Whoa…. Very sweet!

Is that an 06 or 300 Savage?

It’s an 06. It actually cleaned up really nicely. I think it had been in a smoker’s house for a long time and was kinda sticky with the yellow tar. It does have a small amount of light freckling that didn’t quite completely go away but it’d be a nice user.

You did well with that one. That's a dandy buck getter.

Man, 68 pages! Hunters really like pumps!

At least I know what guns I need to buy for a future investment now.

JD45, I sure wish that I'd had that same insight back when I disposed of a 141 .35 and a 760 Roberts. Too small a gun safe, too short a deer season and too many rifles.

I couldn’t pass up this 7600 in 270 Win. It now wears a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9x40 which will get replaced eventually.

Is the barrel marked “carbine” on it? If so you did better than you might be thinking?!

Oh yeah it’s the genuine article, “Carbine” rollmark ahead of the chamber and the funny shaped stamped steel forend cap.

Kid you shoot that yet?

i have a Remington m14 in 30 Remington with a Lyman R14 tang sight.




i had a Remington m760 in 308 Win. also my dad (RIP) gave me another Rem m760 in '06. my son has his great grandpap Rem m760 in '06.

So how's the 760 in 308 shoot?

Yeah I shot it after I got it cleaned up. Exactly what I expected out of a 30/06 carbine, kinda loud, kinda muzzle flashy, puts 180s right under the front bead.

I need to find someone who has an S&W 44 they don’t need and needs this Carbine I really don’t need. Then we can both be happy. 😁

i used 150gr Hornady RN and 170gr Hornady FP and they shot great (3/4 - 1 1/2" at 100 yards, 5 shots). the pump gun was a good deer rifle, 15 - 20 deer. it ran out luck when i killed my first black bear (396lbs). so i sold it.

I need to snap a pic next time we go out. Yesterday I put the shortened stock I bought off a Fire member on my son’s 1954 production 760 in 300Sav. I pulled the plug screws I’m pretty sure had never been out of the receiver and mounted an M8 4x Leupold in plain old Weaver rings.

We loaded up a few rounds with 130gr Speer FN 30/30 bullets over a reduced charge of IMR 4895. I didn’t have any H4895 but found an older article by John Barsness wherein he stated that he’d spoken with the folks at Hodgdon and there was no issue with using the same formula for reduced loads using IMR instead of H4895. So we used the 60 percent formula and should be getting pretty much 30/30 ballistics. I shot a couple to get us sighted in and let him take over. He has to have a rest because it’s too heavy for him to hold, being a 40lb guy. But he was hitting clay pigeons at 50 yards and having a ball shooting his “big” rifle. He killed a doe last fall and is sure now that he’s equipped to kill a big buck as well as an elk this year. I hope he’s right.

Can’t wait to see that rifle laying over some fur!

I just shot a ground hog with my 7600 308 carbine. No great shot. About 70 yards. 180 grain sierra roundnose 44 grains of 4895. This little rifle points all by itself. No recoil, and light to carry. I will be using it more for deer and black bear.

my late uncle has a m7600 in '06 (my cousin has it) and he tells me its not a great shot either. my 760 in 308 was a great shot and so was my grandpap and dad's (RIP) m760 in '06.

Mine is a real shooter. One of the most accurate rifles I own. I meant the shot wasn't really tough.

This thread had been a really bad influence on me. I need another safe.

I take a bow to you sir!
