I want to buy one in 270win. Just wanted to know if there is a model that I should stay away from. Don't know much about them. 760, 7600. What do you prefer? Whats the difference? Thanks guy's
 
The 7600 is the most modern of the Rem. pumps. Heavier (and more I think) locking lugs on the bolt. I'd aim for that one, but if you came across a really good deal on 760 you'd be doing OK.

I use the 7600 in 30.06 :)

Which model is that, regular lenght barrel or the short barrel version?
I taake it you have, and lister is looking at the wood stock model.
How about the synthetic stock 7600? What is the deal with the finish on the metal? I heard its prone to rust but then its the same as the 870 express guns and there are a zillion of those out there.

There are minor differences between the two, but nothing major.

I've owned several of each the 760 and 7600. Currently I own a 7600 in 30/06 [for sale], a 7600 in 35Whelen and a 760Carbine in .308. I don't have any preference between them. All work well, are accurate and dependable.

They are both good rifles,and solid as pump rifles go.
I've been thinking about letting my 760 in .270 go...I don't use it much anymore...you might see it in the EE forum one day soon.
 
I have a 760 in 270 that I have had great results with. I like the 7600's but have never had a need to upgrade to one. Personally I'm not a fan of the carbines as they all seem to be in 30-06. I'm a fan of the 30-06 but not in this platform.
 
Pardon my lack of knowledge guys but I have a 760 in 3006 and was wondering what a carbine is and how do I know if mine is one? thanks
 
No use waiting for Remington, I installed a Pachmayr Old English Decelerator on my 35 Whelen / 7600. Helps wiuth the recoil, but moreover, stops the butt from sliding around ... either against your shoulder, or when the gun occasionally gets (safely) propped up on a slick surface.

Tried one Simms Limbsaver pad ... found it a little too "gummy" for my liking, and Kick-Eez just doesn't do it for me.
 
The early 760's had 3 banks of interrupted lugs, whereas the 7600 has 3 solid lugs.

In addition the remmy 7600's barrel is free floated, whereas the 760 has a support at the end of the slide.

All great guns - just to 'confuse' the issue as well there was the model 6 - which was essentially a test bed for all the changes they wanted to incorporate into the 7600 - great guns too. I shot one that would shoot into one ragged hole at 100 consistently. Pretty good for a pump :)

Only the earlier 760s had the slide support. The later ones are set up the same as the 7600s.

My later model 760 is free floated and will accept a 7600 stock set.

Now, if Remington would only start chambering THEIR 7600's with some of THEIR own great cartridge/developments, like the 223 ( and not that piece of crap 7615 now on the market, but a standard 7600 with magazine to match like they used to), the 6mm, 25-06, 260, 7mm-08, 280 and 35 Whelen ... but no, we get 243 WINCHESTER, 270 WINCHESTER, 308 WINCHESTER and 30-06. What's up with that ??? :confused:
