DoeDumper...I have the same exact rifle. The .300 Sav. caliber is great on whitetails. I shot an average buck, 120 lb., using a 150gr. Core-Lokt at maybe 50 yds.An extremely effective round given its size. My buddy used the .300 sav for years with the 180gr. Core-Lokts...same results. It is one awesome round for deer, and from what I read black bear also. You hit a deer in the vitals with the .300 Sav. and the only place they go is down! You have to see it to believe it. Other posts on the .300 said pretty much the same thing.

I took the scope off mine this a season and will go with a Williams peep sight. I'm going to Maine and will doing alot of still hunting so I gonna try the peep sights. My eyes are good so I'll give it a try.

I know you'll be real pleased with it. If not...I'llbuy it from you. Ilove .30 caliber rifles in a 760/7600 pump gun.I also have a 760 in .30-06 as well, I took 3 bucks and 1 black bear with it in 3 seasons. What a rifle, it's my favorite. I'm looking for a 760 carbine in .308 but no luck, if you can put me in touch with one I'd appreciate it.

Good luck and enjoy the .300. Let me know how you like it.
