My first deer rifle is a "new style" 760 (squared off pump, not corncob) in .308. I recently acquired an old style 760 rebored to .358 Win that I hope to shoot a few with this year. My Dad's first rifle was a old style 760 .30-06 that has killed a couple truck loads of deer, a Pa Black Bear, and god knows what else. he has taken to collecting 760's since retiring and has a variety of calibers, but his 2 .257's are his favorites. Saw a 760 stamped ".244 Remington" once, but wasn't about to pay the fella what he was asking.
