A nice custom lightweight M98 33/40 in 35 Remington would be uber cool as well. <wink>

Those 141's are over built, all steel, heavier than the 14's and it seems to me that my .35 had a 24" inch barrel which seemed real long to me for a woods rifle. I had the barrel cut back and recrowned to 19" and put a peep sight and fiber optic front sight on it. With a .35 at least I could find factory ammunition. Not so for the .25, .30 and .32 Remington ammo and I consider myself lucky just to have found those cartridges for my collection. A friend has a retired .32 Remington 14 and an uncle has a retired .30 Remington 14 and they feel like a .22 LR verses my chunky 141. I had that 141 back when I wanted to be a Benoit wanna be and track um down. Wrong woods to do that in and I got a lot of deer killed by other guys up ahead with more patience than I had.

My first 760 was a 1978 or '79 model in 30-06 & is still my favorite deer rifle. These two pumps are my latest additions. The 141 is a .35 Rem. The older 760 is a 30-06. Since taking the pic I have cut down the barrel to carbine length & replaced the scope rings with an old set from Weaver. This gun was a real mess when I bought it, the finish was about gone and there was a major problem with the rifling in the last 2 inches of the barrel so I didn't mind cutting it down. Have not fired it yet but it should make a nice short range gun.
Yes, the 141 has a 24" barrel.

Good looking rifles, Jim.

Always had a thing for the Remington carbines. Have found 3 14R’s and a single 141R. Also, a first year 141 in 35 Remington.

Looks good Jim.

Dad decided to switch from the 180s he's been shooting since the early 90s to 150s. He's hoping for a little less recoil.

First group with the 150s was aceptable by my standards for a 200 yard deer Slayer.

I think it'll do alright for him. Just plain Remington corelokt

So much for those that think a 760 won't shoot, and with factory ammo. I'd be very happy with that gun.

Can't remember if I posted this before, but it's a good one...7600 .30-06 with a 4X Zeiss. Rem custom shop tuned the trigger and reversed the safety years ago. I also had the impressed checkering re-cut. Came out rather nice, for a pump gun.

top group is LC GI Match, bottom 165 gr Sierra GameKings

BRAIN FART Correction...35Rem to 358W rechamber job! Also have done the reboring job, which works just fine. But more expensive.

Typical boring accuracy from a 7600! *LOL*

I always thought the same thing. So I had a Remington 7600 in .358 made with a 20" Krieger barrel. Mounted a Leupold 1.5-5X and all is good.

Yep!

was reading some various articles on the history of the 141's, and saw this posted online...cool old ad:

I recently bought a used 7600 in '06 with the MC stock. Over the years I've owed quite a few 760/7600s with the straight comb and avoided the later ones with the MC as many have reported that that stock doesn't work well overall.

Much to my surprise, I've found the MC to work exactly as it should and aids in easier scope use but does impair open sight use. I kinda like it.

I like those stocks better because I use a scope almost all the time. Even if it's a 1-4 or something along those lines.

Well, I guess I have enuff country hick ( johnny reb ) in me to like MC (Monte Carlo) stocks. I always liked the LOOK of the Wby Mk V stocks and
never avoided the MC stocks. I have and have had plenty of them.

They DO work quite well.

This guy was chasing (running) a Doe straight toward me. I yelled, HEEEEY ! and he stopped 24 yds away and I dropped him.

I have killed multiple deer with each of these.

Has anybody here had JES do a 6/76/760/7600 243/308 rebore/rechamber to 338 Federal?

I traded a pair of Savage 340s for a 7600 in 243 back in 2017 that is just gathering dust and I was thinking that it might gather a little less dust if it was chambered in 338 FED.

I tried to call JES, but the voice mail box is full.

New to me older Remington 760 in 30-06. Gun had been sitting in the shop for months, with zero interest for $250. I went up to look at a 700 bolt action in 7mm Rem magnum, which I bought.

Anyways, I asked if the gun was still there and they replied yes. I told them I'd give them $200 for it, I wouldn't go $250 because the last one I bought from them was newer(1965 vintage) and had checkering and all and I paid $250 for that one. So they text the guy and he says he'll take $200, so cool, I bought it.

Went home and did some checking, with a barrel code of "ayy", the gun is a first year manufacture made in March of 1952.

The gun is in beautiful condition, no scratches in the wood and no bluing loss except for on the pump tube, which would be normal if it was pumped a few times. However, it certainly doesn't look like it was used or shot very much.

Rear sight was removed and it has a weaver scope base so probably had a scope mounted way back when, but in that condition, for $200, I'll take every one I run across.

Picture is just the way I got it, I didn't even wipe it down, pretty clean gun for its age !!!!

Great Snag.

I'd grab it too for $ 200. or so.
