I grew up in upstate NY, 45 mins from Rem factory. I was a diehard Ithica deerslayer mod #37 user for many years. When my WMU went Rifle legal I bought a 7600 .308. I had modest success with the gun, but was never 100% satisfied. The gun is a fine firearm but not the Remington quality I'm used to. A few of my older hunting partners have/do use the older 760 and love it. In my limited exposure to the Rem pump gun I'd have to vote for the "old" version over the "new". Just my 2 cents.
