These are new stock. Synthetic stock, some for matte finish. It's a light, bare bones gun with a 20" barrel. If it was a 35 rem, it would have escaped the store with me.I'd love one! Great, reliable deer rifles. I have a 7400 in 30-06, and agree, them old Remingtons point real nice. Always keeping my eyes open for a 35 Rem pump.
I'm running 158xtps at 3220 in a 22" barreled Whelen.Do not buy a new one.
7600s routinely sell on Gunbroker for 3-400. Usually 30-06. 35 Whelen will go for a little more but not much.
Carbines are what hold their value a lot better so if you wanted to buy one of those new it would make more sense. Still those sell for 5-600 used pretty regularly.
If you cannot tell, I am a fan. A 30-06 or 35 Whelen would make a pretty good one gun for all North America. Read up on handloading for the Whelen. Guys are using 125 gr 357 bullets for varmints and 225-250 gr for maxing out on big stuff.
If your crazy you can AI the 35 and get a bit more mustard. People are knocking on .375 H&H energies with 300 (maybe it was 310) gr Woodleigh Solids out of a 7600 pump.
My hunting buddy had one, but got rid of it after one season (but he traded a lot back then, so don't blame the rifle). He did get a deer with it, as I remember.I was at the LGS and saw a Rem 7600 in 35 Whelen. I couldn't justify it because I was looking for another handgun.
Have any of you bought one of them in any chambering?
They shoulder so well and the iron sights line up perfectly...
I have a Rem. 7600 in 30-06 . Its fast for follow up shots in the northern Wisconsin woods. It will print 1 1/2 inches or better at 100 yards with my loads. Walnut wood and bright blueing, topped off with a Bushnell 3x9x40 Trophy scope. hdbiker
