IIRC the .35 Rem 7600 was a Grice Wholesale run. See a few GB once in a while. Wanted one after they'd made the run (late to the party). Have decided to rebarrel a Ruger #1 instead. I'll settle on a .30-06 carbine 7600

Correct--Grice special run. They went fast!
Ruger #1 in 35Rem? Sweet.
No flies on a 30/06 carbine--little more bark, though.

I pay no attention to what Blackhead says. Couldn't be bothered.
He isn't a curmudgeon...he's just an [bleep].
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I shot the new 7600 270 this morning with 150 Partitions. It shot those right at an inch. I have a bunch of 270 stuff and I'm going to play with it awhile See through mounts are gone and it looks like this now:

50 yards, 80 yards of course they didn't hear the safety you retard. You never get close to the fuggers and that doesn't surprise me a bit. You don't fool me Bob. And the big bucks aren't saying all you'd like to think they do about your hunting prowess either. Of course you shoot some big deer. You've got the money to hunt where they get big. You don't pay/travel to hunt where the bucks run small. I've got a friend here with a very impressive trophy room. Like you, he's hunted all over the continent and the world. Come deer season HERE he doesn't produce anything that impressive and he knows it. I've made him look like a rank beginner here season after season and he knows that too. That's just silly Blackheart. You cast a pretty wide net with that statement. A good Hunter is a good Hunter, period. I've ran around and hunted the same country as you and taken many deer and still do. Saying because someone has money they can be less of a hunter is ridiculous. Bob takes bucks everywhere and hunts his butt off in the woods and spends the time being proficient with his equipment. This safety non sense is just that, non sense. Call it what you want. The fact is , folks don't travel all over the continent to hunt where the bucks run small. How many 140" plus, 200 + pound bucks do you suppose you'd take off State land in NY's Catskills as opposed to Alberta or Kansas for instance ? A good hunting ground will always make a hunter look better than a poor one. The friend I spoke of in the above post has hunted some of the best whitetail ground the continent has to offer and has taken several bucks in the 140-160" range. He has yet to kill a buck over 130" around here in a lifetime.

I have ano older 760 game master in 30-06
It has an old varixII leupold on it, and the trigger is "factory as much as I can tell...feels really consistent with my 870s.
It will shoot consistently under and inch with federal blue box 180 spite loads all day long

I wish I could find a pump around here, they just don't exist.
Might be time for Gunbroker. Scott next time you get to your wife's family take a drive to the hamburg cabelas. Usually a coupleasure racks of used pumps and lots of times you'll find really nice ones at fair prices. I got one there a few years ago with a leupy 2x7 for 350

Grice had a one time run of these in Bob too. I wish I'd have picked one up.

You'd sure think so by looking at his trophy room though. The point being it makes a big difference where you hunt. This is not the area to come to if you want to shoot big bucks. Western NY and the finger lakes region are alot better in that regard but still isn't a good trophy destination when viewed on a national scale.

2mg Old school! I got one but never put a scope on it. Well built guns, good shooters, and handle well. WN You mean this one? Haven't peeked in your safe in awhile, eh?

Had a a Rem. 760 for a number of years. Way too heavy and rattled like scrap metal. Trigger sucked and never grouped well. Too much disassembly to clean thoroughly. Bad stock and painful metal butt plate, so it kicked like a mule and left bruises even when held tight. Fine other than that.

I had an older 760, .30-06 and metal buttplate. 150 gr factory ammo was no big deal. Cuz runs one, says his thumps him. Go figure.

I much prefer the Carbines. My dad always swore by the 30-06 Carbine while he was still in his right mind. Once my mom died he went off the rails and has stayed there. Even sold his Carbine for drug money. I chose to remember him the way he used to be and those Carbines symbolize that for me.

I've thought about a pump in 243 with a 3x9 for a permanent truck gun. A few ten round magazines and some 80 grain pills would work well for woodchus to didndunuffins

Well, in a way, it's comforting to know I didn't leave it standing next to a tree in some swamp. However, it appears there's also a ML, an 870 RS, and a Rem 22 which have gone AWOL, too.
