Not to hijack, but instead of caliber choice, how about a different price choice instead???? :D :D

I've looked for a 'steal deal' on a 7615 for a long time. I think it would make a nice truck gun.

Since it's basically an 870 with a different barrell and bolt, I can't understand the $650-800 pricing. Maybe I'm missing something. :confused: But, I'm in the middle of building an AR for slightly under $700.

If it's fiscally possible to sell the 7615 in the $300-400 range, Remington would sell plenty. IMHO. :D
 
I also would like to see a return to the 760 stock without the raised comb. I would like to see calibers in 35 Remington, 358 Winchester, 35 Whelen, and maybe a 30-30. All in the carbine length barrel. I never understood why the carbine version is 30-06. A 308 would do better in the 18.5" barrel.
 
I want to change my answer to 8mm Mauser. Dad's 760 carbine in 30-06 killed a lot of elk and deer and a few antelope. That's a very handy rifle in a long action caliber.

8mm loaded to proper European specs in a pump gun would make one hell of a deer/elk/bear/moose gun.
 
.45 acp? Just might happen!

"I would like to see one in .45acp that uses 1911 mags with a mag adapter.
It would be a cool pump .45ACP.
Thread the barrel for a can and it would be a sweet piece."

I've looked into this recently, now looking for a beater to experiment with.
Also trying to gauge if there is an active market for them, it's not a trivial project.
 
How about 9.3mm X 62?

- case is nearly same as 35 Whelen but shoots a 285 grain bullet

- widely popular in Africa and Scandinavia

How about the mighty 444 Marlin?

- its been slaying big game for more than 4 decades

- factory ammo has never been better

I agree than 450 Bush Master should be offered.
