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? More manly? The 243 is plenty of rifle for deer. Are you being serious? Well with all the teasing about a .270 being gay what is a .243 ?
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

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. MATO. Work on him! I even tried to get him drunk and talk him out of it..... He can drink a lot more than me.
I've always been different with one foot over the line.....

The .243 and 6mm Remington account for a substantial amount of elk where I am from.
Quite frankly, I would not hesitate in the least bit to hunt big mule deer and elk with my 6mm Remington. Not trying to cause trouble but your daughter shot her elk with a .308 Tikka with 155 Scenar if I remember correctly. I know guys have used .223 on deer but I have to many others for that assignment.

Jerry, I've always wanted a Model Six. I may start seriously looking for one next year. The Sixes are hard to find. I've been told Rem only made 1000 of them. Good Luck. Wx permitting I'll take a few close ups tomorrow. The M6 is a sleek, elegant version of the 7600. But the cheek piece is on the wrong side, as usual! That depends if you are in your RIGHT mind or LEFT. Mine Left, IYKWIM ? Jerry

The only pump guns that Rossi made, that I recall seeing, were the Winchester 62 clones, the Rossi 62 in .22LR and the 59 in .22Mag.

I see sixes around here a bit. For the price they command, you can buy 2 7600s.

MarcAccording to Eugene Myszkowski's book, Remington Autoloading & Pump-Action Rifles, Remington's production numbers for the Model 6 totaled 36,236 which included three engraved models. The breakdown by caliber: '06/50.2%, 270/29%, 243/10.3%, 308/7.6%, 6mm/2.9%. Jerry-that 6mm you have is, indeed, one of just a tad over 1000.

So there are around 10,000 270s out there. They show up on GB but prices can be up there. I think with time and patience a Model Six 270 can be snagged

A 760/7600 rebarreled to 9.3x62, with the big box mag, 20 gauge 870 synthetic furniture, and good sights with QD rings and the SWFA Illuminati would be a hammer.

Marc I see '06's and an occasional 270 at gun shows now and then. They are out there but expect to pay 10-20% more than a garden variety 760/7600. Just need to be patient but persistent, I guess. Now that I know the 6mm is 'one-of-a-1000' I'll be paying a little more attention! Paul

My arm could be twisted on the right Six 06 I haven't hit the gun shows much for a few years, this will give me a reason to go to a few

W N - Thnx for the figures. JDK - I hardly ever see any M Sixes around here. Before Rem discontinued the 6s they were only $20.00 more than the 7600. I have known a lot of guys using 760s and 7600s but I don't know of anyone personally who has a M 6. Jerry

My arm could be twisted on the right Six 06 Now I only have one in 30-06, but had one yrs back. It had a 'horrible' trigger. I call them 6-OH6 too. Jerry

I don't want to give the impression that they are a dime a dozen but I see them 2-3 times a year. Most are 06s. Last one I saw was just after Thanksgiving had a Redfield 2x7 on it. The shop was asking $750 and it was gone last week.

I have a Model 6 .243 which is more accurate than my bolt guns. It has blue wear on the muzzle but other than a one inch pad looks almost new. Could you guys please give me a ballpark figure what it is worth? It was my father in laws last deer rifle when he was to old for the 30-06. My wife shot a 788 in . 308 and refused to switch. My boys only want 30-06 bolt guns because they were raised that way.
I want to sell it and split the money with them since there mother died four years ago and nobody wants to shoot it. whelennut It has a nice trigger.
