SKane Campfire Ranger Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 24,628 Midwest	Originally Posted by whelennut My father in law passed away about 12 years ago and left us a 7600 .243 it is more accurate than my bolt guns. I don't use it on deer though. It seems kind of like a girls rifle. Even my wife shot a .308. Would the factory rebarrel it to something more manly like .338 Federal? Bite your tongue man! WWP53D

The only issue I ever had with it is the forearm is just a little noisy when bringing the gun from shouldering it with the sling to shooting position.

This one is 40 years old too and in pretty good condition. I look forward to carrying and shooting it more. It is also a 30-06..

The forearm just seems to have a lot of movement to it when it's "rocked" from side to side. I just figured the 760's were all that way.

I was looking at BSA's picture and thought it was yours. Brain fart! Another easy fix might be to replace the rubber "O" ring on the forearm tube. Over time they get brittle if not lubed. I think I bought some at Menards (plumbing dept) to fix a rattle in one years ago. Worth a try. 'Tis far better to walk alone than to follow a crowd going the wrong way.

They're surprisingly accurate but I just can't get past the forearm movement and rattle so I've never held on to them. Last edited by Ghostman; 12/27/15.

WyoCoyoteHunter Campfire Ranger W Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 17,760 Wyoming	tzone, not real bad... My cousin is in pretty bad shape and I would buy it because it was his.. Last time I looked it over, the bore was excellent, but there was light finger print rust on the receiver and barrel.. Any idea what would be a fair price?? If I were going to be hunting in Pa. or W Va. like I did 15 years ago, I would be more interested.. Thanks .. Molon Labe

I've tried to like them, but I just can't shoot them well after I get off the bench. The forearm makes me put my left hand too far out forward, farther than any other rifle I've owned.
