Hi jdeerhunter270,

I've owned a 760 Carbine in .30-06 that I used for years on whitetail and four or five years as the "pick-up truck" rifle when in Alaska along with some good 220's. It had a Burris 2X7 Compact on it.....and I need a foot in my a** for not still owning it. I've owed a 760 in .308 and another rifle length in .30-06. I've also owned a 7600 in .35 Whelen. Once again I need a foot in my "same orifice" for no longer owning these rifles. (I still have my Dad's Model 141 chambered for .35 Remington......kind of the 760's predecessor.)

In spite of what many of the "bolt action" crowd will tell you...all of these pumps provided far more than sufficient accuracy for any big game hunting I ever intended to do with them. I never had "reliability issues" with any of them...and on that seldom chance that a quick second shot was needed...they offered it in spades. They were all great hunting rifles!

Before it is all said and done...I will probably yet end up with another one in my rack!
