I have been wanting to buy a Remington 760/7600 pump rifle for years and JB article recently just added fuel to the fire. A couple of months ago I was able to pick up a real nice Remington 141 in 35 Remington and was very happy with it.Went into a local gun shop yesterday and they had a new Remington 7615 ranch rifle in .223 that takes AR style mags. Just about bought it.Has a real nice walnut stock,but it's not cheap at $700. Anybody here have any experiance with these? Thank you

Not critisising if that's what you like......but for exactly what reason would you feel the need for a 30-shot magazine hanging out of the bottom of a pump action rifle???
The beauty of the pump action Remingtons (particularly the older Model 14 and 141's) is that they are slim, slick and trim. A magazine hanging out 8" from the bottom would look more like the rifle had some kind of cancerous growth than trim.

Do they make 5 rounders for them?

I have one with the synthetic pistol grip stock 16" 1/9 twist barrel This thing will put all 30 rounds in a 1" group at 100 yds from the bench, and standing off hand I can empty it almost as fast as a AR. The beauty of it here in Pa. I can hunt with it. Fun gun all around. JMHO

I like the idea of a .223 in the Remington pump rifle. Lots of coyotes in my area.I bird hunt with a 870 so I should be able to get a few shoots off quick. I will use a 10 round mag when legal.

A little off topic but I really like my Remington 572 Fieldmaster .22 pump.

They are as popular as cold beer in Australia, where they can't have ARs any more. They sell a lot of them to the commercial hunters of pigs and kangaroos.
Oddly, they can't have pump shotguns, but CAN have pump rifles, lever rifles, and lever shotguns. Yeah, they have some fouled up laws................. For whatever reasons, they can have 7615s, though, and they ARE popular. I'm not sure about magazine restrictions, it depends on which state they're in, I think, but some states allow the 30 rounders, too.

20 round PMag would work nicely.

Unless I was precluded by law from using a semi-auto rifle in 223 to hunt with, such as in PA, I can't see the lure of a pump action 223.
I once had a NIB 760 in 223, purchased at J.W. Barber's Discount Store in West Lebanon, NH, back in the late 1960s for under $150. My Father thought that it was a waste of $$, the wrong vehicle for a 223, so he convinced me to trade it for a NIB 660 in 222 at The Green Store in North Haverhill, NH, just a few months later.

Shoulda kept it. M760s in 222 and 223, fetch a pretty good premium these days.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

A friend of mines dad had a Remington M760 in 222 when we were kids. His parents divorced and I saw his dad maybe twice after that before he died, my friend has no idea where his guns went as he married and divorced again before he passed. I have seen one M760 in 223 about 10 years ago in a pawnshop. Im suprised the M7615s havent become popular, I wouldnt mind having one, but not with an M16 mag hanging out the bottom.
