About 45 bucks at cabelas. Not too bad.
I think they haven't really caught on - people who don't feel the need for a fast follow up shot tend to go with bolts, and people who do tend to think semi auto is the way to go. I have to say - the follow up shots with this are actually stunningly fast, the recoil tends to kick the empty out without you even thinking and bringing it back in line with the target just naturally makes me move the pump forward. I have personally double tapped a deer as it bolted across the road at about 20 yards and the shots were both in the boiler and only about 3 inches apart - so it's both fast and accurate. Faster than i need to be honest.
the first shot was fatal and the second shot was just more instinct than anything. But i think people worry about short stroking, they don't realize how fast it is, it's not known for it's accuracy tho mine with the right ammo was pretty close to an inch, which is more than enough for hunting. These days it's all about half inch groups or rapid follow up and such and pumps just don't get the love they deserve, and they don't have the historic cool factor of a lever. They're a little underrated in my books.

Yeah, that is probably the reason why.
I see them all the time on the EE, gunshops, and gunshows in vgc and better and with some like new for often less than half their new price.
I also see used mags at gunshows for about $20-$25 and just bought one at my LGS for $20 for my recently acquired 7600.
A local Gunshop told me the pumps and the semi auto 740 and 7400 are a $350 max trade-in to them as they can not sell them for much higher.
I agree that they are very underrated and should sell for a lot more second hand than they do.
If I was looking for one I would grab it if the new price now at wsports is any indication where they are going. Just about doubled in the past year there . Our good old canadian dollar once again
Cheers

I have just bought a new toy as a coyote/truck gun, a 7615P in .223. I am thoroughly impressed!! A great handling, fast shooting gun. I am really impressed with the accuracy. I hand loaded 60 gr. Speers over 23 grains of H322 and shot consistent 1" groups at 100 yards and some shots clover leafing. I thought I would regret selling my Mini 14, but this is WAY more accurate and is perfect for what I intend to use it for.
Cheers!

Understand But that is buying it in the US is it not with US dollars
That is still over 80 bucks canadian landed here
Shipping is 16.00 US alone, plus the conversion to canadian dollar plus the 10 buck clearance fee and then taxes on top of the total
Might save like 5 bucks for me in NS . Better to buy from Cabelas canada while they have the old price still
Cheers

They are a hell of a gun IMO. I got real stupid one day and got talked out of mine and I regret it ever since
Congrats
So using that type of math, a gun that sells in the US for $300 becomes a almost $800 dollar gun here?
Also a dealer in Canada is not paying $16 USD shipping or $10 Customs clearance fee (NAFTA) on each mag he is selling, he will buy from a Canadian distributor who buys maybe 100 at a time as part of a larger shipment of items from the US distributor.
If they are commonly selling for about $30 USD in the states for a US made product they should be selling for about $50 CAD max here.
BTW, another vendor who is a sponsor on CGN is selling them for $37.95 and has them in stock at that price.
Now it could be that Remington has recently massively increased the price of these mags but there are well over a couple million of these rifles made in the last 70 years (semi's and pumps) and probably at least 4-5 million mags in circulation in NA, with a lot of them on the second hand market, so if they increase the price too much they will get stuck with a lot of mags in their inventory that are not moving.
Every time I go the a gunshow there are a bunch of VGC second hand ones for sale at various tables for about $20-$30. That is part of the reason I got one of these rifles, I knew I would never have problems getting cheap and easy to find parts.
If the price of new mags goes up too much people will not buy them. These mags are just mass produced, very cheap to make simple pressed steel, nothing complex or complicated about their manufacture to warrant a price over $50.
I just checked online and found lots of people selling them second hand in qty for very cheap prices -

Hello, happy to finally join the club after reading this entire thread. It's a 760 300sav in good condition. It's not drilled and tapped for a scope but I can say wow! Does this thing shoot with open sights! I would have no issues taking a deer out to 200 yards or so. Bought it primarily to handload some 150's and accompany me in the truck/river boat to take out beavers and or anything else. Hoping for a good beaver bounty again this year.

Very nice looking rifle, thanks for sharing.
My old 223 is nearly identical but I have found it a bit more difficult to use after having left rotator cuff surgery.
If my shoulder doesn't improve it might have to go..
