" 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". [/quote]

I recently sold 6 Remington 760 rifles in 30-06, like the one that RGK posted a picture of, that I paid about $2,600 for to a dealer in ME for $5,200. I just wanted to double my money and he said that he could sell them for at least $1K each. After he received them, he called and said that he would buy any more that I could find in 270, 308, or 30-06 for the same $867 price.
Since nobody knows what will happen with Remington, it appears that some people who want Remington pump guns are willing to over-pay for them to insure that they have one if the new/current Remington owners doesn't make them again.
Been following this thread off and on for years. Finally have a pump rifle and deer picture to show. 7600 carbine in 30-06 . 3.5-10 leupold and 150 gr Nosler Partition handloads. Little public land spike but he eats well. 😁
I don’t understand that site. Check local gun shops. More realistic.
True, but rifles in the 760 series are more common in some geographic parts of the U.S. than others. Whereas they were as common as dirt in northern New England when I lived there, in the 30+ years that I've lived in KS and NE I doubt that I've seen more than 200 different ones in gun shops and maybe another200 or so at modest sized gun shows. Remington 740/742 series rifles seem to be much more common here than their manually operated kin.

Congrats - How do you like the 7600 ? Obviously - it works - grin

I love the 7600. Growing up one of my uncles used a 760 carbine so i finally decided to pick one up. Luckily just before prices went crazy on them. And it would take quite a few trout at least the size i usually catch
that looks like a mid-60's gun. i have one like it in '06. from the varnish on the side of butt plate, it looks to be original finish too. looks like aftermarket uncle mikes sling swivels. the carbines are handy guns for sure.
I have seen a few like yours but not many. I was wondering when they were from. There is one in a LGS that is in really nice condition, though I can't recall the price.
Did not realize they made the 760 with that checker pattern on the forearm/pistol grip.
I have the same checker pattern on one of my 760's. Date code puts my gun at 1965.
Mine has the pump tube that isn't threaded at the end to accept the Uncle Mikes swivel stud that yours has, mine requires the barrel band stud. I believe they changed to the pump tube style you have in 1968.
Mine also has the buck on the grip cap.

I wish I had a barrel band and not the stud on the end of the forearm.
I agree with you fully.
I have a 760 1971 vintage in 270 that has the stud in the forearm tube, I can't stand it. It's the Deluxe BDL version with basket weave checkering.
Unfortunately Remington is shut down now so you can't get the original replacement screw from them.
Barrel bands are still available, but as far as the original screw I guess you's have to put an add here, or look on Gunbroker. I checked Numrich(Gun Parts Corp.), they don't have it.
