As a Lefty, I’ve found pumps work well for me. The 760/7600’s are also simple to switch the safety for lefty’s. Also as a lefty, I found growing up with 870's it was easy to work the right-handed safeties by using my left thumb.

I always liked these Tootsie Roll grooved forearms. Had one on a 742 carbine, 141, 62A, 61 and a model 12.
My other auto is a .45

I picked up a '68 in 270 last week. Then went and bought a verity of factory from Walmart to see if it would like anything. I think she'll do ok. Winchester PP on top, Remington 150 RN in the middle and Federal blue box on the bottom. 100 yds. She's not picky. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/43bKY38v/8-E0-F14-E2-CB6-F-4612-8-A50-5-BE58-F9-DA46-D.jpg)

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

February before last I scored a 760 5 of diamonds vintage in 30-06 and a std grade 760 in 308. The 308 had a old Reffield jr 1 piece mount on it. One of those with the flip down peep on the back of the base..I wanted to see how good it would shoot so I put a Vari X llc 3x9 on it. Rough sighted it at 25 yds yesterday moved back to 50 yds and dialed ii in using some handloads with Tac and the old 125 gr RP cone pt. Will switch to heavier bullets and get it 2" high at 100. Was pleasantly surprised at how tight it shot. Somewhere down the line I'll pull the scope and set up the peep and a right height frt sight for back up. Getting the itch. mb

I thought the insanity had ended. Guess not? CarbineFor historical purposes, 1979 308 carbine. Sold for $4225 (plus tax and GB "fee") It will be interesting to see if it gets relisted.
