Looks like a 100 yard brush gun for deer.
Any experience?
Also how would you scope it?
Thanks

It's good to trade to me for one of several rifles of your choice. Seriously if you would be interested in trading for something pm me.

They are worthless, better sell it to me cheap.

I think they are unique in that you can use it as a great woods gun...in a bolt action. If your an aficionado of the 35 Rem (who isn’t) then you are limited to pumps and levers. You could go the bolt route with a 338 Fed, 358 W-W, or even a 308...but it doesn’t have the pizazz of the 35 Rem. .02

It is an awesome woods rifle for black bear and white tail deer in the New England states.

Deer in the woods for one

It’s a great deer round. I killed a bunch of deer with mine, and I was easily good to about 150 yards. Tried to go with iron sights for a while, but finally went with a 4 power scope. My 270 can’t kill deer any deader than the 35 did.

Darn ya'll I had the same idea. I don't know why I like that cartridge so much , I just do.

x2. I used a Marlin 35 Rem in NY state and Maine for several years

NO ! NO ! not worthless. They make good Tomato Stakes !

As has been said..... Great Woods Rifle and cartridge. I like em better than the 30-30 simply because you
start out with a BIGGER hole.

Jerry

Considering the majority of big game are taken at 200 yards or less, I’d say it’s good for the majority of big game hunting in North America, and much of the rest of the world.

A Marlin 336 is a better woods rifle than a Model 7. Woods rifles are often called to shoot offhand and a model 7 has piss poor balance {muzzle light} for offhand shots.

............and neither is the match for a 7600 carbine, but it's all a matter of taste.
Before too long, I'll have 2/3 to compare.

George

I had a 760 .30-06 carbine and a 7600 rifle., they're gone now but I still have my 336 and it ain't going anywhere. No plastic ejection port cover on the 336, no rubber o rings in the forearm and no forearm wobble. The full length under barrel mag tube on the 336 lends weight where it's needed for steady offhand shooting, particularly when fully loaded. The 7600 .30-06 carbine I had was deafening and produced a muzzle flash that would leave you temporarily blinded when shooting in a dark woods at dusk. No thanks, you can have my share of 7600 carbines. I don't want plastic and rubber parts in my rifles. I'm also not as impressed with the .35 as many seem to be. I've had several 336's over the years in both .35 Rem. and .30-30. The .30-30's are still here and the .35's are gone. Never could see where they were the least bit more effective than the .30-30 yet ammo/brass is harder to find and costs considerably more, it's trajectory is much more arched if you need to shoot past 150 yards and it was never as accurate for me as the .30-30. The .30-30 and .35 are contemporaries. The .30-30 being introduced in 1895 and the .35 just a few years later in 1908. If the .35 had any clear advantage, the .30-30 wouldn't have out sold it 100 to 1.

So have you shot a .35 Remington 760/7600?

They are mild mannered and hammer deer under 150.

Boom and not roar.

Fast to get another shot (trigger hand doesn't move).

Detachable mag too.

They are a freakin magic wand in the deer woods.

No but I have killed a number of deer with a 760 carbine and 7600 rifle in .30-06. I have also killed a number of deer with a 336 in .35 Rem.. I know what the .35 is like and does and I know what a 760/7600 is like and does. Like I said, I wasn't overly impressed by either. I sure as hell don't want a model 7 in any caliber for my woods rifle.

The combination of the two is simply a better woods rifle than the 336.

Absolute horse shyt. Like I said before, the .35 Remington cartridge never impressed me and neither did the 760. I never did see that the .35 did a damn thing the .30-30 didn't do inside 150 yards except cost more to shoot and past 150 the .30-30 is better. If the 760 in .35 were really "magic" they would have sold like hot cakes and they'd still be making them.

No, it's not.

Was looking at this rifle for a one and done battery. Checks a lot of boxes for me but in Wisconsin some longer shots present themselves.

5 days to ponder

I have much experience that says otherwise.

Nice gun. If I were in the market for a .35 Remington, that would be a strong contender.

And?
There's just as much experience that counters yours.
As stated earlier, it's subjective and arguing 'better' is ridiculous.
(yes, I've been doing the same, to illustrate the pointlessness)

Not from you there's not. You've read too many magazine articles. Many of those articles ballyhooing the superiority of the .35 were written by the same people who for years told us the .22 centerfires were not effective deer rifles. Obviously written with little experience and much conjecture on both subjects.

Did Remington actually chamber the m7 in 35rem?? Seems.....strange.



Ain't no way in heck I'd go for that one. Buy a m7 in a 308 based case. Send it to JES and tell him to send it back when it's a 358win. If you don't like the recoil, load her a little milder. It'd be much cheaper than that one...that starting bid is.....steel!. And the 358win will do everything the 35rem does...plus.

