Wanted to share info on Remington model 7600 in 30:06 used with a peep sight. Some notable whitetail trackers like the Benoits from VT use them as the weapon of choice while hunting the big woods of Northern Maine, New Hampshire and Canada. They use a carbine with open sights due to the usual limited distances as a result of hunting softwood swamps found in the big country. Their guns are mostly model 760 (older model) which came through with iron sights and a straight stock without a raised comb. I wanted a similar set up but couldn’t find a used 760 in good shape so I bought a new 7600 which did come with iron sights but included a raised comb on the stock in preparation for a scope. I took off the iron sights and put on a Williams peep but couldn’t get down on the stock fast enough due to the raised comb. I called Remington and they said that their research showed that 98% of the owners put a scope on the gun so they decided to use a raised comb for all of them. I really didn’t want to take a wood rasp and alter a new stock and they suggested placing a 20 ga shotgun stock as a replacement. I told them that my new 7600 had a satin walnut stock and they sent a shotgun stock that matched my gun perfectly. I cut the stock down an inch and placed a recoil pad on it and I have a wonderful carbine that is light and a pleasure to hunt with. I use the peep with the screw in adaptor removed and painted the edge of the peep red. I have a red fire dot front bead and the eye finds the center of the opening. It is real accurate and it comes right up on target especially in the snow. It isn’t a gun to be used if you expect to do any long range shooting. It is excellent for hunting the large bodied deer found in northern New England and Canada.
