Scored an n.i.b condition KV barrel code ( May 1979) at Cabelas on Thursday.
She's in perfect condition, 100% finish on ALL surfaces.
Still tacky with whatever goop Illion put in them back in the day.
Paid a pretty penny for her, but with condition, caliber and being the last of her kind...
I have 200 cases and a small quantity of Hornady and Sierra 200 grain round noses. Gonna have some fun when I find primers and some Hodgdon LVR...
Would post pics, but the attachment manager isn't playing nice...

Nice find. I have one and it is a great shooter. Factory Hornady 200gr FTX under 1 in at 100yds. LVR with Speer 180gr does same. You'll like it. Dan.

Thanks!
When I was a kid, I thought the 760 was IT! Fine looks and handling. Had a few, most were superbly accurate. The was a .308... not so much.
Had a November 1980 .35, that a now departed friend begged for a trade. He was good to me, but I never even got a chance to shoot it...
WILL be shooting this one though.
The .35 Remington is just one of those special calibers that does what needs doing and does it WELL. Yes it's no long ranger. But 99.9999% of big game isn't taken at long range. And a good percentage of folk shouldn't be shooting past 100 yards in the field anyway.
Just sayin'...
I'm gonna smile when another soldier in the Pumpkin Infantry points at my 760 and says " 06?".
Nope, .35.
When ya say .35, everyone knows what you mean.

Try the Speer 180 grain. LVR if you can find it.

Killed my first deer with a Remington 760 Carbine 30.06 when I was 13 or 14.
Saved my money to buy it and traded it off on a Winchester model 100 .243....traded it a short time later. I traded guns like some people change their drawers

Have both and just scored 900 more 180 gr .358" Speer flatnoses . Well I thought it was a score $135 / 900. Mb

900 of anything for $135 IS a score today!
LFC,
I know how you feel. I was the same way until I got my T/C Firehawk and my laminate stocked Hawken.
I'm hoping this .35 joins them in the " Bury with me" club.

That's a helluva score!

A Remington 760 in the 35 Remington chambing is an excellent combination. It's kinda like putting a 45-70 in a Ruger No. 1. The 1982 Handloader magazine had an interesting article by Layne Simpson on what he called 35 Rem Super loads. For stronger actions only.

My only regret with using a 35 is that I waited until I was 50 to start. Nothing not to love.

900 must be a magic number!
Just score 900 Remington 200 grain round nose Core Lokts in 100 count Midway blue boxes.
$450. Found them in a little hole in the wall shop.
DEFINITELY A BARGAIN!!!
Those beauties are worth their weight in gold. Been a long time since I've seen them.

Muddly you officially SUCK.

Enjoy your good luck.

Congratulations!! I’ve been looking for a 760/35r for two years now to no avail. I’ve been a day late, dollar short once or twice. I do have a CVA SS 35rem, it’s my south Louisiana “muzzleloader”. Two hundred yards and in, it pole axes the deer. 2.5” high at 100y, 0 at 200y, 4.5” low at 250y....
Please post some pics for us to drool over, Merry Christmas!

Found this old 1st gen 760 in 35 Remington online and bought it today.

Lucked out as it is still all original, does show a bit of use (nothing serious), but no extra holes. Comes with 2 properly marked mags to boot.

Damn! What a score!

Wow awesome rifle!

An Elmer Fudd plaid hat with the ear flaps, and a ratty pair of Snowmobile boots, and a pot gut, and you'll be the stereotype upper midwest, or Pennsylvania deer hunter!!!

I have that article in a large compilation book called "Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges".

Here are the loads he listed for both reg 35 Remington and Super 35 loads. The super 200gr loads are quite a bit faster than the lever safe loads.

Thanks .... I was quite happy to find that one. I cannot believe the going price for 760/7600s these days, even in 30-06. This one was not cheap but priced fairly. Getting two properly stamped mags was a nice bonus and sealed the deal.

