I like the 35 calibers in these too.

Mine is an early model (I forget if it was 1954 or '56?) that had some pitting and not much finish so I touched it up a little, and set it up for heavy subsonic loads. Kills deer about like you'd expect - pretty dead.

Did you re-stock that? I have a 1954 760 in 30-06 and it looks like the one in the link above.



No, but like I said, I couldn't remember if this one was from 1954 or 56. I had two, built a couple years apart according to the numbers, the older one had wood like your link shows, with the corn cob forend.

The rifle in my pic above has the "diamond pattern" forend that came a couple years after the early corn cob forends. It also has a cheek piece on the stock, which I like a lot better than the drop comb on the earlier rifle. That is original wood on this rifle, and hasn't been refinished. The wood has a really dark reddish color that you don't see much any more.

BTW, fixed your link, in Photobucket just click on the "IMG" code and paste it here.
