Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

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.

Well I got to the bottom of this PIC thing.!! I'll be looking FOR another server.

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.

Pump, I mean bump.

Hopefully some of the pics can be reloaded again.

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.

My model 6 in 270 Winchester shot 1 /2 inches. I never had a problem and love the rifle.....

More proof you're an idiot.

That may be. But if you were intelligent, you would build up a case, discussing your points.

I can say you are a double idiot. So, I am the winner, in your world.

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.

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.

180 grain. Winchester PP. They shoot under an inch and are cheap

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.

Replace the trigger springs with a set designed for the 870. http://www.brownells.com/shotgun-pa...gs/sear-spring-light-pull-prod10669.aspx

150 pmp soft points or 150 federal round nose out of my 6.8x64mm
