jwall,
Fyi, a LARGE percentage of executors couldn't care less what caliber that a rifle is (I get most of my rifles that way or from garage sales.) AND anything but "naught six" is deemed "worthless" by a considerable percentage of hunters here.
I got my .222 & .280 REM Model 760 rifles "for peanuts" at garage sales, as "You can't hardly find shells for those weird things." (Fyi, even the pawnbroker that I bought my "as new" 760 in .244REM, said, "I don't know what you want that thing for. I can't find ammunition for it." = He sold it to me for 60 bucks, in 1966.)
Btw, my niece, TARA, borrowed the .244 until I got tired & told her to "Just keep it", about a decade ago. - She gets her deer with that "oddball caliber" more often than I do. = BORN HUNTRESS, is our Tara. (She calls it: "PURR-fectly GIRL-sized".)

Understood & Congrats to her.
OTOH, estate sales, & garage sellers, & ignorant retailers DON’T participate here.
So, I should have qualified my statement as pertaining to our participants.
Cheers

If you're in the market, there is a pretty nice looking 760 BDL in 30-06 priced at $429.95 for sale on the Williams Gun Sights site, www.williamsgunsight.comCan't believe that somebody hasn't scooped up this rifle yet! I did. See my post on the previous page It is still showing as being available on their site. They must be really slow about updating it.

IF someone has a 760 in 257 R that's for sale...... they need medication. Jerry Jerry, your reply is even funnier! It was meant to be. I didn’t intend to offend satx. Did you commit to keep or sell that 300 S ? Jerry

I didn’t think you were offended, I was telling W N that I only meant it in fun & didn’t intend it to be offensive.
* snowflakes *, SMH, I agree. Altho I’m not so sure ‘their’ offense MAY be a ploy as an EASY way to silence the TRUTH sayers !!
I’m 69 and grew up on John Wayne, Cassius Clay (ha), Chuck Norris.
I can take it AND GIVE it back.
Thnx. Have a Goodun

Jerry Someone wanted it more than me. It is now part of another collection. Paul OKAY, it's just as well. This From P 133, on 10-4-2018 Just FYI, if anyone is interested. I just posted my 760/300 Savage for sale in the classifieds. I am ignoring this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I WILL NOT read this ^^^^^^^^^ I refuse to consider this ^^^^^^^ Even tho I would really like to have a 760 in 300 Savage, it would NOT replace my FAV rifles that I hunt regularly. For the last several years I have ROTATED what I hunt. IN 2018 it was T3X Lite SS 7 RM IN 2017 it was Custom 98 in 284 Win IN 2016 it was Rem M 6 in 30-06 In 2015 it was Rem M 6 in 270 W EVERY year I have 1 or 2 sighted in and ammo ready as a BACK UP. One year recently I fell so hard that I BOUNCED and my T 3 270 hit the ground hard. I simply changed rifles. Later I checked the 270,--- it was OFF >> R about 1 1/2" STUFF happens. ATST the 760 in 300 Savage is a KOOOL rifle/round. Thanks Mr. Paul Jerry

J, if they have a web, Grices in Clearfield Pa. Usually has a ton of pump action rifles.. Of course most are 06 and 270. But some unusual stuff turns up there.. Haven't been there in a year or so... Check it out if you can..

WCH Yes I’m familiar with Grice’s. I know I have 1 Rifle that came thru them Somewhere in my F M D (fading memory disorder) there’s another rifle that I have OR had ?? from them. Now it’ll drive me crazy till I figure that one out. grin ATST I need another (any other) Rifle like I need a stroke !! Thanks for the suggestion. The 300 Savage is just a cartridge I’ve not had but I also don’t have a gap (niche) that it would fill. Thnx Jerry

jwall,
Inasmuch as the .300SAV is about the ballistic equal of the .308WCF & nearly as powerful in several loads as the standard 150 grain .30-06, I doubt that anyone who has any of the 3 chamberings of rifles truly NEEDS the other 2.
Nonetheless, WANTING to own (or possessing, as I do) all 3 for any lawful use is OK, too.

Picked up a high condition, true 141R carbine in 32 Rem and will probably carry it a couple days this fall.

The last deer I shot in WV was with a Rem 141 rifle in .35 Rem. With a peep sight .

Wish I'd have gotten one of them when I could.
