Good snag. And good choice on the scope.
As for the stiff action...the problem usually is a rubber 'O' ring inside the forearm mechanism. Take the forearm off and shoot some Rem Oil inside the tube. Work the action a couple of times. If that doesn't help, remove the slide and replace the 'O' ring. Get one the same size at Menards or some plumbing shop.
Most used 760/7600's that have been sitting for a couple of years have this problem. Easy fix. No worries.
