Pump rifle

I have a Remington pump in .308 that is stupid accurate with 180gr corelocks. I did replace the terrible factory trigger though.

From skimming through much of the posts, I find the positional shooting thing a bit funny. Sure it’s not a design that’s optimized like a rokstok, but you can still train for it. Just need to learn to work around the quirks. Its real value comes out in the thick timber of the east and north, where jump shots and follow ups are not unusual. Additionally in the NE, you cannot hunt deer with semi autos in some states, which no doubt increased the popularity.

All this said, OP if you buy one, be ensure the tube that tensions the barrel is tight, that part loosening is often the cause of bad accuracy.

Also as a testament to accuracy, I’ve attached a three shot group that is not unusual out of my example in 270. Master the trigger creep and they shoot, even took it out to 400 yds lol

I cut and threaded my 7600 30-06 to 18 inch, added a timney trigger kit, Limbsaver Airtech and Maven 2-10. The 3lb trigger still has lots of creep. I hunt suppressed and the gun went from 2-3 inch MOA to .5 inch and is super handy. Still or stand hunting nothing compares to it for staying on target and follow up shots. Purchased new in 1985 i will never sell it.

You got a picture of that supressed 7600? I'm up in Norther NH in the heart of deer tracking country. They indeed have a cult following in this area. I'm the pariah in the area with a cut down, 5lb Kimber Hunter, although all be adding my grandpa's savage 99 to the collection soon.
