Pump rifle

[K9kodi]

I’ll give it a go. I mean really, I just bought the rifle, I didn’t build it . No slight to me if mine isn’t sub moa, based on how it feels shouldered, id say 1/4” moa at 500-700 haha

Folks,

Being initially from Maine the Remington pumps were pretty common there. My experience with them is that they are solid 1.5" guns or better. If you want a big hammer, find one 35 Whelen. The various professional gun sellers on the Internet should have some. Most common will be in 30-06 but that's not a problem.

I've hunted in a lot of places over the last 40 years. If I only had a 760 etc. in 30-06, I think I could be pretty happy hunting anything except DG.

Also, if you grew up shooting a pump shotgun you'll feel right at home with a 760.

I already got one. Very good condition 30-06 made between 1975-1978.. it came with a period correct steel weaver micro trac scope as well. I was getting ready to replace it but it just feels appropriate

@K9kodi if you decide to, the game reaper mounts are great

 

[K9kodi]

Are they by dnz?

 

[Halligan]

Yessir, very solid

I did replace the “see through” high mounts that appear to be the fad of the era and did infact purchase that exact mount and remount the weaver. I’m still considering selling it for a more modern one

We run either Leupold dovetail mounts or EGW rails on ours, several of the guys went to thumb hole stocks that have a longer LOP and needed the rail to get the scope back farther.

The EGW HD mount has been my go to lately. That way I know I can get some good rings on there and have flexibility with where the scope is. I am sure the older model 760 and 7600 without a monte carlo stock would cause issue similar to most lever rifles with a poor cheek weld, but the 7600 monte carlo stock makes that a nonissue.
