If you don't want it, I'd give a nut for it.

you wouldn't really take that man's nut, would ya ? Lol
I just picked one up before deer season this past year
7600 in 270 with barrel cut down to 19"
Bought it off a friends who had it professionally done
Not to lowd and accurate
My shots where i deer hunt would be 150 yards max so i wasnt worrying about any loss in speed
Shot a nice deer with it this year
Currently looking for a rem 7600 in 30-06 with a 22" barrel to keep the 270 company

Most years there are several of those (7600 in .30-06) at the Perth Gun Show. Almost always, Ken Blue has a nice one for sale. From your location, it appears that would be handy for you.

I've got a spare...
Finally own my first 7600, and a Whelen to boot.
Hy GMC403, any idea which brand etc that recoil pad is? Looking to put one on my. 7600 .270 as my 13 yr old son has. Just claimed it for himnself.
He is a bit recoil sensitive....
Hey guys, what's the consensus among the experienced pump rifle shooters here. Would you rather have the 760 or the 7600 model?
My son has taken over my 7600 and I am looking at a replacement. Not sure whether to go with the older 760 version. or not.

The 760 Gamemaster from the 1970's is the best of the bunch in my opinion.
I've had a few 7600's in '06 and a mid 1950's 760 in 300 Savage,
but my current mid 70's 760 Gamemaster in .308 is easily my favourite.
I think it was made in 1974-75 as the serial number is 7,339,### with no prefix.
It's in near mint original condition.
Here it is set up with a Vari-X III 2.5X8.
Yes, the forend rattles a little, but no other rifle allows for faster follow-up shots other than a semi, and they are sure fun to shoot!
Now if could only find one in 35 Whelen in the same original condition.

Wow, nice rig! Foreend rattle, how big a deal is it? The idea is to find a. 308 or 30-06 for me to use until he is ready to move up from the.270 then turn the. 30 cal version over to him allowing me to reclaim my. 270.