Load it up w pointy bullets.

A 12 year old.

I have never cared for the feel or look of the Marlin or Win lever guns.
And .30-30 is an ugly cartridge.

The 35 rem looks cool, the 760/7600 fit me and feel good.

The cartridge is mild mannered.........appreciate that more as I get older.
Under 150 yards I think a Rem pump in .35 rem checks all the boxes.

The Model 7 would be a sweetheart, if one prefers a bolt action.
They did it in the KS (Custom shop) and may have done a small run of stainless in reg synth.
Aldo the full stock laminate from the Custom shop.

Too bad Rem didn't do a stainless 7600 in .35 rem.
All weather timber deer rifle for sure.

I’ve never used the 35 Remington on game, but I can confirm that the Model 7 is among the worst-balanced rifles I’ve ever owned. FAR too light up front, so the muzzle floats in offhand and the faster you go, the worse it gets. No rifle is light enough to make up for that.

But the idea of a 35 Remington bolt gun is interesting. I’d tell the gunsmith to make it balance at the front action screw for offhand shooting, which would probably mean a 22” barrel. I’d also scope it with a 2.5x Leupold in the lightest rings and bases I could find.

Even with pointed bullets it would probably weigh as much as a Kimber Montana and be a lot less capable overall. It would also probably cost twice as much.


Okie John

Not all M7's are too light up front. They chambered them in the short mag cartridges for a few years . Those had a 22" magnum contour that was just right. The balance might even be better than the 24" sporter barrel on a 700. I have one of those in 7 SAUM and it is quite handy.

jeeper

Every M 7 that I handled felt like a short baseball bat. I never bought 1 because of it.

Jerry

It’s a ks so it should have a 20” barrel with a little more heft. Might still feel like a baseball bat ...

I built one for alot less money than the one listed on GB. It was sold earlier this year to fund a Model 70 Featherweight 35 Rem project. I should have it done by Christmas.

Thanks, Dinny

I obviously have a terrible sense of balance. I love the way my stainless 20” barrel 7/08 handles. Points well for me and the muzzle changes direction quickly+ if required. Latest firsthand evidence is a rut crazed buck from last year that chased a doe thru the shadow of my ladder stand. When I banged the rifle against the roof support both hit the afterburners. Still I managed to change direction with my swing when he changed direction at full gallop and catch up to him going away, down, and right. As the heavy crosshairs passed his shoulder at about 20 yds I hit the trigger and he tumbled. Smooth. I just don’t get the bad balance thing. It’s a Bubba thang I suppose.

Hello Bubba.

I keep hearing this and have to say it is BS. Yes when they were all wood stocked and had the thin 18 inch barrels this was true. With the current synthetic stocks they balance just fine with the 18 inch barrels and perfectly with the 20 inch barrels. I like the Marlins and I presently own 2 but both are heavier than my model 7 7-08 and certainly balance no better.

Funny post baseball bats handle preety good!

Did U miss ... short bat ?

Gosh does it even matter in Texas ? I mean I keep hearing it's impossible to still hunt or track there and there aren't any woods you can walk through to do it in if you wanted to. Any rifle will work from a stand or blind with a rest.

It was funny.

The 7mm SAUM M7 I have is not in it's factory stock and it balances just fine. Balance point is at the recoil lug.

You 2 missed the short BUS !

Everyone doesn't have the same taste or FEEL !

No I got it and I agree with you. LOL

You must be a low info voter. You absolutely know nothing of Texas or Model Seven rifles.

Well I hear a lot of bullshyt excuses from Texans on why they have to sit in box blinds overlooking feeders rather than actually hunt all the fuggin time. "Too thick" , "too many thorns", blah, blah, blah. LMAO.

PS. Model 7's suck and only a low information rifleman/hunter would use one.

So which one of you gun heads just one the Remington Model Seven in 35 REM on GUNBROKER just now?

2300 bucks is a lot of coin for a rifle with not much custom.

If ya want it and have the money....so be it.
Maybe somebody needed it as a specific gift, or was replacing one that was lost in a fire or sumpthin.

Crazy it went way high!

To each, his own I guess...
My bud in Richfield said Cabelas has one.

https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/100878248

Oh, [bleep].

That is a rare little rifle but me personally would probably just have our local smithy build one and. I it wouldn't be the factory gun but would be exactly what I would want for way less money. But again to each his own. Congrats to the owner on a very nice and rare little rifle

Jeepers is on the money here my M7 ss 7 SAUM and M7 Predator both have 22" med weight barrels they balance and handle fine. MB

Had a rifle that was muzzle light.
Added epoxy w 8 shot in the forend, made it perfect.
No big deal.
Was a reg synth stock w hollows.

