Lovin' my 760 .35 Remington. KV barrel code says May 1979 and she was n.i.b. when I bought her last December. Put a n.i.b. Leupold M8 4x in low rings and a standard base. The scope is a J code, so it's 1978.
Scored 1400 200 grain Core Lokts from a little hole in the wall shop. With 45 grains of Hodgdon LVR I get 2285 fps over the chrono. She scares the crap out of a inch for 3 at 100. She also likes the Hornady round noses and especially the Sierra 200 grain round noses. Put 10 into 1 &3/8ths at 100.
Generally speaking, groups run from 3/4s to 1 & 1/2.
Wasn't looking for a 760 .35, but there she was.

No need at all but I like the looks and feel of a Rem 141. Why not go all the way and do 30 Rem or 32 Rem?

Callin' my NAME... I picked up a clean 77 vintage 30/06 a few years back cuz I ain't never had one. Put a scope on it and shot it a couple times. It don't exactly make me warm and fuzzy like packin a Marlin around. It's a good rifle just kinda blocky feeling compared to a lever. It just sits in the safe and don't get no love.

Callin' my NAME... Good rifles. I got 2 of the 1979 model 35 Remington's. Mine loves 41 gr's of H4895 with either a 200 grain RN or the 180 Speer FP. Gonna say it shoots average close to yours. Either side of an inch with the average being more under an inch than just over. Have shot groups pushing close to 1/2" but those are anomalies. But still, on average it's sub MOA. Runs 2325-2350 with 200's and closer to 2380 with the 180 Speer's. That load is well over book max but never gave me a hint of trouble in a 760 and now that GRT is available it says it's hanging just under 40,000 psi which I would never do in a 141, but that is nothing for a 760. Shot deer with both the 200 CL with that load, and the 180 Speer. It impressed me with both.

Trying something new on my Model 14. I found a dovetail mounted picatinny rail from Skinner Sights. My eyes just are not what they used to be but this thing is going to be a game changer for me. The dot in the picture is distorted. It's much smaller than that. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/ZKyfjWhH/IMG-4324.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/yx2LsH00/IMG-4328.jpg)

For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Well that's a new one for me! Hell, if it gets that rifle back in the woods, I'm all for it.
That dot doesn't look that big. It's not like you're bombing 400 yard shots with it.

The dot in the picture is distorted. It's much smaller than that. Cool deal! I'd be interested in hearing a range report and how you like it. I got numerous open sighted rifles, some are easier to shoot than others due to the sight size and design, and my not so young anymore eyes. Wouldn't want it on all of them but there's 1 or 2 that something like this would be a really good option for.

bbassi, I went to the Skinner site and couldn't find the Piccatinny rail you mentioned. Got any more detailed info? Got a 141 begging to get out of the safe.

That dot doesn't look that big. It's not like you're bombing 400 yard shots with it. in the area i hunt, 50 - 60 yards is a long shot. there is a couple of shooting lanes in the trees and brush that go 100-125 yards, but for 20 or so years, i haven't seen a deer go thru them. that reflex sight is good to go!!!

It's on this page about 1/3 of the way down. dovetail It was pretty well hid but I saw a picture on a google search and back tracked it to Skinner. Even then it took a while to find.

Skinner also makes a dovetail peep that I have on my 141, but I think this pistol reflex is going to be the ticket. It sure points nice and both eyes open is a big plus. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/zv8hCtgK/2EDC6CCD-7986-42FC-885E-D42F3834A9DB.jpg)

https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/red-dot-mounts/Turnbull also makes a variety of red dot mounts that will fit in the dovetail. Being Turnbull, they are very well made, but a little pricey.

Looks like another good option, thanks. But $$$!
