I would like a 35 Remington but I do have an eye on a used 7600 in 308. They want $550 for it. I’m thinking real hard about getting it. I will need to seal it into the house. That's a good price these days if it's in good condition.

Sighted in my new to me 760 in 30-06 yesterday. Topped with a Leupold Freedom 3-9x40. Shot right at 1MOA with Winchester 150gr Power Points. Shot it at 50, 100, and 200. It'll do How old a 760 did you find Zoner?..mb Berets was it gold plated? I do t think kits too old. Late 70’s early 80’s probably. The glossy stock and white line spacer era.

Yes sir. It looks almost brand new. It has black synthetic and doesn’t appear to have been shot much if at all. I was surprised there was no hardware for a sling on it. That’s no big deal to add. I’m still debating whether or not to get it. I definitely don’t need it but hard to pass on a good deal.

Cool, it will a good deer killer for sure. The 06 I found this spring is one of the old ones with the 5 of diamonds checkering pattern...mb

Definitely a cool donor for a 338 Federal or 358 Win if someone were wanting a quick one.

The little 338 Federal in a 760/7600 would be pretty sweet. Plus, JES makes it so easy to do it.

They made those 760s in 35Remington in both the 1st gen 760 and in the later version 760 with the free floated bbl. I had one of the later 760s in 35Remington and foolishly sold it. That one is on the short list of the ones I should have not sold.

I had one long ago. It was the 7600 with the synthetic stock. It's the only Rem pump I've ever had that wouldn't shoot.

I am a Model 70 guy or similar through and through, but the 760/7600's I have had and shot to this point have been awesome shooters and nothing much has been handier for deer hunting. Hell, if I was a brave enough soul I'd take one to Wyoming and church up the mountains with a little class with the 7600 280..

I haven’t been back to the gun shop to check on it. Just too busy at work. I might get back over there next week. It is a good deal but I hope someone else makes my decision for me.

I think we might have a new contender for opening day.
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.

Those 141’s are great rifles. I had a .35 I turned into a carbine and drilled and tapped for a scope mount. With a 1.5-5 Leupold I had about the best woods gun going. Stupidly I sold it here on the free classified’s. If who ever bought it reads this, I would formally like to ask for the chance to buy it back.

Miguel I thought about chopping this one but it carries so well full length I just can't. Hell I went with the Skinner barrel peep because I didn't want to drill and tap it. It's not perfect and has some warts but I will too at 76 I imagine.
