My Amish friends use model 7's, Marlin 30-30's, and quite a few 760's, in 270 and 06. They even call them "Amish Machine Guns." An early 760 with a corncob front stock has been on my wish list for a while,' probably in 30--06, but any cartridge would make me happy. Last edited by bja105; 10/12/10. Jason

He just about wore it out when we were younger. When everyone else was grab-assin', playing football and in general hitting the social scene he was hunting. From age 16 (when he got his license) to age 25, if he wasn't, eating, f*****g or sleeping, he was hunting. He's a machinist by trade, and began putting together his own rifles when he was around 25. If he hadn't have started hunting with other rifles he built, I think he would have worn that 760 out. He still has it. He rarely rifle hunts anymore...no sport in it; he prefers archery hunting now.

Back in the day, they used old obsolete guns, until the Game Commission made them buy hunting licenses. Now they mostly have expensive bolt action high power rifles. The Amish and expensive bolt action rifles don't seem to go together.

That's not a 760 Gamemaster. Its a model 141 It's not a M141, as I stated in my original post it's a M14. "My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income."

Catholics are strict Model 70 users, using anything else is a Deadly Sin. Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Maybe I'm protesting something by using different makers... Selmer "Daddy, can you sometime maybe please go shoot a water buffalo so we can have that for supper? Please? And can I come along?

Since that time, I come to the conclusion that mixing guns and religion only leads to bad things. Time to step away.

YOU may be able to shoot a pump faster than I can shoot an auto BUT I can shoot a semi- auto faster than I can shoot a pump. That was the point I was trying to make.You either get it or you dont. Actually I find I shoot plenty fast enough with a bolt action . Last edited by bcraig; 10/14/10. Faster horses,Younger women,Older Whiskey,More money

You guys must be a couple of those "liberal" pastors I heard about when I attended a Church Of God. Liberal? I've never been so insulted. Just kidding padre. I always thought baptists use 30-06, methodists 30-30, and we non-denominational Christians 270 (or 7x57). Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply.

The magazines are different for the shorter length cartridges like the .308 & .243.

If you hold a little forward tension on the forearm they will not make any noise! Have been hunting with the pump rifle and shotgun for so long its just natural to me. For a leftie they just seem to work and can shoot it faster and more accurate than most bolt actions. KK kk alaska Alaska 7 months of winter then 5 months of tourists