I have a nice 141 here, but my older eyes are not working well with the tang sight. I'll scope this one and fix that problem.

Nice score! I have a 760 and a 141 in the safe. My boy wants to shoot a deer with the 760 so I guess I will use the 141. Been a while since either one has seen the field, should be fun.

Thanks Supercub for helping keeping these loads alive. Unfortunately alot of these powders are no longer in production, but it goes to show what can be done with the 35 Remington in a stronger action like the 760. If one were to carefully cross examine and do a little interpolation work it would be possible to make a similar list with newer powders

I'm not sure what you're talking about. It looks like all except 4320 remain in production.

N-202? Um nope. Never heard of it nor do I recall seeing it for sale. And the point is that this data set can be used to derive a new data set with the newer powders. Provided newer data sets still have the old favorites like Win 748 and H335 in the same sections. This would be a project for a true reloading loony while being loosely supervised by a rifle loony

And he lists a newer powder like H4895 in the regular section, but didn't include it in the super section..bummer. Thus no "extreme" powders for temp insensitivity are represented as well as Accurate and Ramshot powders. I've heard good things about Exterminator and Benchmark in the 35 Rem. Maybe Layne can still be tapped to update this list. Provided the liability experts don't find out

Anyone use a 308 mag in these 760s instead of a proper 35Remington mag?

The good thing is Leverevolution will get those super speeds and do it at Matlin pressures. It’s fine stuff in the 35 Remington. And usually very accurate for me as well.

I wound up with my mom's Rem 760 Gamemaster in 270Win. It's got fancy checkering and is in great shape. It's got checkering like this pic below. Any ideas what it's worth? Sadly, I know I'll never use it.

Although I'm not an official Remington fanboy, I do like my Rem 760 in 30-06. I bought it in Germany of all places and kilt my first wild boars with it. I would love one in 35 Rem even though I don't need it. I have a Win M70 FW in 35 Rem that shoots exceedingly well with LVR. I have found no need for SUPER loads but that's probably because I also have a 358 Win and 35 Whelen.

Prices are all over for them JG. I’d guess from 600-1200 depending on the buyer. Looks clean and well maintained. Bet it’ll shoot. I’ve got one myself just not as nice.



Had mine chopped to 20” and it loves 150 PTs.

20" is perfect for those rifles.

Saying that, I would not chop a 760 in 35Remington or other rare chamberings.

The 760s and 742s with the basketweave
" checkering " were called BDLs by Remington.
I've had a couple of the 742s like that.
Not sure if it affects the value or not

I agree. It's one of my favorites.

I would love to have a 760 in 35 but can’t afford them.

I wish I could see LVR get close to those SUPER velocities in 35 rem. My data only goes up to around 2200 compressed. TAC had some hot loads but the pressure was higher than LVR.
That H335 is 6 grains above max load. That has got to be pushing mid 40k's in pressure with velocity that's stomping on 356 and 358 light territory.

2400fps out of a 20" 35 Rem light weight lever gun would be golden

It took a few tries and some file work, but I finally got one to work.

Thanks ... I'd rather use a 308 mag if I can instead of wearing on a 35Rem mag that I am not able to replace.

Understand, when I mention a few tries, that meant I had to try several different magazines before I got one that would work right.

The more I use a 760, the more I realize how overrated they truly are.

LOL .... Those who like the 760/7600s really do like them a lot and those that don't really don't. Not much middle ground on that and largely it depends on where you hunt. They're not that popular out west where the bolt gun rules. Here in the east they do work very well for our hunting and are a dependable alternative to the problematic 740/742/7400s.

I've owned one or more for almost 40 years, and while I do shoot bolt guns more now I do very much like the pump guns. They are accurate, dependable and handle well while being easy to load for. They will take a surprisingly heavy load compared to a lever gun. I've never had any serious issues with any that I've owned. The two big issues with them are the mags will wear out and fail to seat properly in the gun and the forends will rattle. The forend rattle is easy to fix on the 2nd gen 760s with a new O-ring and the mags have been very easy to replace.

