Nice buck!

Nice. Congrats!

Thanks. He dressed 181#.
My back is shot, smoked an elbow tendon.
Was not looking fwd to the drag.

Buddy popped an 8 pointer, his died out in the field.
His Jeep still nice.

Mine's a POS, so I went to the sticker bush area, lots of saplings, and drove in, snaked around bigger trees and tied mine to the hitch (w head up).
Slowly drove him to the road, where we put him on my bud's hitch haul.

Worked great. Glad the ground was cold enough.

Ol lady giving me crap about not mounting him.
Never seen the deer before, no history.
Just knew something decent was hitting the upper corner.
Luck of the hunt.

Thinking euro mount.

Two gut piles, thinking yote hunt next two days.

I just got my first pump sighted in,this thing is crazy on the spot. Its a 7600 rem in 30-06. I like it a lot so far, hope to get to try it out next weekend after this week of muzel loader.

That's the most IMPORTANT history !

Yeah, the old .35 rem slammed the book shut.
Dropped him right where he stood,.
Not a twitch.

Magic frickin wand.

Swung by the LGS...........now trying to find a peep for a Remington 14.

hookeye, I just came into a model 14 chambered in .30 Remington. I was cruising around the internet looking at gun parts for model 14's and 141's and ebay had some peep sights for sale.
Also seeing as how this thread is all about pump guns I would like to ask if anyone here could help me out with advice or heads up on getting this thing up and running.
I will obviously need to reload for it, I can get brass somewhat decently priced online but dies and actual load data are an issue.
My plans are to hunt with this gun when I get it up and running, (hopefully next rifle season)
Thanks in advance

I have 2 pumps in the house.

I inherited my younger brother's Remington 760, an older one, in 30-06.

Then when Remington came out with their 7600 in 280 Remington, I absolutely had to have one of them! Worked up a load with the 139 Hornady SPBT. That rifle is ridiculously consistent with that load. Take to range before season, fire 3 shots, go look at 3 shots in an inch, right where they should be, go hunting.

In 1990 I took it on a hunting trip to Colorado and killed a nice 4 point.

I haven't used it in a long time, but it's a dandy rifle and caliber. One of these days I'll take my brother's '06 out and find a willing victim!

I had one in a .280 Rem. Killed a couple deer with it. It's my favorite caliber. Mine was a synthetic stock though and I just couldn't get used to it.

I just got a Weaver pivot base & rings from fleabay. Weaver base #193, for Remington Model 4, 6, 7400, and 7600.

While I have several #162 sets for Remintgton 742's, 760's, this is the first #193 base I have seen.

I really wasn't sure if Weaver ever made a pivot base for a 7600 as I lost my old pivot base charts from Weaver when my last computer crashed.

Anyways, glad to have found one, just in case I happen to run across a nice 7600.

I have a pivot mount base for the 7600/Six just in case I ever decide I need one.

I have and hunted with a 760 30.06 carbine for years, it is not my only hunting gun, but it gets used a lot !!!!

Good luck with those pivot bases. I've never trusted them as far as I could throw them. When I worked at the rifle range, next to $20.00 Tasco scopes, those pivot bases were the biggest culprit for lack of consistent groupings. Especially the older ones. I think the lock plates just didn't do a good job on them.
