Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

jwall,

Fyi, a LARGE percentage of executors couldn't care less what caliber that a rifle is (I get most of my rifles that way or from garage sales.) AND anything but "naught six" is deemed "worthless" by a considerable percentage of hunters here.

I got my .222 & .280 REM Model 760 rifles "for peanuts" at garage sales, as "You can't hardly find shells for those weird things."
(Fyi, even the pawnbroker that I bought my "as new" 760 in .244REM, said, "I don't know what you want that thing for. I can't find ammunition for it." = He sold it to me for 60 bucks, in 1966.)

Btw, my niece, TARA, borrowed the .244 until I got tired & told her to "Just keep it", about a decade ago. - She gets her deer with that "oddball caliber" more often than I do. = BORN HUNTRESS, is our Tara.
(She calls it: "PURR-fectly GIRL-sized".)

Understood & Congrats to her.

OTOH, estate sales, & garage sellers, & ignorant retailers DON’T participate here.

So, I should have qualified my statement as pertaining to our participants.

Cheers

jwall,

TRUE.

It is still showing as being available on their site. They must be really slow about updating it.

They're like Cabelas...............a little slow. In all fairness, I just bought it yesterday.

It was meant to be. I didn’t intend to offend satx.


Did you commit to keep or sell that 300 S ?

Jerry

jwall,

You didn't offend me. = Unlike the "snowflake left", I'm (more or less) at 72YO a grown-up.

I didn’t think you were offended, I was telling W N that I only meant it in fun & didn’t intend
it to be offensive.

* snowflakes *, SMH, I agree. Altho I’m not so sure ‘their’ offense MAY be a ploy as an
EASY way to silence the TRUTH sayers !!

I’m 69 and grew up on John Wayne, Cassius Clay (ha), Chuck Norris.

I can take it AND GIVE it back.

Thnx. Have a Goodun

Someone wanted it more than me. It is now part of another collection.

OKAY, it's just as well.

Even tho I would really like to have a 760 in 300 Savage, it would NOT replace my FAV rifles that I hunt regularly.

For the last several years I have ROTATED what I hunt.
IN 2018 it was T3X Lite SS 7 RM
IN 2017 it was Custom 98 in 284 Win
IN 2016 it was Rem M 6 in 30-06
In 2015 it was Rem M 6 in 270 W

EVERY year I have 1 or 2 sighted in and ammo ready as a BACK UP. One year recently I fell so hard that I BOUNCED and my T 3 270
hit the ground hard. I simply changed rifles. Later I checked the 270,--- it was OFF >> R about 1 1/2"

STUFF happens.

ATST the 760 in 300 Savage is a KOOOL rifle/round.

Thanks Mr. Paul

J, if they have a web, Grices in Clearfield Pa. Usually has a ton of pump action rifles.. Of course most are 06 and 270. But some unusual stuff turns up there.. Haven't been there in a year or so... Check it out if you can..

WCH

Yes I’m familiar with Grice’s. I know I have 1 Rifle that came thru them
Somewhere in my F M D (fading memory disorder) there’s another rifle that
I have OR had ?? from them. Now it’ll drive me crazy till I figure that one out. grin

ATST I need another (any other) Rifle like I need a stroke !!

Thanks for the suggestion. The 300 Savage is just a cartridge I’ve not had but
I also don’t have a gap (niche) that it would fill.

Thnx

Jerry

jwall,

Inasmuch as the .300SAV is about the ballistic equal of the .308WCF & nearly as powerful in several loads as the standard 150 grain .30-06, I doubt that anyone who has any of the 3 chamberings of rifles truly NEEDS the other 2.

Nonetheless, WANTING to own (or possessing, as I do) all 3 for any lawful use is OK, too.

Hey satx

I don’t need NO enablers !

Jerry

jwall,

Aren't the members of the forum ALL "enablers" & "arms-aholics"?? ====> LOL.

yours, tex

I would like a 760 in 35 rem or 300sav. or a sav. pump in 30/30 dont need either but what dose that have to do with it

You all are making me want one!!

Picked up a high condition, true 141R carbine in 32 Rem and will probably carry it a couple days this fall.

The last deer I shot in WV was with a Rem 141 rifle in .35 Rem. With a peep sight .

Many moons ago Grice's had a special run of Remington pumps in .257 Bob. Wish I'd have gotten one of them when I could.
