whelennut,
Load 85 TSX for deer and 87 V-Max for everything else. You'll flat kill things. Dead critters mean more than contemplating the "manliness" of bore diameter.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Could a 7600 in 7mm-08 be rechambered for a 284 win.? I realize this has no advantage over the 280 Rem. and there is always the issue of feeding. Just observing my dream mind.

You might have magazine issues with the .284 but I don't see why it couldn't be otherwise. It would be pretty sweet actually.
Camp is where you make it.

I have a box of 225 gr Barnes XFB for my 35 Whelen. I will use those up first. Those ought to really kill em dead.
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.

Being from New England reading about the Benoits, Berniers and Blood and meeting all of the, I have also had a soft spot for them. My friends Dad who hunted with when I was young not only swore by his Rem 760 but also was a huge fan of the 270 it was chambered for. I have had a couple and though they shot good just never felt comfortable carrying or shooting in the field. Two guys I hunt with in Maine also swear by them both in 30-06.
Looking at all posts and pixs though have me thinking about giving one another try

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. There is a 243 on GB right now that is over $1500. It's been listed before but brought no bids.

My main hunting buddy hunts with a pump 30-06 and if it is 300 or less standing or moving it is dead meat if he shoots. I would hate to try and guess how many deer he has shot with it.
