I could like it with a walnut stock in a .308 WIN or a .270 WIN.

Picked up my "Kool Blue" 25-06 from the FFL last week.

Told the guy the story that I had the 7600 in 25-06 with the gray/black laminate stock a few years ago but did not like the stock and used it in a trade for a 7600 in 257 Roberts.

So he opens up the box and said," so you wanted one even uglier".

Well he is right it is even uglier than the gray/black laminate.

Have not shot it yet. Need a scope, mounts, rings, sling ect..

Don't think I will get it done this year.

So now I have 7600's in 6mm Rem, 25-06 Rem, 257 Roberts, 7mm-08 Rem, 30-06 (son), 35 Rem and 35 Whelen.

Would like 260 Rem, 300 Savage and 358 Win if they would only make it.

But of course I only use the 35 Rem 90% of the time and the Whelen the other times.

I dig that one.
Not so much the Blue one.
But To each his own.

My 760 was an '06 in BDL
basket pressed checkering and super shiny finish.

Shined like a [bleep] heel.
I had a Redfield widefield in 3 X 9 on it
And shot the crap out of it.
Always hoping to destroy the finish so I could re-stock it.
( but never did )

Pummped tons of surplus ammo thru it. Even a few tracers.
Lots of AP's
not all non-corrosive. Some would turn it green in a couple hours.

TG for non corrosive primers.

I also planned on re- barreling to .35 Whelen .. but life caught up before I could.

My 7600 is a 7mm-08. My son, Chad, "High Brass" got it for me. Right now it's got a Nikon Monarch 2x7 in Burris Signature Zee rings and a Warne one piece base. I sent it to a guy in Va. and got a trigger job done. I buffed the stock finish with 00 steel wool to give it more of a satin finish.

I bought this 760 30-06 in '77. High Brass owns it now. I removed the whiteline spacers, roughed up the stock finish, and shot three coats of satin polyureathane on it. BTW, that's High Brass' buck.
