Default new remingtons

My gun dealer told me that remington is going to chamber the 7600 in both the .358 win and .35 whelen next year. Hopefully they don't drop them too fast since they don't say magnum anywhere.

I bought a 35 Whelen 7600 last year from Grice Gunshop in Pa.. Grice has limited production runs of 7600's,7-08 and 25-06 as well as 35 Whelen are listed on their website-GriceGunshop.com.

Id have to think that 358 in a 7600 would be a wet dream to hunt with.

Maybe they'll chamber for the new Federal .338. That would be a nice handy rifle.

It has been available in 35 rem and 35 whelen for years in limited production in both plastic and wood stocks. If they would make the 7400 in 35 whelen I would be first in line.

Oh No Crimedog!!! Havent you gotten the memo from all of the threads in here.......EVERY SINGLE 74, 742, 7400 EVER MADE ALWAYS JAMS EVERY SHOT!!!! Doesnt all this negative hooplah just make you wanna go out and cast your old 742 into a lake and buy a BAR??? Me either, if Remington did offer a 7400 in some unique cartridges I would buy one too. Ive been waiting for a 25-06.

mossy, ya know I've seen the M16, andM4 in the Desert's of Iraq, Afganastan, and the town of Mogadishu and the same is said.But if you maintain the thing the right way which may not be how the manufacture recomends or the Military,it works, same with the 7400. Clean the bore with Sweets 7.62, clean the bolt and action with Hoppes and blast all with brake cleaner and let dry. Lightlylube the area's that Need lube with Mil-Comm grease. The biggest mistake made with the 7400 is people clean the barrel with the bolt locked back and it gets solvent and crud in the action. Solvent gels after some time and collects more crud, and eventually will hang up the bolt or some other failure.
