WN, i have a load for a 1955 year model 760 in 30-06 with 165gr Speer flat base hot cor, it wears the same old Redfield 2-7 in weaver bases and rings it's had since i bought it more than 30 years ago, didn't chrono the load, only set it 2 inches high at 100, dont think it'll matter, just book charge of imr-4831, i dont expect to be let down with accuracy or performance this side of 200 yards.
That's about as American as it gets right there.
I decided to set one my 760's up with Skinners... Well, the rear sight went on great but after attaching the front sight base and drifting the bead into the base it popped outta the darned screw hole.. Oh well, I wanted a carbine anyhow, I'll send it out to the smiths, let him lop a couple inches off and reattach the front sight properly, versus me hamfisting it.
