Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

I didn't realize that they were ever chambered in 284. That old gun be worth a bit to a collector.

Add another 760 fan to the mix. I got my 30-06 back in 2006 while stationed in Germany. I killed a roe deer, pigs, and a fox with it. I gave it to my dad when I returned and he added a pad and a trigger job. It shoots very well and the kick doesn't seems as bad now.

Thanks, Dinny

I've posted this elsewhere, but since it is a pump.... Just got this 141 this week, along with the model 81 (in .32 Rem). Hope to get them both in the woods come fall.

I have a nephew that has a Rem pump in 270. He is deadly with it and I sure don't want him shooting at me with it. He regularly takes mulies, pronghorns and elk back in my native CO.

This is my first year production Remington 760 pump in 30-06, manufactured March of 1952.

Not a great picture, lousy day here and just not quite dark enough for the flash to go off.

I had a Bushnell scope on it and wasn't really happy with it, and I ran across an old school El Paso Weaver V4.5 from the 70's and mounted it in old school weaver rings. No Weaver pivot rings for this gun as the rear sight is missing, that's how I got it
Bore sighted the gun and brought the barrel down to bare steel with JB Bore Paste so it's ready for Dyna Bore .

Now if our communist governor would open up the ranges I could sight it in and work up a load for it. Gun is pretty clean and in excellent condition for it's age, schit, it's only 6 months younger than I am.

I've added a couple trombones in the past year. First was a left hand 760 BDL .30-06 complete with see thru mounts, and then a Savage 170C .30-30 followed me home from Cabelas for cheap. Since I already own several .30-06s and .30-30s, one or both may get sent to JES for a larger diameter bore

My first center fire rifle was a 7600 in the ever able 30/06. It was bought after mowing lawns most of the summer of 1983. We had a family friend that did sporting goods sales and he enjoyed helping folks out with the best price he could give. Mine , I think, was sold to me for the price that it cost him. If memory serves me right it was $265. I didn't have money for a scope that year but things worked out just fine anyhow because I killed a spike buck the very first day I hunted with it.
That rifle was stolen from me several years later when I loaned to a friend. As hard as it is for me to believe, that was over 20 years ago. About four or five years ago I finally decided to replace it. But instead of the 30/06 I chose one of its of its offspring the 35 Whelen. I've only hunted it a very few times but the first hunt in the Fall of 2018 I killed a spike buck. It brought back memories of that first 7600 and the kid that hunted it back then. I never intend to be without one again.
I can see me and the 35 Whelen becoming very good friends. I would like to find either a 243 or 308 and have it re-bored to one of the best cartridges to ever wear the Winchester name, the 358 Win. I came close once when I bought one of Grice's limited run in 35 Remington. It was the carbine version with an 18.5" Barrel. I kept about a year without firing it and sold it at a gun show for what I had given for it. Someday, if the world doesn't all die from the Covid 19 virus, I'd love to run down a 760 in 35 Remington and maybe keep it that grand old cartridge. No need for a 760 in 35 Rem and another in 358 but I guess "need" has little to do with it...

Posted pics of a couple of my Remington 14R & 141R carbines in the Image Gallery if someone would like to take a look at them and maybe move them over to this thread.

May have posted this before; it's been awhile. 7600 in .30-06 with a Zeiss 4x on top. Look closely and you'll see the impressed checkering has been re-cut; a really nice upgrade.

Very nice upgrade.

I like 760s and have had few .I look at them often on gb .I want to get a basket weave one I like the looks of them.

A fine specimen. And what looks like the nicest mag of that style in a long time.

I like the raised cheekpiece on the 760 BDLs with the basket weave "checkering", but the forearms have a flat bottom, almost beavertail style, forearm that feels realy bulky in my left hand.

Speaking of the 257 Roberts, a buddy texted me this morning that the Scheel's store in Omaha has a 90%+ Remington 760 in their used guns rack priced at $400. He reports that it is original, except that the rear sight was replaced with a correct period Marble's unit, no extra holes or recoil pad. He reports that there is some light, very light, freckling on the top of the receiver and that the plug screws look untouched, so probably there from carrying it with a sweaty hand. It is the standard, ADL, style with plain wood and a grooved forearm. He didn't look at the bore, but said that the SN is 2141xx and the assembly code is either PA or AP, He said that he hadn't seen as nice a 760 in 257 Roberts for a decade or more and would have bought it if he hadn't just paid for college for 3 of his 6 kids.

Man, that would have been a quick buy if I saw it!

Add me to the list of 760/7600 fans. I approached mine from a different direction, a handy ranch/mountain rifle for here in New Mexico. As I'm a southpaw with lots of trigger time on pump shotguns, a pump rifle was a natural solution to my need for a rifle with more reach than my AR carbine. Flatter trajectory made .270 a natural choice. With minor Dremel/file modifications to the stock, the 7600 will accept a Magpul shotgun stock. I mainly mounted that stock for the grip angle and adjustable LOP; I like pistol grips but the SGA snags less. Optic is a VX-Freedom AR 1.5-4x.

I tend to carry this rifle when out prospecting. It hasn't gone hunting yet; it'll come along next time I'm helping a rancher friend call coyotes.


Out on BLM land in northern NM.


Matching most other experiences here, mine is a shooter. This 3-shot group was at 275 yards with 130-grain Federal Power-Shok. This rifle HATES 150-grain Power-Points; the result is fist-sized patterns at 100 yards. 130-grain Power-Points did better; it may be a matter of slow barrel twist.

Mine is the only one of its kind most of my buddies out here have seen. A friend from Missouri believes his dad had one, and I may have seen one or two at gun shows when I lived there. It's been well-received, and I used it in a bit of "outlaw 3-gun"-type fun out in the desert with excellent results. The darned thing just hits what I aim at.

Cool rig. They’re handy as heck!

Good shooter too

You are certainly right about a natural solution. I've posted this pix much earlier in this thread but didn't take the time
to find it.

I like the Rem Model Six: 06, 270 (2), & 6mm Rem.

Nice rig. I suggest slathering your rifle with Eezox for rust resistance. In my experience Remington's matte finish seems to rust easily.