For all those people that commit on Remington Model 7----- Short baseball Bat unbalanced POS and wouldn't own one. Many a hunter here in the Northeast love them. 18" to 20" pipe lightweight. unbalanced for shooting bucks at 50 yds.? Walk into a guns shop and see how many are used for sale on the racks. ----- A hunting rifle is a tool that one uses to do a certain job. Some are supermodels made to admire. Tack hammers and sledge hammers serve their purpose. Model 7-- light weight mountain climbing --thick woods 50 yd buck killer----- my opinion---- Web

At cabelas that 350 Remington magnum sold gun library guy said they’ve had 20 calls in last 2 days

The best way to get improved handling would be to get one of the old 1st gen Model Sevens and have it re-tubed with a 20" in a slightly heavier contour. Put the sights back on it and have it blued.

That would be one cherry rifle.

That would be sweet

Not much of an endorsement. I worked behind the counter of a Northeast gun shop for years and can tell you for a fact the vast majority of Northeast hunters don't know jack about rifles and can't shoot for shyt with anything. They haven't a clue whether the rifle they use is well balanced, well suited to the hunting they do or whether they might be able to do better with something else.

Wow, that 350RM was priced cheap

Well, straight from the horses ass (mouth).

deleted

LOL ...... You would would pick a 336 over a 760/7600 and all the advantages they offer over the lever?

Working behind the counter selling hamburgers does not make you an expert at beef. --- It's just my opinion about a Model 7- I've picked up a few barrel heavy rifles to find them awkward to handle . The model 7 .308 and 7-08 I own fit me like a glove. Balance never has crossed my mind with a model 7. Can you give me the make and model of your rifles so I can pick them up to feel the difference. Bottom line Blackheart----- I'll bet the ranch that If you owned an older model 7 .308 and you were only allowed the use that rifle to deer hunt. You would go out and kill deer with it

Following.

Ive been debating about selling my 600 in 35 rem because I have too many rifles

Its a handy little carrbine and hornady LE rounds make it shoot 200 plus yards.

Even with the carbine barrel.

I suspect the 7 has a longer barrel which makes it a tad better,

I've already done the great purge - my 600 was never in any danger.

I would have never owned an older model 7 because I handled them and could feel that they were butt heavy/barrel light, the worst balance ever for shooting off hand. And working behind the counter at a gun shop absolutely does show you that the knowledge level of most shooters/hunters is extremely limited.

What advantage is that ? Keeping in mind we are supposed to be talking .35 Rem. here of course, which cancels any perceived advantages in chambering options.

I have to agree on things you hear in a gun shop will make your head spin

Something you really need to consider here is the fact that the one shown on gunbroker is in a Brown Precision stock. There is a world of difference in the balance of one in that stock (or an Edge or Bansner) vs a factory synthetic or laminate. It changes dramatically...completely different rifle.

That could be. I've never handled one in a BP stock.

It was you that brought in the 30-06 into this discussion, was it not?

Since you want to go back to the the 35Remington, the following in a 760 would offer much advantage over a 336.

- Pointy bullets.
- Higher pressures
- Removeable magazine
- Better accuracy

As for the plastic cover on the ejection port, I've had no trouble with any of the many pump guns I've owned in the past. I'm sorry you couldn't manage that one small detail along with the o-ring.

You’re probably right about NY hunters, but that’s not the Northeast.

Better accuracy is bullshyt. Both of my current 336's are solid, consistent MOA shooters. Neither my 760 carbine nor my 7600 was as accurate. Removable magazine is debatable depending on personal preference. Higher pressures, maybe but that is of no consequence in a woods rifle. The .35 can safely be loaded to higher than book pressures in a 336 too. After all the 336 action is chambered in .444 Marlin at 44KPSI vs 33KPSI for the .35 Rem. Pointy bullets are not needed in a woods rifle either but if you feel you must for some reason the Hornady gummy tips work fine in the 336. More importantly it is easier and safer to put a really good trigger on a 336 than a 760 and a good trigger is paramount to precise off hand shooting. Oh and I only brought the .30-06 into this discussion because that's what my 760 and 7600 were chambered in.

It's the same all over. We got tards from VT, NH, MA and CT in our shop every year. In fact we have a camp full of them on the other side of the mountain out back here.

You asked for advantages and I listed four valid ones. No amount of your rubber weasel words can discount what I said. Guess again.

