Whats a close to Mint Rem 760 CARBINE in .308 worth ? No box or papers
Worth more than a NIB 7600 Carbine in 30-06 ?
Any opinions out there?

I'm one picky bugger and this gun is 96% + I rate it down from 100% as it has no box,papers and it may have had 10 rounds out of it.
 
Its not worth more than a new 7600 it is worth around the $450-$550 mark . 760's have inherent issues that is why remington revamped the action and now they have 3 large locking lugs instead of 9 little one's.
 
At the range this week end a guy with a brand new 7600 shot fine until he try to cycle fast it jam if he cycle slow it was ok, fast it was jamming, myself i am suprise to see so many defective Remmy... JP.
 
Carbine in 308..MINT....Not a penny less than $500....I would say more($600+) because the 7600 is not offered in a Carbine 308.
 
You never seem to see the .308 CARBINE come up for sale on Gunnutz.
People hold onto them or you can't get alot of money out of them so people keep them?
You see 30-06 now and then but the .308 seems hard to come by.
Opinions?

**********************************************************What inherent issues are you talking about? What was the problem with the
9 lug 760 style? Not always is change for the better. Do you think if Remington could save a buck or two they would?
Any 760 experts out there? I never have read about any issues with the 760.
Anyone?

I believe the original poster is confusing the 740 with the 760. There are no inherent problems with the 760 or 76 or six or 7600's.
 
I have never heard of "inherent issues" with either the 760 or the 7600. If you baby them, they may jam. You have to treat them like you would a pump shotgun and work the action with enthusiasm. You won't break it - so pump it hard ... that didn't sound right, did it?

I would not consider a .308 760 to be worth more than a new 7600 in .30-06. Those 7600 carbines are dynamite! Accurate too. I chronied my 7600 carbine in .30-06 agains my 22" 7600 .30-06 and found that I was giving up less than 100 fps with 180 grain handloads. Almost not worth using the longer one.
 
I buy and sell a few guns around my part of the country. ;) And I swap a lot more than that too.

The guy that said the 760s have issues is confused.

A minty 760 carbine in .308 (wood stock, blued barrel, no extra holes, etc etc) will fetch about the same as, or slightly more than a used 7600 carbine, in Eastern Ontario, provided the right buyer is present. I do not think you would get more for the used 760 than a NIB 7600 (BUT!!! I have no idea what new rifles cost, I do not buy them.)

The gun would fetch between $500 and $600, and possibly more if a fellow really wanted it. If I put it on a table at a gun show it would be wearing a price tag of $650 so the buyer can talk me down. :rolleyes:

Well said Doug
Thanks!

Here is my 2 cents.
I would not pay more for a 760 in the same condition as a 7600. No issues, but in my opinion the 7600 locks up better. Like the guy said - slam 'em shut. You wont hurt it.

I would not pay more than $500 for any used Remington pump no matter how good it looks. There are lots of them out there and people want to sell them.

The last 760 (in 270win) I bought I paid $375...it was in 90% condition...about a box of shells through it - 1 mark on the stock thats it.
 
The Carbine(18.5") .308 is not as common Bigbubba and not available in a new 7600.

A nice one would sell pretty quick around $500.00 I'd say.

Agree 100%. $550 max for mint . Prior to 1980 the 308 carb was just a regular production gun, nothing special. Not really that rare in 308.
