Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

has anyone checked out what 760/7600's are going for on gunbroker? holy crap. doesn't even have to be rare.

Yeah. That’s not realistic. It’s crossed my mind to sell my .35 Whelen on there though.

760 06 Myrtle wood
Both with Bushnell 2x7 3200 scopes



760 06 & 35 Whelen 7600

WOW KK!!! Beautiful wood.

Why not a 35??? I guess I haven't shot a deer yet so I don't really have a dog in this one. The 270 just plain works. I don't have one. That is a nice buck though. Did you get a camera angle that hides the rope burns on the neck? Be Well, RZ.

Picked up a 760 this afternoon. 30-06, late 70’s vintage.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Seriously though, have y'all been watching the prices of 760/7600 on GB and the like? They seem to be a better investment than gold or crypto right now! I can't believe what they are bringing and what the sellers think they are worth. Check out this frankingun.

People are dumb.

Gunbroker is unrealistic. I see 760/7600 for much less at shops.

And what people will pay for the mags for the pump and auto series.

I don't think $100+ is all that uncommon.

Glad I have a few. Even have some of the automatic mags that work in my pump. Those are worth extra when a 742 mag operates in your 760!!


Some aren't fortunate enough to get em to work!🤣🤣

Yeah TZone I agree, but you live in a rifle rich environment. Here we have very limited choices in LGS and when one shows up it's often gone the same day. For example, I put a pretty 1965 model 742 on consignment 12/27. (I know, not a pump but humor me) I just could not get it to shoot to my standards. Anyway, the dope at the LGS pulls out a book of gun values and tells me it's worth $350 tops. I told him I wanted $650 in my pocket, which with their markup put the tag at $815. The guy behind the counter insists it will never sell and goes so far as to write "must be picked up in 30 days if not sold" on my receipt.

I got a check dated 1/3 for the full amount I wanted this week, which means it didn't last a week at that price. The wife said I should have asked more. lol

I’m sure I could sell a few at these outrageous prices. But I’m not going to pay them fo get em back.

Selling my Whelen has crossed my mind tho.

'Grats on the new stick T, i have my old 1955 year model 760 '06 across my lap right now, didn't get to hunt with old bud at family homestead last fall, it got sold, no worries, about to finish shooting the rest of the 165gr Speer hot cores, think i'll load some 200gr Woodleighs over H-4831 and see how they fly, man that 2-7 Redfield mounted in low Weaver rings and bases is a perfect fit, maybe 3/16ths clearance over the barrel, it's almost like they knew what they were doing back in the day ; ]

I love this old pump gun.

I love 165’s in the 06 gunner. I think they’ve been accurate in all I’ve tried truthfully. And I hate to say it but most were Remington corelokts.

The federal Fusion 165’s fly great as well.

How did you like those Hot-cores?

Nothing wrong with the heavy for caliber core-lokts T, especially at 308/30-06 speeds, the Hot Cores shot around 1.5" at 100 for three, not bad for a heavy trigger and a book max load of IMR-4831, it would have been fine for intended purposes and range, the big Woodleighs are partial boxes i'll shoot up in this rifle, have some 200gr A-Frames and partitions too, also about 55 150gr partitions, betting most any book max load of H-4831 will make them fly plenty well enough for 200 yard deer and pigs.

I never even chronoed the Speers, thought was if i get hit by a semi running 55 mph or 70 mph it wont matter ; ]

The deer wouldn't have cared one bit.

I went to a gun show today. There were 3 total pump rifles. All 141s. Not a 760/7600 in the building.

141’s are cool.

Not $800 cool IMO.

One of these 141s are on my bucket list.

Remington 31 in 16 gauge with a full choke is another.

Certainly not. Lol
