Got it. Mine is a mid-late '60s era gun. Will have to take it doen and look at the attachment set up.
Would like to stick a synthetic stock on it, get rid of the stud that moves with the forearm and use a barrel band sling stud.

If you have the swivel stud that attaches add moves with the forearm, that should be a post 68 gun and they should interchange just fine. You can usually find the correct OEM capscrew on Fleabay to replace the screw with the swivel stud, that's what I did. I like to shoot the 760's hasty sling style and that damn moving front swivel stud is certainly not conducive to that.

I’ve got an old 760 35 rem that I would love to hunt with but due to my eyes I’ll need a scope. Did anyone ever make a no drill scope mount for them? I’ve thought about drilling and tapping it but I just can’t bring myself to have the ol’ girl messed with.

I’ve thought about drilling and tapping it but I just can’t bring myself to have the ol’ girl messed with. IDK for sure, but I think Remington used the same trigger housing for the 760 and they did for the 870. Without getting my Mic out they look really close. That said, I wonder if you could use one of these saddle mounts through the trigger pins. I've never seen it done on a 760, but most of the 760s were factory tapped I think. It might be worth a try if you can find one in a bargain bin somewhere.
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.

What the demand is for 308 carbines IMHO if you reload just load a 30-06 to 308 velocity and pay less. There's no difference is action length. My 30-06 load is about the same as 308 for both of my rifles and it kills just fine. Dave, I agree with you on all counts, and even if you aren't a reloader reduced loads are manufactured for the 30-06. I think the current demand, and the prices are due to the rarity of them. Back in the 60's-70's gunwriters of the day had consumers chasing velocity, hence carbines were not that much in demand, everyone wanted a 22 inch barrel on those pumps. The few that went against the grain tended to buy a carbine in 30-06, probably because it handled heavier bullets better according to gunwriters of the day. I know when I bought my 30-06 carbine in 1979 my LGS didn't have any in stock, all the 22 inch barrels you wanted but no carbines so they had to order mine. Now fast forward to the present. I think because of what I stated above, there are not to many carbines out there in the used market in .308 and obviously they aren't making them anymore. I looked for YEARS, not because I needed one, but because I wanted one and they are extremely hard to find. If you look hard enough you can find them in 30-06 but .308 carbines are rare birds. So I got to the point that I didn't care what it cost, I just wanted one. A local LGS owner had one(his personal gun) and I bugged him for years, he didn't want to sell, so this year I just kept upping the offer $100 at a time untill he went for it. I felt I overpaid for it but I didn't care. Then in light of the fact that I saw 2 sell on Gunbroker recently for $1600 and $1800 I realized I did well on the purchase. Additionally the one bbassi mentioned in his post above sold yesterday for $1876. Now the only Carbine I want is a 760 in .35 Remington, but that one will be real tough if not impossible as they only produced it from 1964 to 1967 and again in 1979 and in that 5 year period only made 454 of them according to records I had gotten from Remington. I'm sure if one came up on Gunbroker it would top out at over 5 grand. If youre gonna hunt it just buy a reg .35 and have it cut down. Really wanted one myself, but got a beater regular .35 And i thought about getting it cut down. Ya know what? It aint exactly what I wanted, and it works so well Im just gonna hafta tolerate it

Benbo, can your eyes make use of a peep sight? OK, an Aperture. I just wondered as they always help me. I am still OK with the ghost ring but a scope is much easier. I look for the scope to become necessary as I'm hitting the 70 year mark soon. Be Well, RZ.

Ordered a set of low Talleys for the 760 Carbine today.
Going to put a Burris 1.5x USA made FF on it. Should be a dandy woods rifle.
Probably use some 180 grain Sierra RN ProHunters to kill deers.

I have A Remington 141 in 35 with a peep. I killed one of my deer with it last year and it worked great. I truly enjoy using the iron sighted guns more then I do scope guns so even though I "need a scope" too, I usually do not use one unless I am down to the last 2 days of a season. Not always, but usually. The deer I shot with my 35 Rem last year from sitting, with a hand rested on a dead tree and the shot was 181 yards. I also killed one whitetail last year with a Marlin 36, 30-30 also with a peep sight and that shot measured at 212 yards. That shot was made from prone resting over a hunting pack.
Come to think of it, of all the kills I made last season, all 6 were made with iron sighted guns. M1 Garand 30-06 30-30s 35 Remington, 303 British and 300 Savages.
So 10Gaugemag, I think if you take the old gun out and hunt with it you'll do OK even without a scope and I'd bet if you make some kills you'll enjoy it and the memories of them more than if you use a scoped gun.
But that's just how I feel...................others may not feel the same way.

What sights do you guys have on your pump guns? Just mounted a USA made Burris Fullfield 1 1/2x on mine today. My eyes have a hard time picking up a front sight in low light anymore. I hunt the thick brush in creek bottoms so it is dark in there a little longer and gets dark a few minutes earlier than if I were hunting less dense timber or open areas.

I see your point 10gauge. The dot sights or a lit reticle are probably the cats pajamas for the dark times in the day. Good luck with them and please share a photo with us about the hunt and how the gun ran for you. Be Well, RZ.
