I have one ready to go a 1977 760 in 30/06 with 1.5-5 leupy that might see some use this season.

Does anyone know a gunsmith that rebarrels and converts 7600s? I am aware of Nate Chesney, was wondering if there was anyone else. I have a 7600 I'd like to turn into a 9.3x62.

I checked my zero today. Three rounds into 1 3/8” at 100 yards prone over a backpack. Only fired 4 rounds, first was a “fouler.”

Agreed. Personally if it were mine I'd be looking for a nice satin wood set but it wouldn't be a deal breaker as is.
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.

I had some pump activity this past weekend when I sighted in 760 and 7600 30-06's. I should say, checked zero. They don't change much over the years. Dead on at 50 yds, 1.5" high at 100 with Hornady American Whitetail 150gr Interlocks.

Beretzs, from what I understand of 760's the butt will interchange with 20 ga m870 wood. Might be something to check out. I've allways thought that generation of 760 BDL's with the monte carlo and the basket weave checkering were gaudy but some what unique...mb

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. While I would not D&T a nice survivor 141, I would have no troubles scoping one that was drilled already. That sounds like a great little rifle set up you did.

Could try Ahlman's in Morristown, MN I'll check them as well! Just sent them an email. I ain't scared to use it with the plastic, but it would be nice with a satin finished set. Heck, I'd likely get two sets and replace the glossy ones on my 280 Rem. It's that anniversary model. Looks sharp, but it won't after a few miles in the brush I'd bet.