The pump rifles never caught on around here like the 742’s did years ago. Later years when I was able to be around them and shoot them I rank them a lot higher than a lever action but we all know how popular the lever guns are.

Saw a very late model 760 in 35 Rem at a gun show this morning. It was in almost new condition. Never been scoped, extra mag - marked 35 Rem. Guy had it on a table and was asking $1500 for it, and did sell it. For how much I don't know, but I saw it walk out the door.

If it was in that sorta condition I can bet it went for about that. Those suckers are getting expensive!

It's not so much where you hunt, it's about functionality, and the 760's fail in those regards. I guess if I lived in a place where I shot one deer every 10 years, I'd never notice.

Overall dependability is one of the features most noted for the 760s. It's too bad you weren't able to get one to work for you.

No issues with the 760's here. Both shoot great, and they don't rattle either.

Ok, but experience trumps F&S articles.

You had alot of troubles with 760/7600's working well for you?

I got to scoping that 760 today and giving it a once over.

I noticed that the mags (both marked 35Rem) had different followers and spacers and got out some other 308 mags and found that the one 35 mag has the same follower as a 308 mag.

The mag on the left is the 308 mag. Two on right are 35Remington. Can anyone confirm what their 35Rem mag followers look like?

How much experience do I need to be credible, Dave? ...... Good call out, BTW.

Here is a list of the 760/7600s I've owned over the last 35years or more as best as I can remember without embellishment. I hand loaded for them all.

223 - 1
223 (7615) - 1
270 - 1
308 - 4
30-06 - 7
35 Remington - 3
35 Whelen - 8
358 Winchester - 1 (rechambered from 35 Remington)

Ya ... Not buying it.

I've had 760s/7600s

.270(2)
30-06(2)
.300sav (3)

And I've used a friend's .243 as well.


And never had an issue.

And I shoot more than once every ten years.

I've used them in Wyoming. I've used them in PA.

I've used them on deer, bear and antelope.

Shots from a few feet to nearly 500 yards.

Hand loads. Factory loads.

Reliability is not a concern.

And to be honest I'm not that big of a fan of them. At this point I have one .30-06 7600 and one. 300 sav 760. I'll add a .35WL if I ever come across a decent deal on one. But they're far from my favorite rifle. But it's not because of reliability.

The 760 mags are all the same box. The difference is the followers and the spacer blocks used in short action calibers. If you look at the photos above you can see the spacer blocks. If you can find followers for te 35 Rem you can use any of the short action cartridge mags.
And I recall that the magazines for the 742 will work as well but I don't think they made those in 35 Rem.

The mag boxes are the same but there are some dimensional differences between the feed rails on top of the 308 and 35R boxes. The 308 boxes will not fit into the 35Rem rifle without forcing it. While I have not tried it yet, I think that some tweaking on the rails on the 308 box may allow it to fit.

Both the 35Rem mags in the pic will properly feed ammo into the rifle so the different follower doesn't seem to be a problem.

Short or long doesn't make much of a difference. The 760/7600 mags suck. I had a .35 Rem that wouldn't feed for squat with the .35 Rem marked mag. I put in a 30-06 and tried it...fed flawlessly. Tried a .270, flawless, tried a .308/243/7-08....yep, flawless. Not one of them looked the same. If you have trouble with your gun feeding, bet your wife's paycheck it's the mag.

I have (1) 7mm-08 mag (perhaps for limited edition of 7600?), and (2) 35 Remington magazines. Both 35 rem mags look like the center mag in Supercubs photo. The 7mm-08 mag looks like the mag on the left. The magazine on the right is foreign to anything in my collection.

Thank you for that. I suspect the mag on the right is an older 35R mag and they changed the configuration to more like yours later.