There's no advantage to a rifle if you don't like it. PA has always been pump central. Yet I've always had a lot of guys tell me they could just never cotton to them. I recently sold my last 760 yet I still have a couple 336's. Both styles work for me but if I'm using a high power cartridge I want it in a bolt action anymore

I don’t have any 336s, but I still have an 1895 and a BLR in the safe.
Preference, for me, leans to a 7600 and, more specifically, a 7600 carbine. I can get a quicker/more accurate subsequent round with the pump. That’s not conjecture, I’ve proven it (for me) at running deer shoots at local ranges.
I’ve also never experienced the dreaded rattle, but maybe that’s just luck.
Again, there is no ‘better’...........just better for individuals.

Back to the orig. ? Brian----- yup good 100yd. woods gun. Both my Model 7's and my older 700 mountain .308 wears Leupold compact 3x9 ---- If I remember right 11.5 oz scopes--------- Web

The pump is faster but with the lever the second shot is right there if I need it and that's fast enough

A 35 Remington is "good for" deer bear and even elk in close if you use correct bullets. It's good for the use of a rifle. It's good for killing deer where you live. And it's VERY good if you like the rifle.

I have a 35 Remington, in a Remington 141 pump and just 2 weeks ago I killed a deer with it at 181 yards with a peep sight. Bang-flop.
A bolt action 35 Remington should be quite accurate. So I see no down side to it. Sure, it's a close range round. So what?! I just proved it's 100% fine out to at least 181 yards.

When I was in my 20s I owned a Marlin 36 rifle in 35 Remington. I killed 7 deer in Nevada and Idaho with it, and my friend Greg killed a good sized bear with it too. All 1 shot kills.

Today we see nothing but praise for new guns and new cartridges and much of what we are told is statistically true, but it seems we forget
New and improved is often just new. The FACT that some of the older shells have more good kills, ranging over 100 year of success, and NOTHING new is going to make them any less effective than they ever were.

"New and improved" is often just new, but what worked for over 100 years will not stop working next 100 years. Improved is fine but improving how well a bullet flies has NOTHING to do with improving the skills of any hunter.

So if you have a Remington M7 in 35 Remington, GOOD FOR YOU!
Use it! Fill your freezer with venison and enjoy it.

I just procured one from a fellow NH 'Fire member.
My on!y 'problem' will be deciding which 35 to use on any given day.

You done gone off the 35 deep end NH K9, lol.

Laffin'
If it makes you feel better, I have committed to the BLR for opening week.

Truth

No guessing at all except on your part. Your advantages are not valid. I know these rifles inside out and know their strengths and weaknesses.

My 760/7600 didn't rattle either. The forearm is too far forward to allow for optimum grip in offhand shooting. The 760/7600 is always cocked when loaded and in battery. The safety only blocks the trigger, does not lock or block the hammer from falling and discharging a chambered round. Hence it is not as safe as the marlin to put a really good trigger pull on it as it may discharge if dropped or jarred. The Marlin is not cocked when carrying hot so you can safely cut the sear/full cock notch angles and sear engagement to a minimum for a better trigger pull. Quicker repeat fire can be done with the pump but if you need quick repeat fire in a still hunting/tracking rifle with any regularity you're doing it wrong. You should be seeing your deer before they detect you and taking them unaware with one shot most of the time. Of course if you only stand hunt in the woods one rifle works about as good as the next.

1. I'm not sure how you're built, but at 6' with a decent wingspan the foearm is perfect for me to carry and shoot offhand.
2. My carbine has an excellent trigger and I'm unconcerned about safety.
3. Given the deer herd in NH vs NY and my consistent ability to kill them here on my two feet, I'm not sure I need any hunting advice. My grandfather/dad/uncle taught me well. They also explained that bullets are cheap and to pay the insurance. That's probably why I haven't lost a deer in NH.........ever
4. I still-hunt and track 99% of the time here. Off course, we don't have deer around here that will let you drive an atv around them like you do in your area of NY apparently.

I'm sure you believe your way is better, I'm fact you're quite vocal about it in almost any thread you chime in on. Don't , for an instant, believe many of us can't do it as well.......or better

I don't know where you get the idea our deer are different than yours or that I drive an ATV around them.. I am the same height as you. Your comments shed doubt that you know how to hold a rifle for best accuracy off hand. Here's a hint. No competitor in any kind of off hand match extends their grip as far forward as the 760 requires. I know because I was one of those competitors myself for several years. One I might add, with the highest off hand average in the league and a couple state championships to my credit so I know a little about it. We do shoot a lot more deer here than you do there so maybe we have a bit more experience. I too have consistently killed deer by still hunting, tracking, driving and stand hunting. Never failed to fill my tags in over 40 years so my success has been pretty good. Your idea of a good trigger and mine are likely different.
