Had to resurrect this thread, one of the best ones on here. Just read through the whole thing. I've been looking for a pristine 760 in .35 Remington for a long time. Missed the one on here that Magmarc told me about because I was in Florida last year. Don't want to talk prematurely, BUT, my son has a line on one. It is in a shop, upstairs on a repair rack. Apparently had a minor repair done and has sat on the rack for 4 years or so. They finally contacted the owners and they don't want it, and we have first crack at it. That's all I know, hopefully will know more next week. If I am fortunate enough to get it, these Weaver Pivot rings and base are going on it. And the next thing I'll be searching for is an old school El Paso Weaver low power scope with Post and cross hair recticle. Not that I'll use the iron sights because they are blurry to me nowadays, but this pivot mount is the epitome of coolness as far as I am concerned. I will post when I learn more, hopefully this coming week.

My 760 in .243 is a genuine tack driver at long range. TR

Congrats Sherwood- I don't remember anyone talking about antelope hunting w/a pump rifle.
I've known for a long time they have the accuracy capable of longer range shooting. Well done.
Jerry
edit, PS: I have shot crows 100-200 yds on open timber company lands where it was safe.

R C -
I'm curious why it feels like it kicks so much.
Is it an older 760 with more drop at toe & heel? That increases FELT recoil>>altho actual recoil is NOT stronger.
No I haven't made or bought any carbine--not my cup o tea. The closest I've come to that was a Ruger 77 tanger Ultra Light in 308 W 20" bll. I liked the rifle fine for woods hunting.

The best thing I can recommend is finding a 'newER' butt stock. That excessive DROP is what's doing it.
I've "read" that some 870 butt stocks will interchange ?? don't know for sure.
Good Luck

Just figured I'd help Bobby out because I had this idea for a build a few years back and had it all spec'd out.

Marc - IMR 4064 works well in mid range loads too.

Just buy a PAST recoil shield for the bench. I've never felt the recoil of my 1976 760 aught six in the field.
