Three years ago I won an auction on gunbroker.com for a new, old stock 7600 in .30-06, vintage 1988, IIRC. I think those years, that is, the 80's to really early 90's, were the pinnacle of the 760 series, as I can't stand the newer ones with that really high Monte Carlo comb and I much prefer the straight comb like mine has. Mine will shoot Remington 165 grain Core-Lokt factory ammo into less than an inch with no problem and it has become the deer rifle I grab when I go back home to WI for the season.
