Move over Remington 760!

First time I've ever seen one of these:

 

[brybenn]

You can buy a lot of 760s for the price of one of these

 

[hammering hank]

Interesting indeed, not sure what to think of that i gotta watch it again

 

[stubblejumper]

I doubt that they will be very popular at that price.

 

[nomad 68]

Already a thread on them and I'd doubt Remington has anything to worry about.

That video assaulted my senses. Lots of nooks and crannies to invite dirt and grit.
True innovation or simply re-invention of the wheel?

 

[Hitzy]

A little too complex for my tastes. Too many push/pull/turn/slide/lock/unlock features, plus the action is a reverse pump which would just add one more thing to remember if a quick follow up is required.
Shows off the companies ingenuity but that's about it.

 

[Grouse Man]

Way too complicated. I can see if this was the very first pump action, and every other pump action after that was the refinement.

Other than declaring bankruptcy, which may happen soon.

Loading the mag is like docking to mothership. The gun acts like a python and dislocate its jaw to swallow the mag.

If you want to sell your 760 to get that thing, I will take your old 760.

Not sure I could ever get used to pumping it backwards. Looks pretty nice though.

 

[S1de8urnz]

You pump the scope forward? Loosing sight picture. Thats terrible.

That was my first thought as well. If you're used to "normal" pump guns, the reverse motion might be hard to get the hang of.

As a side note, every European-born hunter I know has a dislike for pump-action rifles and shotguns.

i noticed and wondered he same thing

 

[Wild_Thing]

Was actually mulling over getting a 7600 in .308 or .30-06....

 

[Why not?]

Another remarkably over-engineered piece of kit.

Can't remember who I first heard say it, "There is a wonderful elegance in simplicity." but they were right.

One might say its because pumps are a North American invention with no significant history of European production. But at the same time the Europeans I hunt with all seem to have a soft spot for that other distinctly North American action; the lever. I suspect its because all those gun guys from across the pond all grew up with romantic notions of the Wild West.

I think 760/7600s will survive quite nicely. Those new things are far to pricey and totally back asswards as far as functionality.
