I'd mention something about you getting another slide-action, deer swatter...but who am I to talk?! Says the pot to the kettle! Exactly!

I bumped this old thread UP for Ruger77Shooter who is looking for info on 7600s. This is P 1---- Lots of reading & Pix I decided to do most of my hunting this year with a 760 06. After a season of use and 2 deer with it I gotta say, I love the darned rifle. It shoots right around MOA with several loads, handles great, and it's easy to carry. Deer #1 Deer #2 How many fans of the pump rifles are here? Jerry

Thanks, Mr. Jerry! I appreciate it. Have my daddy's old 760 (30/06 of course) that he bought back in the 60's. If the 6mm I found was that old, I think I would probably buy it even though I have 2 of that caliber (77 tang safety and Rem. 788). Thanks again for the resurrection of the thread!

Buddy just got a 760 in .35 rem. Older version. I'm looking for the last 760 type (7600 wood). If no find, just rebarrel a Ruger #1. Gives me a excuse to hit some gunshows.

Thnx however it was easy for me to find it. I toggled my posts under Deer Hunting & Pump Rifles. Since I participated in the thread it was familiar to me.
You Are Welcome - I think it's a very good thread.

Hookeye, that later version of the 760 in 35Rem shows up at gun shows on occasion. I have found several over the years. Rechambered one of them to .358Win and cut the bbl back to 19" it is my favorite 760. Heck of a bear smacker with some 200gr TTSX.

Hey Guys, the man asked for help.... What was I supposed to do? Besides, this IS one of my favorite threads. So many of our REAL hunters participated plus our BUDDY BobinNH did also. There are a lot of GREAT pix to boot. I intend to re read the ENTIRE thread myself. Jerry

Ruger 77 Shooter - If you read far enuff you'll find MY jewels among the pumps. The bottom rifle does NOT have the Bell & Carlson stocks on it now. 2 are 270, 1 is 06, and 1 is 6mm Rem. Jerry

Ruger - I was thumbing thru this thread and found the #s on P 89 62726 -*-* 760/7600s were prodiced 6mm Rem *-*- 1 % = 627.1/25 .....very RARE Jerry

Well...I enjoyed reading this thread, and it got my blood up for a760! I have a few 14's & 141's, but never owned a 760 or 7600. Found this one and just couldn't resist it. 1952 760 in 300 Savage, love that wood! Congratulations on a nice rifle with REALLY nice wood, hclark. You really got a jewel there. I had been looking for an early M760 in either 300 Sav or 35 rem for quite a while. Stumbled across this one last year and jumped on it. The older 4X40 Tasco scope is remarkably clear and was still zeroed. The barrel was shiny and sharp and a patch soaked with Ed's Red I pushed through it looked exactly the same at the other end. The crown was perfect. I really wonder how much the thing has been shot! The barrel stamp is CYY, indicating an April, 1952 date of manufacture. The SN is 208XX. According to a moderator at the Remington Society Forum, April 1952 was probably the first month the M760 was chambered in 300 Savage. Being D&Ted for a scope might bum some guys out, but was perfect for me. I am not a collector and hunt with all my rifles. Since my eyes will no longer tolerate iron sights, the scope was welcome.

NOW LOOK HERE DANG IT !!!The 300 Savage is the ONE caliber (cart.) I've NEVER owned AND IT is the ONLY 1 I would like to have in a 760 OEM. Hook - - Sit On It! ! ! Jerry

This is BobinNH's 760 carbine in 280 Rem. I notice the left action (slide) bar has LITTLE wear on the blueing. If the right one is similar, that rifle hasn't been jacked a whole lot. *( Don't WTC photobucket did w/other pic-- I substituted ANOTHER! ) Bob asked me to post this pic for him- before he started posting pix I wonder who has this 280 Carbine now ?........just curious Jerry
