THAT’S why I NEVER consider G B. Ridiculous. 2 other options are reasonable. Used from individuals. Gun Shows.

What is the preferred scope for a pump rifle? Over the many years, I've tried darn near every configuration of Leupold scopes on my 760's/7600's. and have mostly settled on the VX-II or 2, 2-7x, Duplex, for just about all of them. Except the .358Win wears a Vari-X III, 1.75-6x E, which is pretty much the same thing. All in the lowest mounts possible, as Super Cub has already mentioned. Oh, and some of my "swamp rifles" have Weaver PIVOT mounts/rings. ( Let the flames begin) AND, BTW, they have never failed me over 40+ years of using them. They come in very handy when you have to look for a bear in a cedar swamp at near dark. WN

The best one IMO is the one Leupold doesn't make anymore. The 1.75x6.

I have a '69 Rem 742 308 Carbine that has visited Ahlmans for the pump conversion. I wonder what it would bring on GB? I could list it as "rare".

I hunted hogs and roe deer in Germany with a 1980 Rem Model 760 in 30-06. It was light and accurate despite the heavy trigger. When I moved back to the US, I had a gunsmith tune the trigger and add a recoil pad. My Dad has that rifle now and favors it over many others.

What is the preferred scope for a pump rifle? I no longer have any ‘short range’ rifles.... so I have 4–12X40 s on my Model Sixes. 4–12 covers any/all situations, even thick cover. BTDT...., 4X works. Jerry

Picked up another 760 today. .300 Savage. Couldn't walk past it. [/url] [/url] Has a weaver k4 on it. With a flip to the side mount. Hit the 6" gong 3 times in a row from the porch (97 yards) when I brought it in the door. So it'll do good on the doe this year I think. -Jake

Fired the .35 Whelen today.
This thing is a riot to shoot! Recoil was completely different than I thought it would be. Stout, but definitely not uncomfortable.
Sighted it in at 50 yards after the bore sight. Moved to 100 and it was 1’ish inch high. Should be ready to rock on opening day in a few weeks.
