How about a 7600 in carbine length, .243 or .308,...with wood furniture and real blued metal......
Remington 7600 - suggested new cartridges?

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

The 7615 is the .223 model that uses AR mags right?
I like those, and would have one for the price above.

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 would like to see the 35 Whelen brought back first. Then the 338Fed. and the 280 Rem.

Police return 7600 carbines w/synth stocks in .308 at ~$400 at J&G sales!
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.

My dad has a hammered 760 in .257 Roberts that still makes him look like a really good shot. I still don't quite understand why that cartridge has fallen out of favor.

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.

A couple weeks ago, I would have said .280 Rem, but I actuall saw one at a gunshow recently. Didn't know they made them. Dang it, now I really want one.
