Nothing ugly about a 760 is any flavor or scope color combniation IMHO.
If it's functional and effective at killing deer, then it's a thing of beauty as far as I am concerned.
Real nice 760, looks to be in the 1963 to 1967 date of manufacture range?

10 gauge I have to ask. What did you do that the horned toad says go to Mexico? You are already in the state of Misery. Be Well, RZ.

Found and purchased a nice 30/06 760 from the 70's . Paid too much for it but hey the prices on Remington are jacked up crazy high right now. Already have dies and components so no problem to feed it. Found a Burris "short" mount and with some low rings a Leupy 2.5-8 fits real nice. Will prolly kill sum chit with it this season.

The horned Toad thing posts where I have been watching. Maybe it just doesn't show for you until it comes up on the thread. Be Well, RZ.

I actually like the kooks of the older 760 it is sleeker with better lines. Not a big fan of squared off foreends. I have a model 14 made in 1920 in 30 rem that weighs about 6 1/4 lbs. Shoots about 2" groups at a hundred yards with a Redfield peep sight and 170 grain bullets. Carries and mounts like a fine shotgun .Those are a nice pair of bookends in the life of the 760. Which one is your favorite.
Life is too short to hunt with ugly guns.

Which one is your favorite. I have 7 of them, four 30-06's, a .270. a .308, and a 35 Remington and I like them all. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the 30-06 Carbine, which is 1979 vintage.

Good looking kar-byne. Probably a good shooter too. I saw my folding stock set up while looking for other things and have forgotten why it isn't installed yet. So there is a 760, 358 Winchester awaiting its alteration into a truck gun. Barrel needs threading and the stock installed. Don't hold yer breath. Lots of projects in the Que. Be Well, RZ.

Put some more 150 gr. Nosler ballistic tips through the 1977 760 30/06 and confirmed it's a good load. When I can "work" the trigger groups are sub moa. Killed tons of deer with 150 NBT's so I have knowledge of how they work.
Worked it's cousin today also , an early 80's wingmaster police trade in.
760 and 870 are a good pair.

Had a 4x Leupold compact on my lone 760. Now wears a 2-7X. Longer tube, so could set it back a little more. Older, my neck doesn't bend like it used to. Could run the 4x compact but over time was a strain. Max comfort w no base mods, just ran a longer tube scope.

Picked up a used but nice shape 7600 yesterday in 270 It has a barrel band sling swivel setup and a 1 piece weaver base. The scope is a bushnell sharpshooter 3x9 with bushnell rings , I m going to shoot it as is a few rds then the scope and rings will get pulled and zero the irons. It will get rescoped with weaver rings holding a Vari X llc 2x7. Will try to make meat with it this fall. Mb

I've had almost all the rest except .257R and .223. I've had a .280 a few times though.

That’s the reason there are NO irons on any CF rifle I have. If the rifle came with irons I took them off EXCEPT a few Roogers lol which weren’t removable. Used to have Bubba See Thrus in the 70 s Didn’t use them either. Unnecessary weight and front hanging on objects !!! Never needed irons ! Jerry

Well another plan of mine is kinda retro but IDGF. I have an old red and green box of rem 150 rn softpoint in .277" going to work up a load that's at about 2800 fps for that 7600 to Use on deer this fall. Mb

I’ve got a 760 with Skinners I might try something similar on.

MB, those 150RN will make meat. I use the Speer 150's and they work rather well.

I think so to my last Black Hills doe fell on the spot to a 150 gr rn Corelokt out of my 30-30 at 99 yards. Lotta old boys used round nose bullets all their lives with perfect results. The places I'll use them 200 yds would be a damn long shot. I guess more than anything while I am still able to I want to experience as many different loads and bullets as I can. Mb

When I first started using CF rounds for deer I used strictly spritzer bullets at or near max loads. I have gradually come to my senses ( haven’t killed a deer at more than 165 yards) and now use mostly round nose bullets at more sedate velocities. Deer are just as dead but a lot less wasted blood shot meat.
