I have Savage 170s in both 30-30 and 35. I am planning to send one of the 30-30s to JES to rebore/rechamber to 444.

Really enjoyed this thread.. When we visit Pa. later in the winter, I will have to check out the pumps.. Seldom see them here.. Never owned a single pump action rifle in my life.. And pump actions shotguns are my favorite.. Keep those pics. coming it is a fun thread. I would bet 50% of Remington's 760 or 7600 production are in the state of Pa. The Remington 760 should be on the Pa state flag.. Doc That's funny. However, my dad is from PA and he's never owned a 760....
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

when i was a kid in the 70's i lived near a old coal mine slag dump and it had a neighborhood shooting range in it. in the weeks preceding deer season it saw a lot of use and i would hang out there watching and shooting. i remember the row of guns lined up and 90% were 760's. most had that squared off basket weave forend that came out in early 70's, see through mounts, big gawdy leather slings with colored deer graphics, tv screen redfield scopes, the whole nine yards. the mills were booming then and everybody had money. almost all were '06 with a few 270's and the odd 308. i always wanted a 760 270 but couldn't afford it. fast forward to 1982 and i'm home on leave from the AF and having a few brews with my dad and his buddy george and i commented how i i wanted a pump 270. george said he had an old one he bought in 1960 and would sell it to me. few weeks later i get a call from my dad and he asks if i still want that 270. $130 which is what george paid for it in 1960. pristine condition, never even had a scope mounted. i came home on leave for deer season and put a scope and see-throughs on it and dropped a buck at daylight on the first day. still have that gun and it has accounted for many, many deer. it will shoot quarter sized groups at 100 yards all day.

I haven't shot the 35 much, but it shoots OK with Remington 200 grain RNCL factory ammo. I've owned several 30-30s and they all shoot about like any 30-30 that isn't a Marlin 336 or a Remington 788. I got screwed on a Gunbroker deal last year, the rifle was totally misrepresented, and the bore is pretty badly pitted, so it may go to JES for a rebore. I've owned Marlins and Savages in 375 Win and am not a huge fan, but I figured a 444 Marlin pump gun might be interested. The Savage 170s were never expensive rifles and aren't, IMO, in the same quality level as the Remington 14/141 or 760/7600 series.

Have the same rifle & have taken 5 Black Bears & over 100 hogs with mine. A great caliber & rifle for fast follow up shots. Have never needed very many. I have a Leupold fixed 6 power scope & this combination has always worked for me. Never hunted deer with mine, but would obviously smash any hooved critter in NA.

I have a 7600 in 35 Whelen like kk Alaska's but I've never taken it out to hunt with because it rattles. Not sure if that is something I can address or not. I've heard there is an o-ring that can be replaced but the slide rails also have play in them. They pivot a little. Is that normal for these rifles?

If you don't want to hunt with it, PM a price you need to ship it my way. I haven't decided to turn loose of it just yet. At some point, I'll likely disassemble it and see what I can do with it. I should probably handle a new one at a gun shop just for a point of reference. I bought this one used and it's the only one I've handled.

GL--first thing to check, make sure the screw at the front of the forearm is tight. The "0" ring is easily replaced. Take the old one out and go to a hardware store--plumbing dept and get a new one. I've hunted with many Remington pumps all my life. Only had one that developed a rattle and it just needed to have the forearm screw tightened.

I have heard that complaint about noise but I carry it with forward tension on forearm.
Plus my second shot with a pump either a rifle or shotgun, is usually accurate, the forward throw of the action helps me with my stance on fast shots.

I checked the screw and it was tight. That is one big slotted screw. Had to be careful because I don't have any hollow ground drivers that big.
