Has Remington ever made 7600 .270 Carbine?

A co-worker of mine just recently picked up a used in mint condition 7600 chambered in .270. The gun was in an original box and it is labeled as a 7600 Carbine. I know that Remington as of now does not make the 7600 in a carbine for the .270. My question is, has Remington ever made the 7600 .270 in a carbine? I have not seen the gun, but I theorized to my co-worker that the gun in question was most likely mistakenly placed in a Remington box that originally belonged to a .30-06. Am I wrong? Thanks for the help.

I had a 7600 270 win. Not a carbine, but a 7600.

I am sure they have had one time.

Mr 45-70,
They did make a 270 and a 3006 carbine up until 2002 in the 7400. I have a NIB 7400 carbine in 280. It was a special run in 2003 of 255. I've been considering selling it. the 7600 carbine have been made in quite a few calibers, mostly special runs. I'm sure there is a 27o carbine out there somewhere. If you want, I can give you the name of a "rare Remington" dealer in Pa. who has one or two of everything. If he has one, his prices are really reasonable.

I just talked to a guy that has a 270 Carbine. He thinks its a 760.

Also most barrels that are short are called carbines,and it has been proven for many year that the 270 shoot more accurate with a 22" barrel so there you go. vangunsmith

Remington had made alot of uncataloged variations for some of the largeer wholesalers, a few off the top of my head are
7600's in 7mm-08
7600's in 25-06
7400's in 25-06
these were items grice's wholesalers were advertising at one time or another

What is the thinking behind the thearory that a 270 shoots best with a 22 inch barrel? I just wondered because you seldom see a 270 with a barrel longer than 22 inches.

I'd get ahold of Remington - they've been helpful to me with questions.
