Default RE: remington model 760

Many years ago, when I lived in Pa. the Rem 760 was considered the premiere deer rifle. It probably still is. A friend had a private range, and opened it to the public before deer season each year. We helped sight in dozens of 760's each year mostly(as I recall) .30-06 but also .270, .308, .280, .257, and .35 Rem. We NEVER had one which would not shoot groups of less than 2 inches and usually much less at 100 yds. If the rifle's owner could not shoot a decent group, which was often the case, one of us would shoot the rifle. Since we were primarily target shooters, we were bolt action fans, and the 760's totally amazed us. The triggers are generally not very good, but they are good shooting guns.
