I used red Loctite "stud & bearing" on my 7600's barrel band.

Whelen_Nut, jwall & Dave_in_WV,

I put a barrel band(Uncle Mikes) on my 760 30-06 carbine in 1980, used green Loctite and it has never moved.

The Uncle Mikes swivel set with barrel band from Midsouth is only $11 & change, I figure I'll order it for my 760 .35 Remington and see how it fits, I have nothing to lose for 11 dollars.

Thanks for the info appreciate it.

I think my issue is the 35 Whelen barrel diameter was too great for the UM unit to property tighten down. It simply slid further up the barrel to the point where a couple of my slings weren’t long enough.

Got one for my 870 killing gun, put the sear and light spring in it. The medium spring in a 1950s 760. Very crisp and light.

My problem is I lost the original mag and unsure how to make a modern one work in it.

It's a fast-ejecting single-shot at this point! But shoots MOA or tighter from bench

Mine is MOA now, but takes sooo much concentration with the creep. Pull weight is not that bad.

There is one on mine, but you’ll have to ask Whelenut how he got it on there. grin

The solid band in the standard U/M set for the 7600 is indeed too small for the .35 cal (Rem. or Whelen) barrels. A split band for a "magnum" contour works fine. Don't remember which set I used off the top of my head.

As I recall, on a 35R or W, the trick is to start tightening the screw on the band with the band closer to the muzzle until it catches, then slide it down and do the final tightening. It's been a while since I've done this on a 35. It's a PITA, but they do work on a 35 bbl.

Yup, I know...in 6.5 CM, too! Was hoping to have it for this year's Kansas hunt but it appears that isn't going to happen. The 270 will have to suffice again this year. Hope the deer won't be disappointed.

I'm thinkin' they would actually prefer a 270 over the latest fad.

SC, I just needed to have something different and had a .308 gathering dust so it's getting a make-over. I'm not usually one to jump on a band wagon but I have seen a 6.5 CM in action on Kansas deer and was impressed. I doubt Remington will ever offer it in their 7600 as a factory chambering so I thought I'd go for something different for a change. Old guys don't always have to be stuck in a rut with old tyme stuff... of which I have plenty. wink

I had a 7600 in 308 that was a safe queen so I asked Nathan at Hillbilly Rifles to turn it into a 6.5 Creedmoor. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and I have been playing with it. So far it likes the 120gr Barnes TTSX especially well (when seated deeper than recommended) with H4350 and holds MOA out to 400 yds. It wears a Leupold VX2 like all my other 7600's.

WOW ....... That's quite a change from the original form. Not sure if I dig that or not, but then who cares what I think! I'm just too used to the old blued and walnut look.

I got this one back this winter. 760 in 30-06 cut to 20" with a Wiliams FP. Shoots 1" with Hornady 180gr RN with the scope I used for load dev.
