I had a 7600 in 308 come back to me by way of a friend a few years ago who “rented” it for about 15 years and I was glad to have it back. The reason I had that rifle in the 1st place was that Remington loaded their 180gr SPCL, a RN corelokt bullet in 308Win - one of the best woods cartridges ever made. It is their “R308W2” Ammo model number (the W1 being the PSPCL). They still sell it (loaded) but you can’t get the component bullets anymore. In 30-06 they still offer their 220gr. RN I believe.
Didn't get a bear. Too much corn standing yet. The deer I've shot with them worked really well. Not much if any bloodshot meat

I"ve got 2 of those 7600's in 270 Win that I really have no use for. If someone needs a good deal on them please shoot me a PM.

Why don't you keep that 35 and sell me the odd-6?

edited to add....That 35 Whelen is pretty sweet!

Great job Zone. I guess you didn't push that one to someone else...

I’m a slacker this year on pumps. I lost my dad back in the summer and used his Marlin 35 week one. I pulled my BLR 358 out of the safe for week two. I got a buck with each. Keep the pump stories and pics coming.

Sorry to hear about your dad Marc.

Folks if someone is looking for a steal on a 7600 there’s one in the classifieds right now. Someone grab it before I piss the wife off (again).


The chances they come, and the chances they go.
But the time. You don't get that back.

I stumbled upon this thread a few years ago and it caused a bit of an undoing for me. The pictures and stories fueled a lust, but my paycheck and growing family kept a bolt action in my hands hunting the “big woods”. The cheapest rifle is the one you already have kind of deal. I mentioned my interest in a Remington 760 to my Dad in passing, he kept that in the back of his mind. A week or so after our conversation he stopped at a garage sale, the guy had a few orange vests and half a box of ammo sitting on a table and that peaked my father’s interest “have any rifles for sale?” The guy running the sale paused before saying “hold on a minute”. He brought back a 1976 760 in 30-06 wearing a Redfield wide view 2x7 for the steep price of a hundred bucks.

I swear I started seeing more deer I started hunting this rifle.

I appreciate this thread for the inspiration that has lead to some priceless memories for me.

That’s cool. I love the old Redfields. Some rifles have mojo, looks like your dad found you one.

This year’s buck was my best yet, it was also one of the best opening days that I’ve had. I had located a spot I wanted to deer hunt in the Allegheny National Forest after I spent some time hunting/scouting during the Pennsylvania bear season.

Right before noon on opening day I missed a very nice buck at point blank range. I center punched a big tree that magically disappeared during my adrenaline dump. It was nice to know my heart still worked though.

In the last hour of daylight I caught this one feeding out from a laurel thicket. He didn’t materialize until he was at 60 yards, I tucked a 150 grain corelokt behind his right shoulder and watched as he did the death run directly towards me. At 30 yards he cut left running broadside and by that time I had a fresh round in the tube. I let him come into the scope and dropped him with a shoulder shot.
