I've had a bit of experience with the 760. I got my first one in 1956, and have had 5 others since. I had extractor problems with one, and returned it to Remington for repair, but had no other problems. All of them were very good shooters.

Living in Pa. during the '60's, and '70's,I did quite a bit of competitive rifle shooting. Before deer season, the club I belonged to would open up the range on Sundays at no chargefor hunters to sight in their rifles. The club members assisted, and usually ended up shooting at least 1 group with every rifle. Weshot many (dozens?) of 760's. Seldom would we find one that wouldn't shoot well. The triggers were lousy, but those suckers would shoot. The problem, is that many (most?) of the owners could not shoot well, even from the bench. While most of us with a scoped 760 woulddrop 3 shots into 1 1/2 inch at 100 yds, the average ownerdid wellto keep his shots in a 6 inch bull. Perhaps some of the inaccuracy tales had their beginnings with owners such as these, but in my not-so-humble opinion, the 760/7600 is a damned accurate,and relatively trouble free hunting rifle.
