Awesome Rifle
When I offered to purchase my step dad's 760 in 30-06, he gave it to me. 22" barrel, 1/10" twist, removable magazine. I din't realize until I got it home and started looking into it that it has always been considered a fine deer rifle by the gun rag writers. Follow up shots, when required, were fast and dependable. This rifle was developed around 1952, according to the Remington web site.
Mine has B&L Balvar scope (12x (?) variable, and roughly a 42mm objective) on see thru rings,
really nice. It also seems to have a minimum chamber, which was a surprise for such a rifle.
I have purchased several OEM Remington Steel mags for it. They were not hard to find.
My step dad took a buck or two with it every year with 180 grain loads since he owned it, from, I believe, the late fifties or early sixties. Counting a couple of sighing in shots, he estimates it has had about four rounds thru it every year for 30 or so years. I'll probably put more than that thru it the first month; this is the rifle I was developing a load for where I posted an observation on the Pet Loads book earlier today.
While I don't hunt (yet) it is pleasing to have such a fine deer rifle to own, admire, and shoot.
