Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles REM 7600 35 Whelen

Nah. The only profession with more halfasses hanging a shingle might be real estate. I’d rather send it out to a known commodity.

Anyway, nice shooting, Fotis!

Perhaps the name was Timney.

Timney sells a kit to improve 870/7400/7600 triggers.

I've owned 3 over the years. All were good shooters.

Mine shoots well enough (11/2”) with 225 Sierra Game Kings at 2725fps. It’s a real deer hammer. It did take a while to appreciate that pressure on the forearm impacted accuracy....

There s a guy in PA who specializes in Remington.pumps

I'm shocked......

I may have to put away the .35 rem carbine this year and let its big brother out to play.

George

The guy behind the bang switch knows what he's doing to I reckon

Yep. And the couple in 35 Whelen that I've owned were a hammer ON me too.

Rem 7600 35 Whelen with a bull I shot years ago. 250 GR Speer

Great picture.

It's too bad Remington could never figure out how to put a recoil pad on a walnut stocked 760 or 7600.

Bahahahahaa

Mine has the plastic butt plate so I use the PAST recoil shield for any range work. I’m not sure I’d wanna go toe to toe with it on the range without it.

I load 225’s around 2675 and can’t find the need to ask for more. Ha!

what is your load?

My Whelen is a rebored pre'64 M/70, for years 225gr. Sierra Game Kings were my go to whitetail load. Years of late I have gone to 200gr. Hornady Inter-lok RN over IMR 3031, accuracy is outstanding and performance on game is too. 100 yd. 3 shot groups are often cloverleafs, heading to the range this morning prior to leaving for KY deer hunt next week.

I have been looking for a decent Rem 7600 in .308 or .35 Whelen the last few years. I have seen an old beat up one in .30-06 that is more than a new one ever was, and then saw a decent one in 35 Rem this weekend at a gun show. Outside of that, those rifles just don't seem that popular here in SC AK.

35 Rem would be sweet!

Looking at a couple older threads, Nathan Chesney and Gary Sullivan came up as two that folks had sent the trigger group off to for work and were very pleased.


I wonder if a Burris Speed Bead would fit on a 7600/760 with a Fast Fire?

I once bought a real nice 2nd gen 760 35 Rem in VG original condition. I was going to have it re-chambered to 358Win but couldn't bring myself to ruin such a nice old rifle, so I sold it off.

Down the road, I wished I'd kept it and enjoyed it as is.

In Oregon about 78 a local Bend Or Smith showed me his Elk Rifle a Rem 760 in 35 Whelen that he converted to 35 Whelen from a 35 Remington! Said guys from Remington had looked at it. So I had to have one, converted one from 35 Remington but Anchorge smith did not get head space right.

A lot of those converted 760,s do not have correct headspace, and not much you can do about it after the fact.

Ended up buying one in 7600 in 35 Whelen. Thanks Mel (Ol Blue)!

I found best accuracy with IMR 4064 at 60 grains. Cases fall out of the chamber and primers show no flattening. I have no need for more velocity. If I need more power, I step up to a 340wby.
