First, I'm glad your feelings are not hurt. That was NOT my intention.
I didn't go back to see IF you said what 'caliber' your carbine is. I also don't recall WHICH lever 35 you're looking for.
On the subject of 'range', I've killed deer at 12' (feet) with a 700 BDL 7 RM, so that's moot to me.
AS you know, $$$ of ALL rifles have gone thru the roof. As with anything else, anything is worth what 'someone' will pay.
My Model Six in 06 is lighter than the 6mm or 270s.....SO I'd expect your carbine in 06 or 308 will NOT be heavy.
On the subject of levers... 94 or 336........... 336 is the only 1 I'd consider and it is HEAVY.
I prefer light but IMO the 'older' 336s are much better made.
So you see, there are several factors FOR ME on the subject, not just one.
ATST I've stated repeatedly that "As Long As Anyone Is Happy With Their Rifle...That's All That Matters".
I hope I've answered your ? and I appreciate your attitude about my statement.
Good Luck, whatever decision you make.

Thank you and I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want to hear your opinion. Just to clarify, I'm not looking for a 35 Remington in a lever action as I have 2 already. One will be my grandson's rifle when he is old enough to hunt. I'm looking for a 760 or 7600 chambered in 35 Remington. My current 7600 carbine is a 30-06 and it is heavier than the bolt actions that I currently use. MY 7600 only shoots 180 gr bullets well and the recoil is quite stiff for a dedicated deer and black bear rifle. You will never, ever, hear me say anything bad about the 06, but I find it needlessly heavy for what I do. It is however a very handy rifle.

Not too far away last yr a guy had a blued/ walnut 7600 in .35 rem. Minty. Was not cheap.

Whelennut that 243 can be bored by JES to 358 Winchester. But according to gunzwizzzz it probably won't break the target paper past 100 yards. Be Well, RZ.

Guys, All y'all:
Something triggered my ? memory ? . I was watching American Pickers and they 'found' a Daisy PUMP BB gun in excellent condition and the original box.
Looking at that reminded me that I HAD a PUMP BB gun as a Kid and I've liked Pumps ever since.
Neat little trivia TO ME.

Daisy model 25. I had one. I think I saw some used for sale at Airguns of Arizona. If not look at the other large airgun stores. Maybe Utah Airguns or some others. Good luck. Be Well, RZ.

Was not cheap. ya they did them a couple times. blued walnut and synthetic matte. i bought the blued/walnut when they came out for 500 bucks. i have seen them go over 2 grand now. i think the 760/7600 carbine is ideal for PA woods. i have them in '06, 35 rem and 35 whelen and they get used regularly.

Down in the Classifieds there is a 760 BDL "Humpback" for sale. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...-deluxe-humpback-gamemaster-30-06#UNREADThere are quite a few questions on why Remington made some with the humpback. Does anyone here know the answer?

The 760 BDL Deluxe was introduced in 1966 and had Basket Weave checkering straight through till 1979, after which it became the Model 6. The only difference in the ADL versus the BDL deluxe was the basket weave checkering, so Remington put the hump on to be able to identify that the barreled action was a BDL deluxe because other than that there is no difference. If on yahoo search you google "remington 760 basket" you will get many images and all the images with the basket weave checkering on the stocks have the hump on the receiver. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/x5mbKQR/760BDL.jpg)

Wondering if a new tube/actionbar could convert my old 760 to 7600 forend UIM, and I could be...... EDIT>> ( yep, probably was) The fore end (wood handle) will (should) interchange. Maybe not, I think so. There is a 20 gauge shotgun butt stock WILL fit the 760/7600. I don't claim to be any expert. Jerryhad EDIT -- > it's 7;07 AM, Monday, I remembered 'some OLDER' 760s had a tube 'thru' the fore end handle. It depends on how OLD your 760 is. Sorry - FMD = Fading Memory Disorder You guys might want to contact Redneck on here. I know he does trigger jobs on 7600's so he might be a good one to ask.

I know the differences, just wondered if a parts swap would work.
( Something not obvious or a hidden tweak needed ).
Am lazy....will run it as is this yr LOL.
Mine is a '63 model so has tube through.
So action bar, forend and tube would be needed.
At least thats what it appears.

My pump is a 308. I usually use round nose core lokts or 180 round nose hornadys. I was wondering how many of you guys use round nose bullets in your rifle?

I was wondering how many of you guys use round nose bullets in your rifle? i use RN corelokt 200's in my pump 35 rems. the hornady plastic ones work good too. i tried a box of 150's years ago in one and they did not shoot well. for my 30 cal pumps i usually use SP 165 in 06 and 150 in 308. the whelen gets 200 SP's. the 270 gets 130 SP's.

I use round nose bullets in my 30-30 and 35 REM pump guns unless I'm shooting Hornady LeverEvolution factory loads. When I lived in NH back in the late 1980s I used 170 grain RNCL 30-30 bullets in a Remington 760 in 300 Savage that I hunted with back then. I use pointed bullets in my 270 and 30-06 pump guns, Winchester/Olin PowerMax bonded in the 270 and Remington PCL in the 30-06.
