Remington 760 Accuracy

I have owned two, a .270 and a .223. Can't remember what the .270 shot but do know that the majority of moose I have taken were with that rifle. The .223 was a sub m.o.a. rifle with a variety of bullets. When I was younger I could get by with relatively low power scopes and shoot good groups. Now it takes scopes of more than 10x for me to get the best out of any gun. Don't know what your age is but maybe a higher power scope would improve your results. These guns were never intended to be target guns, especially the .30 calibres, so I wouldn't snub a gun capable of shooting 1.5 inch groups.

I don't know much about the 760, but I have a 7600 carbine... Once I got used to the trigger, it shot great. It wasn't right fussy about winchester ammo... Hard job to get a 2" group... But it shoots cheap federal ammo at 1"-1.5".

They shoot better when rested on the side view mirror of a Chevy half-ton. I believe they were designed so that the vibration of a 350 Chev dampened the harmonics of the barrel.

Dang my Chevy has a 327,maybe I should just rev the motor a bit more,guess the pool noodle on the window trick won't work either.
 
The 760/7600s are mostly what I hunt with. The 257 rob, 270, 280, and the 30/06 are near tack drivers. The rest are quite accurate as well. Some a little fussy with certain gr bullets, but once you have worked up the right loads these rifles shoot as well as any other rifle.
As far as the rattle that some complain about, its a very easy and cheap fix with an oring. Some where in this forum Supercub has a very good post about this rattle repair. Check it out.
 
Was just at the range a week ago helping a bud sight in his 760 in 30-06 with factory Remington 180 core-lokts. At 100. it averaged right around 2".
My 7600 rifle in 35 Whelen is regularly under an inch with handloads of RL-15 and Hornaday 200's.
