This rifle goes back to around the 1960's as the
760 'Gamemaster' and was followed by the newer 7600.
By many accounts the 760 was the better gun.
It is marginally unusual in that it is a pump action
(although included in the bolt category for convenience),
chambered in this case for the .308 Win round. It
is eminently suited as a deer rifle and accuracy
is excellent. The one thing it will not tolerate
is bad quality ammunition as the rotating bolt will
not close fully every time and even extraction can
be difficult. Homeloads work best or Factory Remingtom
JSP's.
It is quite compact and thus easily toted all day
if need be. |
