thats what i call the "disco version". that exact config was really popular here in PA in the 70's. basket weave monte carlo stock, stepped receiver, see-thru's and an '06 to boot. that'd go good with bell bottoms and big sideburns. i wanted one like crazy and ended up getting an older model 270 that i still have. and ya, it still has the see-thru's.

The basket-weave "checkering" is my favorite style of 760.

Dang that BDL is cool as all get out. Unfortunately I was informed today how much I gotta pay for kids college. So no new guns until I put that back in the bank.
Cuz shot his 760 in .35 rem today. Is not mint but not bad either. See through rings, Leupold 2-7X (VX1) would not dial in.
Gave him some Burriz Zee rings (signature) to try. Think it'll be low enough the rear sight will need knocked out.

To start.... She's got a WGRS on it now. Really love shooting this thing and will probably take it hunting this year but I got two No.1's and a Alaskan serenading me as well... (I'll be hunting it with the open sights)

760 has an unwarranted reputation for not being accurate. I got mine to 1", others could probably do better. I have noticed this gun heats up fast. You have to wait between shots, if you really want to check the load. Also gets dirty quick, low 20s and opening up, and first few off. So I see how it got a bad rep.
Replacing the oring, which is a bit of PIA, will get rid of the rattle.

Bobby 'Twas just in need of a little lubrication of the "O" ring in the slide. Common situation with old 760's and an easy fix. I'll keep my eyes open for a .308 carbine for ya. Lots of gun shows coming up. How about a 35Rem? They are the schitze in a carbine. Easy on your shoulder but devastating on a deer's shoulder. Paul While I think it is probably a good idea to lube the oring. What was probably the original in mine was in pieces. Gently torch the red locktite. I also drilled the holes on mine out to 1/4", for a bigger punch to break it free. This did require a bit of filng to get rid of the burrs, to smooth it out. After 200 rounds, it loosened up a bit but not rattling. I should have been lubing it hard when doing lots of shooting. I was thinking of cutting it down to 18". Comparing POI and fps, before and after. But I just bought a 45-70 in 18.5 I suspect mine came from PA, bought it in IN, after steel mill in PA closed. Many of the guys came to work at the mill there. Lots of complaints on trigger. Mine was 4.5, and I didn't notice any creep. Maybe it was modified. I put a timney in, lowered it to 2.5. Nice. But probably not worth the money. But I had some extra

Who has a deer ear hanging on their's
I retired mine for awhile, after racking it softly, caused a jam when looking at a doe, Was able to load a new one a few minutes later, and still got it. Thought about selling it. But I am not into selling stuff. Plus I just kept shouldering, like that stock. So took it out of retirement last fall. It liked partions. Funny my 700, same twist, and length, shoots interlocks. They both like same load. But neither will shoot the other's bullet.

Is there a trick to getting the factory trigger below 12lbs without replacing it? I have 'a few' 760/7600's. All are right between 4 to 4.25# as they originally came from the factory. Most gunsmiths can get them down to 3# or tad less with little difficulty. There are aftermarket triggers available, if need be. However, I have never felt a need for either option. I bought mine used, at 4.5. Wondered if it had been lightened. Seemed light for the 80s. Thats what sucks with used guns, you are alwasy guessing.

So what are you guys planning to shoot out of your pumps this season? I've got some 180 grain Hornady Round Nose loaded up for my 7600 30-06 Carbine. They just seem like the classic load for this gun.

Going out today to shoot my 6mm 760. It'll be my Campfire pig gun early next year. Looks like I'll be using Federal 100 grain soft points. Bob
