Nice rig. I suggest slathering your rifle with Eezox for rust resistance. I my experience Remington's matte finish seems to rust easily. Thanks for the suggestion, I just ordered a bottle. I've been using Breakfree CLP and the results on this particular finish haven't been great. The date code on my 7600 is May of either 2004 or 2007 depending on which reference site I use, which puts it before the serious dip in quality that came with the Freedom Group acquisition.

I used CLP for years until I tried Eezox. Eezox is MUCH better in every way that I can think of. Even smells nicer! John

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.
That is a very nice collection! To my understanding, a 6mm Model Six is a very rare breed indeed! I can't bring myself to let a rifle with beautiful bluing get banged up in the field, so my matte/synthetics get the most use by far. I've been exceptionally happy with .270 thus far. It's the only full-power rifle I own; my others are 5.56 and .30-30.

Thank You. Yes the Model in Six in 6mm is one of only +/- 1000 made. Whelen Nut here from Wis (SKane's Dad) looked up the #s . The second from bottom is my FIRST M Six and has been hunted many years. Remington's RKW finish is very protective. That rifle belongs to my Son after I inherited my Dad's.... both 270s. The top one is 6mm Rem and it went to work as soon as I bought it....during Deer Season. They hold up very well. ATST I have several B A in SS or Blue IN Synthetic. Don't be afraid to hunt the Hard Finished 7600s or Sixes. Thanks Again Jerry

Maybe not, I think so. There is a 20 gauge shotgun butt stock WILL fit the 760/7600. I don't claim to be any expert. Jerryhad EDIT -- > it's 7;07 AM, Monday, I remembered 'some OLDER' 760s had a tube 'thru' the fore end handle. It depends on how OLD your 760 is. Sorry - FMD = Fading Memory Disorder

Wondering if a new tube/actionbar could convert my old 760 to 7600 forend 'OLD' is the operative word. The really older 760s had the action tube extending above the end of the fore end. I don't have a pic, but I remember what they looked like. He's asking IF or HOW to get a 7600 fore end to fit his OLD 760. Thanks for asking Zone. Jerry

Yea. Some of the later 70's and early 80's ones did. However, I don't know if they're the same fore end as the 7600's when they switched over.

Stated earlier that I have a 7600 carbine that I will be using this year. That rifle will be gone as soon as I can find an affordable, decent 35 Remington.

I was figuring far less recoil and the 35 will do anything I want out of a pump rifle. But I am always open to suggestions.

First, I'm glad your feelings are not hurt. That was NOT my intention.
I didn't go back to see IF you said what 'caliber' your carbine is. I also don't recall WHICH lever 35 you're looking for.
On the subject of 'range', I've killed deer at 12' (feet) with a 700 BDL 7 RM, so that's moot to me.
AS you know, $$$ of ALL rifles have gone thru the roof. As with anything else, anything is worth what 'someone' will pay.
My Model Six in 06 is lighter than the 6mm or 270s.....SO I'd expect your carbine in 06 or 308 will NOT be heavy.
On the subject of levers... 94 or 336........... 336 is the only 1 I'd consider and it is HEAVY. I prefer light but IMO the 'older' 336s are much better made.
So you see, there are several factors FOR ME on the subject, not just one.
ATST I've stated repeatedly that "As Long As Anyone Is Happy With Their Rifle...That's All That Matters".
I hope I've answered your ? and I appreciate your attitude about my statement.
Good Luck, whatever decision you make.
Jerry
