I fell into one Saturday myself. A not very used 760 in .35 Rem.
I was at the LGS picking up a scope and a guy was trading a 760 in on a Mossberg Patriot or some crap. I asked LGS counter guy what it was an he told me "look for myself," since he knows I'm a pump guy. He smiled and asked if he should put it away for me, but he knew the answer already.
I asked the owner why he was trading it and he said he's sick of not finding ammo for it and having to pay through the nose for it. Sounds good to me, I have a few boxes of Core Lokts for it.
I pick it up on Tuesday. Pics to follow.

Sweet Jesus, I can order 35 Rem ammo online for a little over $20 a box. It's everywhere now.

Now I just need to decided if I want to cut the barrel to 20" or not?

t rather than cut that barrel, I would look for one of the older Rem pump .35,s.. I saw several a Williams Gunshop in Mich.. They would not sell me one because I live in Wy.. Often they had scopes mounted that cut the collector value.. Just a thought.. Those were slick old rifles, not that yours is not...

Cool rifle ! I have a bunch of 200gr Hornady's loaded and some Core-lokts. Both good bullets. Have a work pard that uses the old 150 grain PSP with success.

I took a couple of deer with the 200 gr Hornady bullets. Shot great, worked great. See no reason to try anything else

I found Hornady 200 rn to hard in the 35 Rem, but their 180 single shot sp have worked great for me. Not sure they are around anymore ?
