Question about the 762 Rem pump?

Hunter4ever04 · 09-17-2005, 08:28 PM

My Grandfather is looking at geting a used 30-06762 pump for an elk hunting trip. The rifle he is looking looks like it is in verygood condition and it's in the price range that he wants. The reason he wants a pump is because both he and my uncle have to be able to use it and he is left handed and my uncle is right handed. What my question is how much differance there is between the 762 and 7600?Is there anynoted differance in relilabilty and accurcy between the two guns? If he gets that rifle what kind of accurcy can he expect out of it? And my final question, is there any specific reason why he should not get a 762? Like for example, prone to jamming, barrel will burst, misfires every other shot, will fall apart in hands when fired for the first time.

And my final final question, what was the reason the 7600 replaced the 762? Thanksa lot for any help you guys can give me.

I made a mistake on the model number it's really a 760. It was the model befor the 7600. Here's a link to some pic's that I found http://froogle.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=37424708#PIC. scrollup morefor pic'sThe gun that my grandfather is looking is in better condition than this one.

Buy it....the Rem pump has never been slandered on this forum that I can recall. I liked mine and others have posted positively about them.

My nephew had one, and that idot decided he did not like deer hunting and sold it without giving me first chance. I hunted with it two years while he owned it, and really liked the rifle. I was teaching him how to deer hunt and that was the rifle my sister bought him to hunt with. So I spent a lot of time on the range with it, and hunted a couple days for those two years with it, every season. The pump was smooth and locked up tight and was a real fast shouldering accurate rifle. I have a couple 30-06's but would have still bought that one in a heart beat.....

Very good and dependable gun. I had one in 270 and any bolt gun only wished it could shoot like it did.
