Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Remington 760 .35 Remington

Scored an n.i.b condition KV barrel code ( May 1979) at Cabelas on Thursday.
She's in perfect condition, 100% finish on ALL surfaces.
Still tacky with whatever goop Illion put in them back in the day.
Paid a pretty penny for her, but with condition, caliber and being the last of her kind...
I have 200 cases and a small quantity of Hornady and Sierra 200 grain round noses. Gonna have some fun when I find primers and some Hodgdon LVR...
Would post pics, but the attachment manager isn't playing nice...

Nice find. I have one and it is a great shooter. Factory Hornady 200gr FTX under 1 in at 100yds. LVR with Speer 180gr does same. You'll like it. Dan.

Thanks!
When I was a kid, I thought the 760 was IT! Fine looks and handling. Had a few, most were superbly accurate. The was a .308... not so much.
Had a November 1980 .35, that a now departed friend begged for a trade. He was good to me, but I never even got a chance to shoot it...
WILL be shooting this one though.
The .35 Remington is just one of those special calibers that does what needs doing and does it WELL. Yes it's no long ranger. But 99.9999% of big game isn't taken at long range. And a good percentage of folk shouldn't be shooting past 100 yards in the field anyway.
Just sayin'...
I'm gonna smile when another soldier in the Pumpkin Infantry points at my 760 and says " 06?".
Nope, .35.
When ya say .35, everyone knows what you mean.

Try the Speer 180 grain. LVR if you can find it.

Killed my first deer with a Remington 760 Carbine 30.06 when I was 13 or 14.
Saved my money to buy it and traded it off on a Winchester model 100 .243....traded it a short time later. I traded guns like some people change their drawers

Have both and just scored 900 more 180 gr .358" Speer flatnoses . Well I thought it was a score $135 / 900. Mb

900 of anything for $135 IS a score today!
LFC,
I know how you feel. I was the same way until I got my T/C Firehawk and my laminate stocked Hawken.
I'm hoping this .35 joins them in the " Bury with me" club.

That's a helluva score!

A Remington 760 in the 35 Remington chambing is an excellent combination. It's kinda like putting a 45-70 in a Ruger No. 1. The 1982 Handloader magazine had an interesting article by Layne Simpson on what he called 35 Rem Super loads. For stronger actions only.

My only regret with using a 35 is that I waited until I was 50 to start. Nothing not to love.

900 must be a magic number!
Just score 900 Remington 200 grain round nose Core Lokts in 100 count Midway blue boxes.
$450. Found them in a little hole in the wall shop.
DEFINITELY A BARGAIN!!!
Those beauties are worth their weight in gold. Been a long time since I've seen them.

Muddly you officially SUCK.

Enjoy your good luck.

Congratulations!! I’ve been looking for a 760/35r for two years now to no avail. I’ve been a day late, dollar short once or twice. I do have a CVA SS 35rem, it’s my south Louisiana “muzzleloader”. Two hundred yards and in, it pole axes the deer. 2.5” high at 100y, 0 at 200y, 4.5” low at 250y....
Please post some pics for us to drool over, Merry Christmas!

Found this old 1st gen 760 in 35 Remington online and bought it today.

Lucked out as it is still all original, does show a bit of use (nothing serious), but no extra holes. Comes with 2 properly marked mags to boot.

Damn! What a score!

Wow awesome rifle!

An Elmer Fudd plaid hat with the ear flaps, and a ratty pair of Snowmobile boots, and a pot gut, and you'll be the stereotype upper midwest, or Pennsylvania deer hunter!!!

I have that article in a large compilation book called "Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges".

Here are the loads he listed for both reg 35 Remington and Super 35 loads. The super 200gr loads are quite a bit faster than the lever safe loads.

Thanks .... I was quite happy to find that one. I cannot believe the going price for 760/7600s these days, even in 30-06. This one was not cheap but priced fairly. Getting two properly stamped mags was a nice bonus and sealed the deal.

I have a nice 141 here, but my older eyes are not working well with the tang sight. I'll scope this one and fix that problem.
