Vintage lever guns are more better..... So are wooden spoked wheels more better than the radials on my truck.

I swore off 760/7600s and sold the two I had last year. Then my son picked up a 760 in 35 Remington which was made in 1954. I have to admit it made me start looking again, as does this thread.

So does anyone have a 2018 model? If so, can you post a pic?

Question: If you wanted a quick handling pump gun for thick brush with a peep, would you get the carbine or a 22” barrel and have it chopped to 20”?
Pros/cons?

I’d chop it. But that’s me. The carbine is a bit short for my taste.

I'd think the carbine would hold its value better.
If that matters to you.

I would get the 22" rifle, mount a peep, and try it before cutting the barrel.

LOL, too many choices! Thanks so far!
I’m still looking for someone who bought one this year, BTW. I’m going to have to order one without seeing it. Supposedly, Rem went back to the low comb stock a couple years ago, but I haven’t seen one or gotten a report as to quality and finish. The pic on the Rem site makes it look like the finish on the receiver and barrel do not match. Someone tried to tell me it’s true, but I haven’t confirmed it yet. Haven’t confirmed the low comb stock either. Every place I call doesn’t have one in stock, only older models.

I was told that only the carbines will have (do have) a low comb.

Just ordered me one of them there 7600 Carbines for $687.30 shipped. I purchased a Williams peep about three years ago so this plan has been in the works for a while. I also ordered hex head screw plugs for the forward receiver holes; got those from Brownells.

Since late 2016 or so, Rem started making them with a low comb stock again. This will be a peep gun for MI, MN and WI still-hunting and tracking. I already have a scoped 750 and numerous bolt guns.

Sturdier construction and allows click adjustment. Just sayin'. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/fMqUCji.jpg)

But my LGS guy and I are both 760/7600 fans and he has seen one. He said not only was the quality nice, but the price was too. IIRC, he said it was under $700 for a walnut stock 30-06 he ordered for a lady.
