Hey Chuck!

I purchased a used 7600 from a local gun shop in the .260 Remington caliber about 5 years ago and gave 525 tax and all. It was used but in very good shape and in a somewhat lesser known caliber. I chose the 7600 because about 85 - 90 % of the time I carry a remington 870 wingmaster while I'm hunting. I'm an avid rabbit hunter and that's just what I'm comfortable using. I find the 7600 handles much the same and to be honest and can cycle it for a very quick second shot. As far as accuracy goes,I find it to be more than adequate and have taken 6 deer with it and have never missed on whitetail. I also harvested 2 antelope with it in Wyoming back in '03. The quick follow up was especially useful on the buck I took. I caught him with a small group of does and after a sucessful stalk I had managed to get into shooting range. I have trouble guessing yardage and when I got settled, I noticed he had stood up( didn't think I had time to range him)and I thought he was close to 300 yards, so I aimed about 2.5" above his back and shot clean over him! The quick follow up shot allowed me to bust him at a dead run at 238 yards...yeah I way over guessed...he was just a shade over 200 at the first shot. Anyway, the next day I took a doe antelope at 257 yards and it whacked it her too. If you're like me and carry a shotgun most of the year, you'll like the 7600.


Good luck!
