From what I know the standard barrel length is 22" on a 760 30-06 and 18" on a Carbine.

Are there any other differences between the 2 variations ?

A 760 arrived in today's mail from an auction I won.

I had assumed it was a standard length rifle I had bid on, but a Carbine length has arrived.

After fees and taxes, I think I did OK on the $600 price as I believe all things being equal the Carbine is worth a few hundred more.
It also came with an extra magazine, case, Remington branded leather Cobra sling, and a cheap Barska Hunt Master 3-12x50

My main question is if there's any difference between the two models.

The forestock , if original, indicates it was definitely NOT made in 1986. But having said that,I think you did very well. I would myself like to own one.
 
Contact some gunsmithing shops. Probably have a rear sight assembly in a bin. Lots of these got removed when scopes were mounted. Should be less than $100.
Incidentally, you got yourself an excellent hunting rifle.

Should be a 18.5" barrel. There is a regular factory sight ramp that goes on the barrel and also a peep sight that mounts on the receiver. 1960 likely wasn't drilled and tapped from factory.

Ahhhh, the taste buds are salvitating.
Never had the need for one of these pumpy things.
SuperFuddlyCub is the expurt.

Cool score.

Gunrunner100 and his magic chapeau noire may be les Ami’s for the part missing.
Send him a note for the missing rear sight.
 
My buddies 760 30-06 carbine with 180 grain ammo has a velocity just under 2500 f/s... with factory Winchester ammo. He shoots it as fast as a semi.

Apparently there was a period in the 50's where some were
D & T and some were not, and by the 1960's all were.

In the Shooter's Bible for 1954, Remington makes a distinction between the 760A and the ADL in that the ADL has a "high comb stock for use with telescopic sights; receiver drilled and tapped for telescope mounts". Sounds like in the early days some were and some were not.
 
Sept of 1960 when it was born, one of 43,948 made up to 1980, so it's also a first year model as introduced in March/60.
I have 5 of the carbines 270, 280x2, 308 and 06 and still looking for the .35Rem Carbine but only 456 produced so highly unlikely
to ever find one in Canada.
 
Have been collecting the carbines for years now absolutely love them excellent rifles for back east here! I usually grab one of them before my Sakos and ect.

A gorgeous, scoped 760, Carbine in 35 Rem sold at auction last April for $2800 hammer price + $420 Auction fees = $3220 before taxes, so local in Ontario, it would have been $3638.60 before shipping if that would have been needed. So pretty much $3700 after all is said and done!

I've got a 1956, 760 rifle in 35 Rem that is butter smooth. They are just great deer rifles! You are going to love that rifle!!!!

Oops, just saw that he got banned. Oh well....

Mines a 308, stamped L J? 7, I think it's a J, stamp is really missing on the upper part of the J.
Excellent eastern deer gun. Mines D&Td

That said nothing wrong with the standard rifle, I mean what's 3"s :oops:
 
Condition is good? great price. USE- It is not a 1000 yard target gun. BUT for hunting and woods shooting the length is just fine. Ear plugs or muffs of some type may be a good idea.
