Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Pump Rifles and deer

I have both, with open sights or a peep I'd want the straight stock but with a scope I prefer the raised, it just fits me better. My days of roaming the woods are over so there's no real advantage to the carbine other than it's a little easier moving inside an enclosed blind.

That’s nice, looks very similar to the early low comb models. I have one from the early 70’s. It feels good with a low mounted scope, but really good with the Williams WGRS peep!

Found a beauty of a 1954 760 in aught-6. It’s tempting….very tempting.

Can get it for $575 with a magazine.

That seems like a bargain these days. I prefer the old ones with the corncob forends and uncheckered butt stocks. Bonus if it has the aluminum butt plate.

I think it’s probably priced right. Gunbroker is crazy but that’s also with more rare rifles. But for nostalgia it’s pretty tough to beat a mid 50’s 760 with open sights.

It is drilled and tapped. We were trying to find out if it was factory or not.

It does have the corncob stock and the aluminum butt plate. Along with a set of swivels that were put in very nicely.

The corn cob is not my favorite style but not bad. Don’t care for the newer ones with the real wide forearm.

My 1954 isdrilled and tapped. It was my Dads 270. Edk

I could be wrong on this so don't take it as gospel, but I believe the 1954 models would've came factory drilled and tapped for scope mounts. In 1952 they were not, in 1953 they also were not, but the 1953 BDL model that we now call 5 diamond was drilled and tapped, and I believe by 1954 they all were, but I could be off by a yr or so on that.

Awesome. Thank you. Does it have 3 holes or 4 for the mount?

Picked up a 7600 35 whelen for $550. This w as 3 years ago. Has 1.75x5 vortex on it

How do you like that scope? I wish leupold still made the 1.75-6.

does Leopold have a 2-7x anymore? i have 2 or 3 of them and i don't have no complaints.

Tzone. Like the vortex. It's got a 32 front objective. It's compact. It does have bullet compensating reticle. Clear scope. Dials are spot on. Large fov at 1.75. 5x is enough

I think they do. But the size of the VX3 1.75-6 was just perfect for the balance of the pump rifles.

If I get this one Skinner sights will be a strong consideration.

Have my 760 std 308 rifle ready to go its a 54 model with the grooved forend and Old 1 piece Redfield Jr base with flip up peep. Scope is a Vari X llc 3x9. Shoots 150 gr Hornady sp's nice with TAC..MB

And the insanity continues. It makes it really hard to hold onto my 308 carbine. lol

carbines

My 30/06 carbine is in about identical shape to that one. I’d be happy to sell it for 2/3 of what that’s going for. Crazy

WOW, I have one sitting in the back of the safe, who knew.

Well it’s not a deer but we were deer hunting with a pump rifle. My 8 year old son with his 50’s 760 in 300 Savage.

Ha! Love it!

Hell yeah!
