" groups with ammo it likes(all factory ammo never had a reload in it
)
Great thread!!
