I have a 760 in 30-06. At 100 yrds it groups 1 in no problem with factory rounds. Never jams, quick follow up shots which is great for hunting in states like PA. The pump shoots almost as fast as a semi automatic, the extra second it takes to pump allows you to get back on target for the next shot. I also used to own a 760 carbine which has the shorter 18 in barrel, also a great gun. My dad, both Uncles and all four cousins all use Remington 30-06 pumps, they are a family tradition.
