My first big game rifle came to me when I was 12. It was an old 760 in 300 Savage that belong to an uncle that died. The gun survived an avalanche and was dug out of the debris. I traded it for a new model 600. Will not forgive my father for not stopping me.

I think that I should have held on to my .257 Roberts 760 a while longer and sold it to one of you guys.
My other auto is a .45

Dam it, you boys are a bad influence. I wasn't even looking for another carbine. Dam thing better shoot. How'd I do?

For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Dam it, you boys are a bad influence. I wasn't even looking for another carbine. Dam thing better shoot. How'd I do?Great price, gun looks to be in excellent condition. Is "Carbine" stamped on the barrel or is it a cut down 22 inch barrel? Either way you did good, and if the barrel is marked "Carbine", despite the 30-06 being the most common carbine produced, you stole it !!!! I'd dump the see thru mounts and get an old Weaver Pivot mount setup with low rings and a 1.5X4.5 or 5 scope, I think you'd like it a lot better. Weaver pivot mount base is # 193 for that gun, they show up occasionally on Fleabay and low pivot rings for that base are fairly common there also.

Killed a buck this year with a 7600 carbine (06) and 150 Fusions. Tucked one in the crease behind his shoulder and he went 30 yards. Blood trail was impressive, damage about what was to be expected.

I'd skip all that weaver tip off mount crap on the 7600. The stock isn't set up for it. I'd also pitch that bushlight scope and see throughs. Leupold base/ring combo and a VX3i 2.5-8x36 on there and you'll rule the woods.

Well I guess I don't need to worry about it. It was a pure scam. seller emailed me as soon as it ended saying he wanted to change the type of payment and gave a different address and phone # than what was on GB. A guy called me this morning saying he was Lauri with a real thick Asian accent. I asked him to text me a copy of his DL for the FFL and got no response. I thought it was too good to be true. The seller's account has already been revoked but thought I'd warn you guys to be on the look out for that one.

I saw on gunbroker and some gun auction sites prices for 760/7600's are beyond crazy.
