Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

That's a good price these days if it's in good condition.

I do t think kits too old. Late 70’s early 80’s probably. The glossy stock and white line spacer era.

Yes sir. It looks almost brand new. It has black synthetic and doesn’t appear to have been shot much if at all. I was surprised there was no hardware for a sling on it. That’s no big deal to add. I’m still debating whether or not to get it. I definitely don’t need it but hard to pass on a good deal.

Cool, it will a good deer killer for sure. The 06 I found this spring is one of the old ones with the 5 of diamonds checkering pattern...mb

Sounds like a decent one. Definitely a cool donor for a 338 Federal or 358 Win if someone were wanting a quick one.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have a 358 already and really like it and could easily use another.

The little 338 Federal in a 760/7600 would be pretty sweet. Plus, JES makes it so easy to do it.

A little tough to do with a .35 Rem though.

For sure. I’d like one of them as they came.

They made those 760s in 35Remington in both the 1st gen 760 and in the later version 760 with the free floated bbl.

I had one of the later 760s in 35Remington and foolishly sold it. That one is on the short list of the ones I should have not sold.

Me too. I had one long ago. It was the 7600 with the synthetic stock. It's the only Rem pump I've ever had that wouldn't shoot.

I wouldn't feel as bad as making one like that into a 358 I guess

That would be pretty sweet actually.

I am a Model 70 guy or similar through and through, but the 760/7600's I have had and shot to this point have been awesome shooters and nothing much has been handier for deer hunting. Hell, if I was a brave enough soul I'd take one to Wyoming and church up the mountains with a little class with the 7600 280..

Buy buy buy! That was a good price even a couple of years ago.

Wouldn't bother me any. I say go for it.

I haven’t been back to the gun shop to check on it. Just too busy at work. I might get back over there next week. It is a good deal but I hope someone else makes my decision for me.

I think we might have a new contender for opening day.

Those 141’s are great rifles. I had a .35 I turned into a carbine and drilled and tapped for a scope mount. With a 1.5-5 Leupold I had about the best woods gun going. Stupidly I sold it here on the free classified’s. If who ever bought it reads this, I would formally like to ask for the chance to buy it back.

Miguel I thought about chopping this one but it carries so well full length I just can't. Hell I went with the Skinner barrel peep because I didn't want to drill and tap it. It's not perfect and has some warts but I will too at 76 I imagine.
