Interesting. Never heard of that. I'd like to see it too.

Thanks.

Not a fan of the Monte Carlo. But wouldn't mind close to a parallel comb. Is the 7600 somewhat straighter than the old 760. Pics seem to indicate it is.

May have been taken off an 870 upland shotgun. Or made up, not sure. Something doesn't look right.

That trigger really cost you on that one
Heckuva buck!

Looks like a Rossi to me

I've owned several of them and killed game with them in 270 and 30-06 The most accurate was a 7600 in 7mm-08 and I hate myself for letting it get away.

IIRC, the straight grip stock from a 20 gauge 870 Special Field style is the stock that was used.

It is a IMI Timberwolf in either .357 or .44 Magnum.

Did Rossi ever make one?

Years ago I use to have friends come to visit me in Ak and we would embark on a coastal spring black bear hunt. 1st year I had 2 buddies from pa come and bring their 7600's in 30-06. The guy at the local sporting goods store almost downright refused to sell them 150 Cor-loks, insisting they "needed atleast 180's". The other two fellas who came brought a 350 Rem Mag and a 375 H&H.

The 2 guys from pa got their bear within the first couple days, no tracking/bloodtrailing, etc. Just bang, bang drag it to the zodiac. The guy with the 350 rem mag missed several bears that week and scoped himself multiple times...enough that he looked like Rocky Balboa by the end of the week. I didnt know him personally, but took him at the advice of a friend. Fella with the 375 missed a bear on a tough shot (was with him). Hunted with him on many occasions afterward and he always connected. Better guy you couldnt ask for, just took a tough shot.

Not an expert, but the older 760s had a hangar that connected the barrel to the pump slide. So the barrel wasnt totally free-floated. Dont know how much effect if any it had on accuracy. Also IIRC the old ones had an aluminum dust cover vs. the plastic ones. Like I mentioned earlier, the sights changed many times throughout production.

I put a Timney Trigger Fix in my 870 Wingmaster with the lightest spring, then put the Medium spring in my 1950s 760 '06 and the (not) Heavy spring in son's 870.

All three are crisp and slicker than spotted owl poop.

Ive got a buddy that has one NIB in 25-06 I have never seen another in that caliber though I am sure they are out there. I cant get him to part with it or shoot it.

if I am not mistaken Grice's did a limited run on a 7600 in 25-06.

Also not an expert. I've had three 760s IIRC and now a few M 6s, deluxe 7600.

I prefer the fewer, larger locking lugs on the newer pumps. I don't know if it really matters but I like the idea and looks.

The farther back you go with 760s the greater drop at toe/heel. All the 7600/6s have straighter stocks.

The M 6s have Monte Carlo & cheek pieces, which I like. The 6s also have thinner pistol grips, which I also like. Their fore ends are 'sorta' wedge shaped, smaller at the front end and larger at the rear. They are also CUT checkering.

The M 6s have the cartridge head for that particular rifle embedded in the bottom of the receiver.

I wanted to take/post a few pics today but the WX wouldn't permit. Hopefully we'll have a decent day tomorrow. Remington dropped the M 6 s @ 1990 or so.

I 'think' you can google Rem M 6 pump rifle and get an idea of what they look like. I remember you have to be specific about "pump rifle".

I have 1 pic I can post tonight but it's not a close up.

The bottom rifle does NOT have the Bell & Carlson stocks on it now. 2 are 270, 1 is 06, and 1 is 6mm Rem.


Jerry

Well with all the teasing about a .270 being gay what is a .243 ?

MATO. Work on him!

Jerry,
I've always wanted a Model Six. I may start seriously looking for one next year.

Thanks for the pic and I'd be interested in seeing some close ups when you get a chance. It's been several years since I've seen one.

The M6 is a sleek, elegant version of the 7600.

But the cheek piece is on the wrong side, as usual!