It took me about 45 years of hunting in PA with dozens of different rifles - bolts primarily but pumps and levers also to figure out that for still hunting and/or tracking whitetails (or any woodland creatures) I personally think the 760/7600 can’t be beat for shots on running animals. Many other rifles I have handle better, are lighter, etc….but for quick on target shots I can’t shoot any faster with the other types. This year I had a buck spot me while still hunting and take off - the first shot hit him (a little further back than I wanted) and I had to shoot very quickly to get him down before he disappeared - the next shot was rushed (missed) and the third shot hit him in the spine. Those three shots were likely about 5 seconds apart considering the relatively short distance he covered - any longer and I would have had a tracking job on hand. I really don’t think I could have done that with a bolt or lever. Ideally if given time for a shot it really doesn’t matter but I was glad I had a 760.

I have them in .222, 6mm, .257 Roberts, .270 Winchester, .280 Remington, .30-06 .35 Remington (same year as the OP) and .358 Winchester. This year’s buck was with the .257 Roberts but I mostly hunt with the .35s. I have never had a problem with one but like most rifles I’m sure they have issues and have seen very dirty ones/well used have some functioning problems.

I don't have any 35 Rem mags but that one on the right looks exactly like the 300 Savage mag I recently picked up.

Well.
I tried the 200 grain Core Lokts over 45 grains of Hodgdon LVR, Winchester brass and primers, 2.495 o.a.l.
Velocity 2284 fps! Factory 200gr Leverevolutions clock at 2185...
Accuracy is SUPERB! Have gotten a number of inch or less groups at 100 yards. Larger than an inch and a half for three is rare.
I found a n.i.b. 1978, J prefix, Leupold M8 4x and put it in a standard base and rings.
Recoil isn't terrible, but you KNOW you pulled the trigger.

I chased accuracy with three different 35 Rem rifles using that same "Super" data. I wasted alot of powder, bullets, and primers. Standard data has produced exceptional in all of them. Buy a 356/358 if you need more horsepower. You'll thank me later.

I've had good accuracy results with my cast Saeco #352 which drops a 245gr FP gas-checked design. It's an excellent bullet for the Whelen, but I also tried it in the 760 35 Remington. Motivation provided by 38.0grs of IMR-4895 and they clocked 2100fps. I've also shot 250gr Hornady RN Interlocks, but that's a tougher bullet and I didn't try for more than 2050fps. I just wanted to see if 2000fps was possible with a 250gr in the Rem. Yep it is, and maybe a bit more with something like LVR, but it's not on the radar for further consideration.

Like you I'll opt for another chambering if more HP is necessary. Lately I've enjoyed load development for a 9.3x57mm mauser. That shoves a 286gr at the same speed as a standard 35 Remington and 200's.

My 35 Whelen loves that Saeco #352 with SR4759!

This might also be fun in that 360 Buckhammer of yours..try the Saeco out and let me know..

I asked Mike Bellm to give me a somewhat generous throat. Maybe I'll get lucky and that Saeco will chamber.

I saw a 35 rem 760 the other day for sale in a gun shop.. came with 2 mags.

Anyone interested get ahold of me

How much are they asking for it?

If I remember right 689.00
.came with 2 mags

Love them. This is the one I use, a 1979 35 Rem. Shoots under an inch routinely with 200 Rem RNCL's and a stout load of H4895. Runs 2325-2350. Picked it up late summer 2020 for a steal, out of a shop no less. Killed 2 buck and a doe with it so far. Didn't kill a buck with it last yr as that honor went to my Dad's M71 348. That 35 Rem would be in a handful of rifles I wouldn't sell.




Liked it so well I picked up a second one that is also a 1979. That one sits in the safe, didn't shoot it yet don't know that I will. Top notch condition with nice wood. Paid almost double what I paid for the first one, but thought it was still a good buy so home it came.

ST, that’s a dandy 35!
