I recently acquired this 30-30 fairly priced from a forum member. I am loading the 150 gr TSX over Leverevolution for an upcoming hog hunt. I am awaiting an extended piccatiny rail and have an older Weaver CV-9 for it. Short of some dings on the stock and missing the front sight it is in pretty fine condition. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/1Sgb2BR.jpg) A fine old Savage 170. Real nice !!!!! It was good for inch and a half three shot groups today with the 150 gr TSX over LEVERrevolution powder. I damaged the Weaver due to my chit installation so a 3-9X Burris Droptine was swapped. Fun little rifle.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Mb Magnum_Bob's new(to him) Remington 760 pump in 30-06. Date code puts it at January 1967 production. Looks to be in very good condition and I'm sure will clean up nicely. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/sPpk6PQ/bm2.jpg)

T I think so too. Smooth quiet, not rattlely. Think I'll run some 150's in it and find out how close the factory irons are. Mb

Anybody shot the corelokt 220s through a 7600? I think I'm gonna give those a try this fall in the deer woods. Something different to play with.

-Jake No criticism here. I play with larger cartridges so... 220s will work in the woods but Certainly not needed. Jerry

-Jake I sure wouldn’t use them for deer. Way too much bullet.

Mb Back in the day when i had one of those, military ammo was pretty easy to come by. I had lots of Lake City match grade stuff id just pull the bullets from and then just reseat 150 gr hunting bullets. I sold mine after the lefty Savage bolt guns became available and still did the same with that as for ammo.

I got to play with my new '68 today at lunch. 3 different groups with IMR4350 and 180gr Sierras went under 1.5 inches. That's in a 30mph wind too. I'm thinking I might keep her.
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

bbassi, good deal, I got mine out yesterday and shot around a 1.75 three shot group at 100 yards, the first two were within an inch, the third walked out a bit left, wind, heavy trigger and me were most likely the cause, bout 1.5 inch high, plenty good enough for 200 yard deer hunting, load components are over 30 years old, I've kept them all this time, max charge of 61grs imr-4831 under the 165gr Speer hot-cor lit with Rem 9-1/2 primers, didn't chrono either, don't think the deer will care what the speed is.
The old 2-7 Redfield sitting in Weavers was surprisingly clear, skinny wire reticle, no duplex, but it'll do just fine, it was a pure blast finally shooting this old 760 Gamemaster.

-Jake The only 220 grain bbullets that I've tried and didn't shoot very accuartely is Hornady 220 RN. However, they were accurate enough for 250 yrad, maybe more. I shot 220 grain Core-Lokts at White tail in a 742. They made a hole all the way through. ha ha
