Nothing wrong with one of those! The old timers didn't car how sexy their rifle was, they just wanted it to work well and have a quick followup shot if needed. That's why these pumps became classic deer rifles.

Anyone using a pump out west for long(er) shots at mule deer? Have a 7600 30/06 waiting for a scope to be mounted.

JDK I'll bet the lesser bucks in the area feel safer now. That's a hog anywhere. Tell him we are impressed! Be Well, RZ.

It was a big doe but not as big as it looks. He lives in the Belgrades. I live 4 hours north.

Thinking bout putting a 1-4X on my 760 in 35 rem after season. Move the 4x on it to a .22rf
Really like a 1 or 1.5X for movers in the sticks.

A 7600 carbine with the engraved receiver showed up at a local shop chambered in 30-06. How obnoxious is the blast from the carbine in 30-06?
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

It never bothered me. That's all my dad ever hunted with after I turned 12 and he gave me his 760 rifle. But I do know the Carbines turn grown men into whimpering babies. At least that's what I read online.

Really like a 1 or 1.5X for movers in the sticks. I'm with you on the 1X-1.5X for a 760/7600 in thick areas. I'm in the Northeast, where it's a lot of thick cover. I bought my 760 in 1979, and shortly afterward scoped it with a Leupold Vari X III 1.5X5 with the 20MM objective lens. I have shot a bunch of whitetails with that combo, and to this day I have never moved the power setting from 1.5. Never had a problem in low light situations with the 20MM Objective lens either. On my 2 favorite slug guns, I have mounted Bushnell Banners 1.5X4.5, and again, I have never moved them off the 1.5 power setting.

The blast doesn't seem that bad from my 760 carbine in 30-06 more like a very loud boom, instead of a crack, but again, I'm half deaf from shooting 06's and 12 gauges since I was a kid without any hearing protection. One thing that will stand out to you is that if you are shooting a deer in fading light at dusk with a 30-06 Carbine, you will think you are using a flame thrower, LOL.

It’s a slick little rifle. I’m trying to decide if I should part with one of my Marlin 30-30’s for it.

I have a carbine and it is definitely a loud flame thrower
As far as the trade goes that is up to you. I know that I would not trade any of my Marlins for a late model 7600
