3rd of 3 Questions on old Remingtons

#3)



This 760 has been impossible to find much information on let alone trying to place a value or track down a modern day Remington historian.
It has a date code of -AN- so made March of 1966 and is in very good conditio

What makes this rare is it is chambered in .222 Rem, now Nuts will know that the .222 & .223 are highly sought by collectors with small production runs starting in the late '50s with 3106 .222s made from '57 to early '58. So stumbling onto either for sale is a rarity as its anyone's guess how many made it up here.

This one made in 1966-Serial #460990 was 1 of 200 made for the International Running deer matches and as author Gene Myszkowski said in his book on collecting 760's he had never seen one. I have sent a few emails to prominent GS's down south like Steve Barnett and others but have not responded. Just wanted to gather info, not interested in selling south!
So any one seen one or have any further info to enlighten me with, or who to get in touch with for more info?

I saw one for sale at Robinson's Sporting Goods in Victoria in the 80's. I think it was in the $400 range...

I saw one for sale on the internet (either CGN or HBC) about 10 years ago. I don't remember the price.

Pretty rare bird...

A quick internet search - found on Townpost -3 for sale - one is posted at $450 One at $900 and the last $1200 with a scope. You can also look online for the book - Gun Value -

They were made from 1951 to 1981. I doupt it has any collector value and lots of interest for it.
This being said - yours is looking in good condition.

Hunting centerfire semi auto are not very popular. Usually they end up with problems because of lack of cleaning and maintenance. The early model like the 760 were not very friendly with harsh hunting conditions - like very cold and snow.

It's not the Model 760 that is rare or unusual, I have lots of 760's from .222 to 35Rem. Now try to find a .222 in the older corn cob fore-end for sale of which 3106 were made or this 1966 version of which only 200 were ever made.
Not that interested in selling now, more of a history search on this and other 2 I posted about.

The 760 is a pump action , not a semi auto... and quite popular for hunting and surprisingly accurate and reliable ... your comments are more accurate about the old 740 (a semi auto)

I think struff55 is correct. More demand in US but we have some people here not afraid to step up for a collectable.
