When I started hunting in New England in the late 1960s, Remington 760s were commonly seen in the woods or at deer camps. As were a variety of semi-automatic and lever action rifles. Bolt action rifles were quite uncommon back then.

I like the Remington 760/7600 series, but think that what the 14/141 series lack in strength is more than offset in "character".

Last year, I bought a 760 in 30-06 that had lived in Sweden and was repatriated by Simpson's. This particular 760 has the stock covered with moose/elk decal tags. Kind of an interesting piece.
