Looking at a new Rem. 7600 in 30-06 . Dose anyone have any experience good or bad with this rifle. Please post any info you might have. Thanks

The 7600 is one of the most underrated rifles around. I have reloaded for some and everyone was able to give me excellent bolt action type accuracy. An excellent rifle.

Agree with Terry haveused/owned 4 7600's all were good rifles. One was picky to get the best out of it in terms of load. I still own a 7600 270 win and it shoots almost anything I stuff down. It was the first rifle I bought with my own money, justlike the passed down 30/30 will always have a place in my cabinet.

I just bought a 7600 in 7mm-08 from Grices. Love it! The first handloads I tried in it, (154 Grn Hdy Round Nose) shot sub MOA even with the factory trigger.

I am planning on a .35 Whelen from Grices as well; I love the caliber as well as hunting with a rifle that resembles my old 870 shotgun. I am becomming more and more of a believer in the pump and lever action rifles. As more and more hunters become infatuated with "long range" hunting the more I believe the big animals are going to be had within the deep dark timber regions. I know from experience that the biggest mulies and elkIhaveseen in the deep dark timber. I guess that is why they get so big, their smart.
I came across a forum some time back that had a very long thread on the 760/7600, I wish I could find it again, it was very informative. If anyone out there has some good links, post them here.

Thanks

The irony is that the .35 Whelen is not a short range rifle like many would have you beleive. Up to 300 yds its no different trazectory wise than any other 06 type round and not that far off a magnum either.

TerryM,

You are absolutely right, the .35 Whelen is being touted more and more as a good round out to 300-325 with the 225 grain bullet and even with the 250 grain. In fact I am going to build one up with a Savage action and a PACNOR 24" barrel. With thepump action in .35 Whelen I have the best of both worlds, quick action and aGREAT round. I was commenting on the action of the Remington 7600 and the great thing about having one in .35 Whelen is that when I have to shoot across a canyon or a saddle, I wont have to worry about clammering around trying to get closer with different caliber like say my Marlin 1895 Cowboy in .45-70 but wait, with that 26 inch barrel I should be able to reach out there, huh? Oh man, I have a lot of decisions to make now .
