Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

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

I even tried to get him drunk and talk him out of it..... He can drink a lot more than me.

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.

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.



That depends if you are in your RIGHT mind or LEFT.

Mine Left, IYKWIM ?

I've got two 760 Carbine's, .308 and 30-06, fine deer guns

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.

Here is the Remington page on them. No production numbers are given.

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

According 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.

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

When I bought my 06 I was looking for a 270 but everything just clicked on the 06, especially the price. 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

Thnx for the figures.

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

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.

Jerry--that's because you own every dang one for 300mi around!

For the true individualists, there is always the purveyor of custom self-shuckers - Nathan Chesney.

Call me a heretic but I like shiny ones

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.
