Most of my younger Wisconsin deer hunting was with a 760, and I do not miss that rattle trap rifle one bit.

I know that ‘some’ of the 760 - 7600s fore ends rattle BUT I have 4 mod Sixes and have had several earlier ones and know several guys that had them in the past.
I have never been around 1 that rattled.

Jerry I had a bit of rattle on mine, seemed to be caused by the forend screw not holding when torqued. I shimmed the inside of the forend with duct tape and the rattle went away.

I’m looking for a 760 or 7600 carbine in .30-06 or 308 if anyone knows where one is. I had one and sold it and now I want to get another and hold on to it. It is the perfect woods gun to me.

It would probably be less costly to buy a rifle and have the barrel cut to whatever length less than 22" works best for you.

This is the logical way to do it if you want a handy rifle rather than a handy rifle that's also a collectible.

That’s gonna cost ya. +1 on that. I have a line on a 760 Carbine in .308 but it's going to cost me dearly. I'll know for sure in a few days hopefully. I have a 760 Carbine in 30-06 that I purchased new in 1979, looking for it's twin in .308.

Sealed the deal on the .308 Carbine today but it will take a few days to get it as NICS is way backed up here with the gun buying frenzy that's going on. Paid dearly for it as it was the personal gun of a local gunshop owner and he knew what he had, but it was worth it to me. And frankly the ones I've seen sold on Gunbroker(if the sales actually went through) have sold for a good bit more than I paid. I'll get some pics up after I get it.

its funny what chopping 4 inches off a barrel does for a gun. i love the 760/7600 carbines. i sold all but 1 of my rifles and its the first one i ever bought and has a lot of sentimental value. they go for ridiculous money anymore, even the '06, which is pretty common. i always wanted to find one of the 760 carbines in 35 remington sitting neglected in a gunstore rack. but with gunbroker, those days are gone. last one i saw sell on there was around 5 grand.

That one is without a doubt the holy grail of 760 Carbines, the .35 Remingtom. I looked for one for years, still look. I did find one in the 22 inch rifle version(appears unfired) and now own it. In the quest of looking for a .35 Remington in the Carbine version I spoke to people at the Remington plant in Ilion NY years ago, and I was told that they only made a total of 454 of them in the Carbine version, so the odds don't look good of me ever finding one.

What a cool and timely thread, I bought a corn cob? forearm 760 in 30-06 from an old Gent buddy of mine in 1991, he has recently passed, iirc the rifle is a 1957 year model, I have never fired it, did load up some 165gr Speer hot-cors with the prescribed max charge [61gr] of IMR-4831 at 3.300 col, pulled the old rifle out of the big safe his morning, unscrewed the Weaver rings and put the 2-7 Redfield on the table, will go out when the rain quits and zero the factory barrel sights, then re-mount the old Redfield and zero it two inches high at 100 yards.
I never chronographed the load, I don't think it's going to matter for white tail deer this side of 200 yards, I love the old rifle, it doesn't seem to rattle too much, as said, any deer that hears that is on the way to dying.
Trump Won!

I’ll bet that old action is slick. You may be surprised how well that old girl will shoot.

Ha! You nailed it buddy! I don’t tend to shake the snot out of my rifles anyhow, so maybe I just don’t notice any extra rattling! I’ve got a 280 7600 and a 35 Whelen 7600.. Both of them are might good rifles, for Remingtons

Every time I open this thread my butt gets sore from kicking myself selling off a very nice 760 .257 Roberts. I won't even tell you how little I let it go for to avoid further embarrassment and ridicule.
My other auto is a .45
