What groups might a Rem 760 achieve?

LMAO......With who behind it?
Paper targets are one thing, but I've outshot many a bolt gun shooter on a running deer target.Bring your Rem 770,with Bell optics to the next running deer shoot, and we will see how you fair out

Now their more accurate but not on paper. On moving deer silhouettes instead. And when that can't be proven to suit you (and it can't be) what venue will you have to move to then? Overall bolt guns are more accurate/consistent. Get it through your head. The question wasn't which has better follow up. I know bolts don't. The question was regarding accuracy of the gun itself. Did you not get that?:rolleyes:Can we get a emoticon for a yawn?
 
No, the original posters question was what kind of accuracy should he expect from a Rem Model 760! I believe Captonion has given and shown some of his results.

You have yet to say what kind of groups you have shot with a Rem Model 760?

So how about you either add some constructive info or put down the smoldering pipe and slowly push yourself away from the keyboard!!:onCrack:
 
if you take a similar quality bolt action and compare it to the 760/7600 you will find that they are egual in the accuracy department.you cannot compare a 5-700 dollar pump to a 1000 + dollar bolt action.i have been shooting a 7600 for over 20 years and have shot MOA 3 and 5 shot groups with it and with factory ammo.you might have to frig around with different bullet weights and make to find one your rifle likes.my rifle shoots best with 165-168 grain stuff were as my brothers 7600 shoots the 150 grain remington core-lok better than anything else.
 
So, if pump rifles are "just as accurate as bolt guns" why has every comp shooter I've ever seen use a bolt gun?

Not saying pump guns aren't accurate, I'm just saying bolt guns are MORE accurate....

Where's all the .25 MOA 5 shot groups with pump rifles? Where's the sniper teams using pump rifles? Jeez, I wonder why it is that most rifles that are built specifically for accuracy, are bolt guns? I guess the major gun manufactures just never tried using pump rifles, they must just be that stupid and ignorant lol... (Or they did, and through testing found bolt guns more accurate.)

EDIT: and about the $$ comparison. Why don't more people dump money into their pump rifles then? There are lots of rich, pump rifle loving, competition shooters out there (at least a few lol) - Where's all the done-up, balls to the walls, pump rifles that could shoot the #### off a fly @ 300 yards? Why have I never seen these? Why do people default to bolt guns instead? Maybe, it's because when your talking about thousands of an inch, and thousands of dollars invested, bolt guns are just more accurate in the long run?

So, what kind of groups have you shot with a Model 760 Rem Pump?

Well I had a Kimber 84M Select Grade in 7mm-08 that cost me over double what I paid for my 7600 in 25-06, and I couldn't get it to shoot worth $hit.That was the biggest disapointment I ever had in a rifle.
 
most of your major competition shooters do indeed shoot bolt guns.but they have invested a whole lot more than the average hunter.how many of these shooters drag their super tricked out sniper/target rifles out into the woods/swamps and fields to hunt with?NONE.they all have less expensive rifles they use for that.and some of them also might use a pump or a lever for this purpose.and some rifles just will not shoot,and it doesn't matter if it is a bolt,pump,lever or semi.

It doesn't matter what I've shot with any rifle. Less moving parts = more potential for accuracy. To a hunter it shouldn't matter, but to claim pump guns are just as accurate, doesn't make sense. Again, there is a reason the pro's use bolt guns.....

Original Question.

Not ...Pump Vs Bolt Gun...Its not a pissin match.

If you read the whole thread you will see that no one with any common sense thinks pumps could compete with a bolt action. Its more about the general and often surprising to some, accuracy of rem pumps.

Plus they are a mans gun. :D

I completely agree. I even said pump rifles can be damn accurate, some are probably sub MOA even. My point was that all things equal, bolt is MORE accurate.

I hate when people refer to others as pro's. Just because they do alot of somthing doesn't mean everyone should try to kiss their ass and worship everything they say. I poop alot, would anyone like to qualify me as a pro?

Well I'm sorry you hate it when professionals of a given trade are called professionals, but that sounds like a personal problem.

No one is kissing anyones ass, but the best shooters in the world use bolt guns. Does it not make sense to assume the best shooters in the world might have some insight into what is accurate? Nah, right? lol
 
The OP didn't ask which was more accurate, bolt or pump. He asked what kind of accuracy should he expect. I and a lot of others replied, as good as many bolt guns. That's not a lie or an exaggeration. Just because a rifle has a bolt action doesn't make it a tackdriver same as a pump doesn't mean it's inaccurate.

I agree. Pumps are not by default, inaccurate. And bolts are not by default, accurate. But the accuracy potential between the 2 isn't really debatable.

And yes, you're right the original question wasn't about which was more accurate, but the comments that followed brought this to a head. The statement that pump guns CAN be as accurate as bolt guns isn't entirely true. There is certainly overlap in the performance of the 2, but like I stated in a previous post - all things equal, (e.g. money spent, optics, upgrades etc.) you can expect more accuracy out of a bolt gun due to less moving parts.

No one is saying pump guns suck, or are inaccurate in any way shape or form. I am merely responding to the comments about pump guns (when all is equal) being AS accurate as bolt guns. Common sense says otherwise.
 
Nobody with any sense at all would claim pumps are as accurate as bolts in general. The bolt has a one piece stock, better bedding of wood to metal, a stiffer action and usually a superior trigger. Maybe some guys just get bored and like to stir the pot a little?

Honestly Mike, I wasn't trying to stir the pot! And your first sentence is all I was saying....

A deer doesn't care if you hit 1/4 inch high/low/left/right....

My most accurate rifle is a .300 win mag single shot, TC encore pro hunter.... so I have lots of love for non-bolt guns. I also love my model 7 .243 and 8/10 times the performance is pretty much equal, but for whatever reason 2/10 usually go to the TC.....
