JDK - The older 760's had a lower comb and more drop in the butt stock for a better "sight picture" with "open sights". However, with their "skinny" metal butt plates and all that "drop", they were also rather "unpleasant" in the recoil department in the bigger (more powerful) calibers! While the 760 had a different lock-up system than the 7600, they were well made firearms IMO.
