The 760/7600 Club

[OneBarfly]

Hey, I'm a new club member. After trying to hump around a M305 last year, I'm taking hint from what some of the other guys were carrying. I just purchased a 7600 in .308 and I have a beater 760 in 30-06 on the way. Barrel chop and duracoat sounds like a plan.

20" is about right on those. I had my Whelen cut back to 20". It's perfect! The 18.5" Carbines are a bit choppy and loud to shoot, so you expect that when cutting shorter.

I wouldn't bother with the Duracoat as the smooth finish on those 760/7600 is not prone to rust. I've never had that problem with any of the ones I've owned.

a folder makes it real easy to stow . I gotta say that this rifle sure is handy and the 18.5 barrel for me is a good barrel length anything longer is a pain in thick stuff or on a MC.

A 16" trapper model would be even handier especially in a .338 federal.

Hummm 20 inch? I was thinking of going to 19". The right side of the receiver had the a previous owners SIN number free-hand engraved on it (BIG). I would like to buff it out & Duracoat (or maybe just parkerize). I was also thinking of putting a peep sight on it. Maybe a ghost-ring like the 7600P? Thoughts?

Havn't hunted with this one yet.

Williams makes a peep sight (WGRS) that goes on the top of the reciever using the existing scope base holes. They work well enough with friction set screws.

Williams also makes another FP sight that require two holes drilled on the side of the reciever. This sight would be about the best out there as it is more rugged and has micrometer settings.

I have used both. The FP is the best of the two.

I shoot an 18.5" .308. It's no fun with full house 180gr loads.

I'd love to see someone try to shoot a 16" .338 Federal.

if its the montecarlo stock then you will most likley have a tough time seeing through them . The police rifle has no comb so you can actually use open sights.

 

[Barracuda]

mine is the 30-06 carbine with the choat folder and the recoil or noise is not a problem at all. In fact i would describe it as a pleasure to shoot and fast to aqquire and follow up. The fairly straight stock of folder does a good job of reducing barrel flip

7600's

Beautiful rifle Yukon,

I have three 7600's in 30-06, Weathermaster, 7600 with game scene and 760(my first one),
I have one in 35 whalen and 243 both with game scene receivers. I think they are the best all around gun I have ever used never be with out one.

Havn't hunted with this one yet.

I'm a proud owner of an Amish machine gun (aka Rem 760 in .30-06). It's accurate and quick to bring on target...for me, at least.

 

[saskcop]

I have a 7600 weathermaster in .30-06 and a 760 in .243. Both easily shoot moa. My goal is to find a 35 whelen someday as well as a 308 or .30-06 carbine. Can't think of a better all around gun. My wife clobbered a huge bull moose with the weathermaster last year.

 

[BAC4]

Just picked up another 7600 today!! Purchased a 30-06 carbine synthetic from a friend.Has a 2-7 Bushnell scope mounted and comes with 4 magazines and all of his handloads and factory ammo.I know this gun and it doesn't have more than 200 rounds down the pipe. Hope to get it out for a moose or deer hunt this year.
Cheers Bac4

Holy cow 450Yukon you sure have ALOT of overlapping Remingtons!

What else have you got hid up there?

 

[450yukon]

Didn't mean to overlap the last 3 postings Noel. Or did you mean the Rems? Only total 18 in number.
