My pump is a 308. I usually use round nose core lokts or 180 round nose hornadys. I was wondering how many of you guys use round nose bullets in your rifle? I load 180 grain Hornady RN in my 7600 30-06 Carbine. For me,the reason isn't expansion or feeding, I just think they look "right" in a pump gun. And they shoot plenty accurate too. Maybe I'll take it for a walk tomorrow.

180 gr corelockt round nose worked this morning. I use them for 3 reasons: I haven't got into handloading yet. They're what Larry Benoit used. And I once read in Jack O'Connor somewhere about experiments he did shooting through brush. he found blunter bullets were less effected by brush. His theory was that with more mass on the edge of the circumference than pointy bullets they are more stable (the same reason nails don't make good tops). They're also, very accurate out of my gun.
Hope I did the picture right!

Thanks. I rasped down the original which was the raised comb one. I wanted it to point like a shotgun and I've always liked straight grips. I got it so it fit me perfectly and my eye was right behind the peep super fast. But my eyes arent what they were when I was in my twenties so I scoped it. Not quite as fast and too heavy and doesnt carry as well in one hand but I like it.

Yeah, I bought it new in 1999 and I've carried it many many miles. The forend used to match the butt I had some vertical grip grooves whittled into it but broke it falling down some steep stuff.

Tell about the scope/scope mount. They're pretty far forward, looks like a pump action scout rifle. Also, what did you do to the safety? An oversize safety is a definite asset to a 760/7600/870, etc., etc.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

The mount is by Bullseye Pro and it's awesome. As sold it uses the front and rear scope mount holes and the front sight holes. I cut it back so I could still use the Williams peep. With the pistol scope it's light and fast, I actually like it better than the big scope in many ways. But, the big scope which is a Leupold VXR scout is awesome in the low light. And sometimes a little more magnification is nice. It's a deadly set up for sure. I really am a believer in the Scout scope. It is much faster on target, at least for me. The pistol scope has more eye relief and is even faster. But, I've been sitting a bit lately and the Leupold is so sweet for that.

And with Grandpa's rifle, doesn't get any better than that. Nothing like a Remington pump rifle as far as I am concerned, although I must admit I'm being a bit of a traitor to my pump rifles right now as I am upstate NY hunting with my 7400 Jam O Matic.

He says thank you guys.
He has his pick of any of our rifles to use but he wouldn’t hunt with another until he got a bucks with Grandpa’s rifle.
