Is the hanger being referred to as maybe what is on the early ones when the barrels weren't free floated, if I am thinking correctly?
I have a had a few 7600's and still have them in 257 Roberts, 35 Remington, and 300 Savage. I also had a bunch in 35 Whelen. Everyone shot more than accurate enough. I don't think you'll go wrong with either one. I like the 7600's because they aren't fussy about the clips, such as a 760 in 300 Savage.
