He kept pumping and pulling the trigger, saying "pow" "pow" every time he pulled the trigger. I asked him later if he always said "pow" when he shot, he wondered I was talking about, so I told him. He does it, and he's completely unaware!
That one had me laughing out loud. Probably a throw back from his Red Ryder days.
We had a 760 in .30-06 as a backup elk rifle for quite a few years. It probably had more elk kills to it's credit than any of our more "serious" but all too temporary bolt rifles as we experimented with every new caliber to come down the pike. Not that we had that many problems with the bolt guns but the 760 carried so well with it's flat sides that it got carried a lot when we were just looking to change our luck.
What I remember most about that rifle was the slickness of the action. It was only so-so in the accuracy dept. but we all liked it. Eventually the stock developed a crack and we sold it. It's one rifle that I would like to have back.
