Remington 760 new to me

[K9kodi]

Just got it from lgs.
Serial number shows made between 1975-1978.

Runs pretty smooth. Will be taking this scope off and going w something a bit more modern.

The scope says micro trac and is 3-9

Excited to take it to the woods this year.

It is the 30-06 flavor.

Nice. I’ve always wanted one of the Carbine versions from that same mid-late 70’s era. Preferably a 300 Savage or 35 Rem.

Scope looks like an old steel tube Weaver. Does it have a perfectly round field of view or is it oblong like a tv?

 

[Macintosh]

Yep, micro trac is an old weaver

 

[RiverRidge]

That’s a beauty! Big woods nostalgia.

Nice rifle! Weird to see one without the see thru mounts!

It’s round for sure. Pretty damn clear. Is there a market for them used?

No kiddding. I can’t stand those things.

The 22 I learned to shoot with that was my grandpa's is now mine and has those things. I swapped them out and realized why it has them, the bolt handle wont clear a scope without them.

 

[K9kodi]

Luckily I don’t have a boot handle. Most of the time if low mounts won’t clear a bolt handle guy can try mid, or you can try adjusting the scope backwards a little. The 22 shouldn’t have much recoil to negate when it comes to getting kissed by a scope

Define market. Lol. There's lots of people who like them when they want a set-up to be period correct. I see a lot listed on eBay for hundreds of dollars but who knows if they actually sell for that.

There's ways around it for sure, but I'm glad it didn't work out because I like it being the way that it is when I learned to shoot it 40+ years ago.

 

[K9kodi]

For sure, memories and nostalgia play a larger part at times than anything else. If you can drive it, have fun

Very nice, and just seeing the photo brings back good memories.

If I were you I'd list the scope on eBay as an auction, not a fixed price listing. The guys trying to sell vintage scopes there as a business, tend to sit on them for a long time between sales. I'd prefer to just move it and have the cash, myself.

The weaver micro-trac adjustment system was very well regarded back in the day. No clue how they'd compare to modern offerings.

 

[Half Nocked]

I had one of those and used it for a good long while, same flavor. Then I went down the “accuracy/long distance” rabbit hole. Still trying to find my way out of there lol

 

[K9kodi]

Yea I’m there with my 300. I just like nostalgic firearms. I try to use a rifle till I get a deer then switch rifles up
