The 760/7600 Club

Don't forget to read #4,
4. Magazines designed for one firearm but used in a different firearm

The maximum permitted capacity of a magazine is determined by the kind of firearm it is designed or manufactured for use in and not the kind of firearm it might actually be used in. As a consequence, the maximum permitted capacity remains the same regardless of which firearm it might be used in.

Example:
The Marlin model 45 (Camp Carbine) rifle chambered for 45 Auto caliber uses magazines designed and manufactured for the Colt 1911 handgun, therefore the seven round and eight round capacities are permitted. A similar example is the 10 round capacity magazine for the Rock River Arms LAR-15 pistol, regardless of the kind of firearm it is actually used in.

My wife's deer rifle is a 7600 chambered in .308. She absolutely loves it, now if only I could find a red dot for it she likes. This gun has beautiful wood to it. Can anyone tell me how to age these rifles? It looks exactly like my father-in-laws 760 but is a 7600. It has checkering and a fleur-de-lis pattern with a white line on the fore arm and stock.

Wouldn't it be quieter walking around the woods with one of these?

Not all 7600s have a monte carlo stock, my 1989, .270 doesn't. I have a big head, and high see thru rings, and it's perfect for me:)

Question for the owners, what is the main diff between the 760 and the 7600? I see the 7600 has a monte carlo stock, is this favoured over the normal flat stock? Are the 760's better built or considered to be better quality because it was made before Remingtons QC went to crap. Would a mint 30 year old 760 be better than a new 7600?

You CAN use the LAR pistol mag in the 7615 because it was "designed" for a pistol and is so stamped on the body. The 10 shot mag available from Remington is a prohibited device because it was designed for a rifle. It doesn't make any sense, I know...but that's Canadian gun laws for you...common sense in Ottawa was thrown out the window a long time ago!

That's confusing I have aa mags too and aia mags and lar mags and that gsg drum but the proper canadain one ..... So hmmm I don't know what to think now I want one but the way this is worded really kinda turns me off a little. I by no means live by fear but I totally read it as singled out... Thanks for the possible clarification. So what about the ten round mags for other calibers then... Why do the laws by default make us criminals in some ways it's insane

legally what you are saying is correct. Unfortunately most in law enforcement are not aware of that as I found out coyote hunting with a 7615 some years ago. Now I leave the 10 round home when hunting not worth the hassel

That's what I was and am afraid of though I can't see this side being much different with say a t97 just sayin...
 
Hey all

Not trying to hijack this thread but thought I would go to the 760 club for the question.
My dad has a wonderful 760 in 308 that he has dropped 8 moose over 40 years including a 58" bull in 1988.
He is now 72 and the eye sight has left him. I will be getting him a scope.... I need advice on base and rings? He also wants high rings so he can see the iron sights close in.
He is sceptical of a scope because he has never used one, hence why he wants hi rings.
Thanks in advance.

Just a heads up...if it's a 760, it most likely has a regular stock and those see-thru style rings will place the scope too high for proper eye alignment and cheek weld on the stock. I would recommend you get a variable low powered scope in the 1.5-5 range and use the lowest possible rings that will allow it to be mounted. On the lowest power setting, your dad will be able to shoot with both eyes opens the exact same way he did with the open sights. I assure you that with just a couple rounds of practice he will be confident with the setup.
 
This being "dad's" first ever scope, he may do just fine with the high mounts, because he's going to something totally new anyways. And please don't think that a high mounted scope on a regular stocked 760/7600 is too high for "most". Let the men try what they want to try, then if it doesn't work, and they ask, go for it.

And I bet none of them were factory lefty. I have never seen another in 222 or 223 in left hand

Lefty of any caliper from what I can find out were only made one year and only in the bdl grade

760BDL Left-hand - 1966

I seem to think the 760/223s are harder to find.

They are down this way for sure . 222 was never an issue to locate 223 was especially a factory lefty
The 257 is super tough also to locate
Don't know the production numbers of these 222 and 223 but I know when looking for a spare mag for the 223 I ran a listed on gunbroker and had 4 222 mags offered almost immediately which yes would work but I wanted a stamped 223. Finally after about 8 months got a new one in the box and was the only true 223 I was offered
Cheers

I've got a 257R, and had two lefty BDLs. Gave the 30-06 to my dad. Switched the trigger mechanism of the 270 to right handed. Think I still have the trigger.
