What to do with a Rem 7600

JES rebore to .35 Whelen seems to be the only logical option here.

Just putting out feelers as what to do with this thing for a possible down the road project. Its a 6 rem, and seeing as they don't make ammo for it anymore (I kid, kind of) what would you do with it? Would you do anything with it? Chop the barrel and buy some ammo and call it a day. I don't know much about the rem 7400/7600's are they reliable, problematic, do they have the same trigger problems the 700's have?

This is more of a what can you do with them as a build platform. Or is it just a waste of time and money?

I always find those small/fast calibers of 7600s interesting, they seem pretty common, but odd to me for a brush gun type rifle.

I have a 35 Whelen 7600 and I did get the trigger worked on, but it is a crazy creepy thing even though it is smooth and light. I can shoot it well especially given the recoil and it is accurate and will stand with a lot of bolt guns. I don't use it, but I will keep it forever, I just like it.

As someone who started hunting in a camp full of 760’s and 7600 I will say that they are a good, serviceable rifle for hunting up here in PA. If it was a 30-06 I’d say do what you want with it but the 6mm Rem is a much more valuable one and may be worth some money if you don’t have a sentimental attachment too it.

My Dad just got one redone, rifle was picked up cheap and rusty in 30-06 so he had it refinished and ran it a couple years until the barrel died. Now it has an 18” fluted and threaded barrel on it and will get its maiden season next year as a suppressed driving gun.

I seem to remember you talking about Gamechanger loads for your 6.5?

Sell it to me or another WKR. It's one of my bucket list guns.

What this gentleman says

i would think it would be a 1500-2000 dollar gun come fall. I have a 7600 in 30-06 that i can shoot sub moa and two 760s which i know one can shoot great. Its an odd caliber but with Remington not producing them they are high in price.

I have a 600 mohawk in 6mm Remington and it doesn't group worth crap, I think the twist isn't enough to get the modern load of 95 grains stabilized....I redid the stock and put a new trigger in it with it being am inherited gun.
