I'm enjoying the OLD hunting camp stories too.
My Dad got a 760 in 30-06 in the early 60s but I didn't know where or from whom. It basically looked new to me but it certainly didn't have much wear.
In Ark. during the 50s-60s deer were 'scarce'. I remember Dad and Grandpa saying that the mere sight of a deer track would draw a crowd just to see one.
That 760 of Dad's plus my using 870s was why I got into pump rifles. I had one 760 in 270 but later moved to the Model Sixes. I had 760 rechambered for the 35 Whelen but other than those 2 all my pumps have been Sixes.
Keep em comin
