Nathan does nice work. I had him recently do a 7600 for me in .358 Win with a 20" Krieger barrel. His shop is only an hour away from my home. Sounds like the perfect Whitetail rifle!

nice gun. i'd like it better with an 18.5" tube though. i have one of the 7600 factory carbines in whelen and i love it. after getting a match trigger, it shoots into one boring hole all day.

I never had a 7600 and only one 760. It was in .223 and shot under an inch with most factory ammo. No telling what it would have done with a sweet trigger. That was in my gun of the week/month period and it went for something else interesting. How do you say d u m b ?

Jack I saw one of these about 6 months ago in a very well known Pa gun shop and was surprised at the $2400.00 price tag on it. Didn't realize a 760 could be so valuable.

If it looks good, you'll see it
If it sounds good, you'll hear it
If it's marketed right, you'll buy it
But...If it's real, you'll feel it

Nathan is about 2.5 hour's away from me. I brought him my 7600 .35 whelen rifle to turn into a carbine. He did a perfect job. Only extra's was he installed a oversize safety and he slicked up the trigger. At 1 point this year 3 people were shooting rem pumps to sight in for the coming season and all could not believe the trigger on mine compared to the one's on their rifle. 2 are supposed to send their trigger group's to nathan. I am going to have him do something to another rem pump but have not decided what.

I talked to Nathan yesterday - for you PA guys, he said he has a booth at the Harrisburg show in February.

Those Rem. pump guns are very popular in Pa.. The used gun racks were loaded with them.. I thought of picking one up several times.. As much as I love pump shotguns, I have never owned a Rem. pump rifle.. But since I doubt I do much more east coast deer hunting, I guess I will pass.. Nice to see someone who customizes these rifles...

Scott and Nathan,
Pretty cool!
I wonder, can one be built for a 358 Hoosier? 358 Win case shortened to 1.800"
Be a slick deer hunting rifle for IN...
Happy New Year guys!

I could totally dig one of those in 9.3x62. I think the guys in Zim who have to take out entire small herds of Elephants could really appreciate one like that as well.
My likey dis one though, a LOT.

Make for a sweet 338-06 that platform. My bro-in-law did one in 338-06. Good shooter. Don't remember all the details. Believe it was a re-barrel job only though. He loves these 760/7600s.
