Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

Uncle A. I did not look close when I saw what it was, I don't think it is high.. I will be over that way in the next couple days and check....

Picked up the 760 BDL from the gunshop today. Picture is just as I got it.

As I said, manufacture date December 1979, BDL deluxe in 30-06 with 22 inch barrel.
Gun is clean, immaculate, not even any bluing wear marks on the pump tube. Couldn't have been shot much, if at all.

Scope is a newer Redfield Revolution, with the Accu Range reticle. I don't see me keeping this scope on the gun though. Looks brand new and the scope base is loose to boot, makes me think he hastily put the scope on to sell it.
Anyone have an idea what this scope is worth?

I'm pretty lucky to have now 3 1979 vintage 760's all clean, 99%. 2 appear unfired, the 3rd, well my 06 carbine may be clean, but it's shot a bunch of deer since 1979 when I bought it, that one has definitely been fired
Here's the new one I just picked up from the dealer.

Good snag!

That 308 would soon be a 358 rebore if I had it. You have a collection of quite useable guns there. I should stick with mostly one kind of gun. I have accululatoritis. Be Well, RZ.

Rusty, as you already know, I love myM760 .358Win. it's a 35Rem rechambered. I call it my 'baby Whelen'

That’s a good looking BDL. I would think that scope would bring around $150.

I think a baby Whelen is a good gun. Haven't hunted with it but I have been shooting my 9X56 Steyr M/S. What a blast. Haven't Labradar'ed the load but a 250 gr Hornady at a moderate velocity will probably go through two does. Also have some Brit Kynoch ammo in the original 10 round box. I am still debating if I should shoot one box over the LabRadar. Good to hear from you. People who haven't shot the 760 series or used the 358 Winchester will never appreciate what the medium bore at a moderate speed can do. Be Well, RZ.

Thanks. Same guy I bought the .308 Carbine from.

Trying to get an idea what that scope is worth in case I decide to sell it, and don't want to get flamed by the AZZHOLES for overpricing it. It's a real nice scope but doesn't really fit that rifle.

I've got a period correct Denver Redfield Low Profile Widefield 2X7 Gloss that would go perfect on this rifle. Scope is pristine, just like the gun except for the adjustment caps. I bought it from bbrown here with the understanding he couldn't get it to hold zero on a rifle and he wasn't sure if it was the gun, rings/base, or the scope.

So I called Iron Sight and they have new adjustment caps and can completely recondition the scope to original factory specifications for their normal fee.
And for an additional $15, I can get a Post & Crosshair reticle to replace the duplex it currently has. Think I'm going to go that route rather than waste a bunch of ammo finding out it is the scope.

I like the old Widefeilds. Still have one on a 7mag.

Nice buck

I bought 2 NIB 35 whelens today.. consecutive serial numbers.

Bought another 7600 carbine yesterday., these pump rifles are addictive.

If someone is looking for 760’s i know where a few of them are as of yesterday.. .300 savage, 270, 308

NICE! Congrats, can you post us up some pics?

For sure, the 300 Savage. I'd like to know if they aren't crazy expensive.

Nice buy!

I'm interested in the .308 if you're not. I'm in MN.

I will post pics when I get them all together and set up..

I sent one 35 whelen out to TGI creations for a little work.
Getting the trigger worked on, cerakote, barrel fluted and cut down.

There's 1936 FFL dealers in Minnesota. I just started calling them on Monday. After about 200 calls I found a total of 9 7600/760's

I bought 2 nib whelen's and an .06 carbine since I started my little outbound calling effort.

Great! Thanks.

You know what I hate about these Remington pump guns? They shoot so well there's no reason to reload for them. This is the first 5 shot group with the Cabela's Herters branded 180 gr. at 100. Top shot is a cold bore. this gun likes the Federal blue box 150s even better. My 308 is the same way. Loves the Blue box 150 and Core lokt 150s. both less than an inch average. It's getting to be a guy can't find a good reason to burn up his primer supply with these things around.

Was just looking into a set of Talley LW rings for mine.

Mount a NIB USA made Burris FF 1.5x on top.

You are right about that! I have a 7600 carbine in 308. It's called a QWAC. it was a Grice special. It shoots a number of factory loads into bug holes. I can't believe it.

all of mine shoot remington factory ammo in tight groups with the exception of my whelen and 200gr corelokts. it likes the 250's better and some custom ammo from wisconsin cartridge in 200gr SP. not sure of the load with those.

need to try the superperformance one of these days when ammo becomes available. but truthfully, my whelen carbine kicks like a freaking mule so i only shoot it when i am going to hunt with it.
