whelennut - Man I really don't know what it 'should' bring. It's been a long time since I've seen one of any cal (cartridge) for sale. 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 don't know anything about that gun's condition or the Redfield 2-7 but that might give you an idea. ? ? Jerry

I hardly ever see any M Sixes around here. Jerry
Jerry--that's because you own every dang one for 300mi around! Thnx for the chuckle. I inherited one of the 270s from my Dad who died in 1998, so I didn't buy them all. Jerry

There is a guy that brings one of those "shuckers" to our Wisconsin deer camp every year. I guess you could call him a fan of pump rifles and has won the money in the pot for best deer a few times.

For the guys who were interested in the pump .25-06, I have seen a couple used one's in Grices in Clearfield, Pa. Not many but they show up there now and then..

MagMarc - It's not that I prefer 'shiny' but I DO like the HARD finish. It doesn't mar as easily. The following close ups are of the FIRST one in the pic above, it is 6mm Rem. I looked FAR & WIDE for this one. As you can tell is has use wear. It's a working rifle. I've killed WT, crows, and coyotes with it. I have a pic of the right side of the butt stock but for SOME reason it will not post up. I'm not a professional photographer and this is the best I can do. Jerry

Thanks for the close ups Jerry, that is a darn nice rifle! There isn't anything with your camera skills either Get the new year year here and taxes out of the way and my search will begin.

I always liked that 'classy' case-head adornment on those old Rems.
Jerry--I think you might be limited to five pics per post. I ran into that one time.

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.

A 5
Yes the pump rifles were such a natural transition from the Rem 870. A good shotgunner doesn't waste time pumping the action. By the same token a man familiar with a pump rifle can REchamber a round BEFORE the noise of the shot is gone.
I had gotten away from DEER hunting with the Sixes for a few years using different bolt rifles. This year I decided to break out my 6-270. It was so natural.

Okay, I don't know that I've run into that before but I don't remember trying to post a series of pics like this. Thanks One thing I've known for a long time is that the 760-7600-6s can be just as accurate and in some cases MORE accurate than some bolt rifles. I've enjoyed the pics of you, your deer, and rifle. Keep it up. Jerry

The trigger doesn't seem to hinder the guys posting up the pics. 😳
Having had several 760/6, never owned a 7600, I only HAD 1 that had a really bad trigger. I don't remember now where/why but I turned it into a different rifle. All the rest of the pumps I've had, had reasonable triggers. Also in this thread someone mentioned the fore end rattling. I've been around 1 that someone else had that rattled but none of mine do or have. I've been told there is a rubber O ring that can be replaced but so far haven't needed one. Jerry

A 270 deer. Most likely died from embarrassment being shot with a pump and a 270.
