- I have been receiving requests on pump action rifles so I hope you like this one in the form of the Remington 7600 in .35 Whelan.. This rifle in this caliber is a titan; a sleeping giant. I also include some information on ballistics and this pump action measures up quite well. It is also a pleasure to operate if you ever have a chance to handle one or even better, own one - would be great. As always, thank you for watching and join me on the following platforms:

I purchased a 7600 carbine in 35 whelen for a bear/deer hunting rifle for the big woods of Pennsylvania. One of my favorite rifles. It’s handy to pack around, shoots like a dream and packs a punch
I have 2 7600s ! One on 35 Whelen and one in 30-06 and they are absolutely 100% reliable ! My favorite rifle by far !
Love the 7600! Had one since I was 14. First deer rifle in 1988 was a 7600 30-06 rifle. All my young years, I had a 1964 Remington catalog that I drooled over.(still have it too!) they knew how to make a catalog back then. The artwork was amazing. The deer scenes with the hunter peeking out from behind a tree, man it made me want that gun! I drooled over the 760 in 308win in the carbine version. So when dad went looking for my first deer gun, he looked forever for a 308 carbine, and they couldn't be found. He settled on the 06 rifle, and Santa brought it to me! I was in love. But several years later, 2 of my friends wanted pump '06's and I helped them find some....BOTH gun we found were carbines! I tried for years to get them to trade me. Mine was newer, prettier, but they thought they were worth more since I lusted after them so much. Fast forward to 2009, me and another buddy that had an old 760, decided to find a gun Smith that would cut our barrels down to 18" 1/2" inches, re crown and remount the front sight, and found a guy that would do it. When I asked what it would cost, he said $28.50 ! All those years, wishing I had a carbine, and I was $28.50 away from having one!! So we did it, and now love those guns even more. The famous Bennot family from Maine always used pump Remington rifles. They are the best "woods" rifle ever. Love the videos brother.
I’m getting ready to cut my rifle down to 18 1/2 inches I found a Smith that’s going to do it I’m encouraged to hear that you had yours cut down the barrel recrowned and the front sight remounted. I hear about some people on CZcams who have the barrels cut down to 17 inches what do you think about that?
The Remington 7600 is extremely popular here in Australia. The 35 Whelan and 30-06 is a common choice in this rifle for hound hunting sambar deer here in Victoria as well as for stalking. Further North in Queensland the 7600 in .308 is a very commonly used rifle on pigs. I work in a gunshop in Melbourne and Remington put out ammo with either a 200gr or 250gr Corelokt bullet. We also sell Vortex 35 Whelan ammo with the excellent Barnes 180gr TTSX projectile that certainly has some legs on it. Thanks for sharing!
Hello oncall21 - I've been to your amazing country a half dozen times and somehow missed seeing a 760. I guess I was with bolt and single shot people. I have a hunch the 760/7600 in the Whelan is about as good as it gets in practical hunting rifles. I'll drop by next time I'm in the Lucky Country. Thanks for the note. All the best mate!
Thanks for an interesting video. I appreciate your reviews on rifles that are not in the limelight and cartridges that are not currently popular but are otherwise hidden gems.
I can't believe I missed this video back when it came out! Love the 760/7600 rifles. My mom bought me one at a garage sale in Western Michigan for my 12th birthday right before deer season. I used to collect them, but I've paired it down to a couple of 30-06's and a 35 whelen.
That birthday '06 7600 with a 2.5x Leupold has filled my freezer with ALOT of venison, a couple of black bear, and 1 moose over the years. Can't do much better for hunting in the dense woods where a quick follow up shot can save half a days worth of following even a good blood trail.
Now that I live in more open country I've gravitated to rifles with better ballistics and higher power magnification...but I could still do it all with one of my pump action rifles if I had to. Heck, for nostalgia alone I think I'll fill one of my doe tags this year with that old gun.
I’m a lobsterman from the coast of Maine. All my life my father has hunted whitetail with Remington rifles. The 7600 in 30-06 is a rifle I’ve always wanted for tracking deer. My dad always hunted with a 7400 in .270. Never once had it jam. He also had a 700 in .270. I am now lucky enough to own these two rifles. I hope to find a 7600 to add to the family. I’m a huge fan of your videos. You have taught me a lot about my Winchester M70 short action carbine along with several others. !! Thank you!!!
Hi Dylan! Glad you are on board! I think my 7600 in .35 Whelan is a keeper : ) All the best to you and your family for 2020!
I have 3 121’s love the pump 22’s. Also own the 760 & 7600. Great woods rifles.
classic gem thank you
Beautiful rifle. I always learn something from your video content. Thank you
Got a 7600 in 30-06 with over/under mounts for close in shots using the iron sights but with an old Redfield 3X9 on top. Probably the best brush rifle ever devised due to the quick followup capability of the pump and it can reach out to 500+ yards easily and accurately. Power and accuracy of a bolt, speed of an automatic, and you never have to take the sights off the target.
Well. It is official. You have the GREATEST channel in all CZcamsdom. As to the rifle, I have the 30-06 and shoot 220 grain. Reliability is 100% after years of ownership. I have Williams WGRS receiver sight and a 1/16 bead front sight that I have squared the sight with a file as I prefer a post front sight and I painted it white as there is no snow (once every decade) down here in my part of Texas. Mine slays hogs. That is it’s job.
Very cool! Thanks.
Model 760 is extremely underrated. Awesome rifle. Flawless operation. Drives tacks. Thanks for posting!!
Yes indeed - remarkable rifle - glad you know : )
Im having light primer strikes with my 760. Any ideas? @@UnitedStatesOfGuns
Thank you for the video. I have my grandfather’s 7600 chambered in .300 savage. Two magazines and the original manual. I enjoy that rifle immensely.
As good as it gets - and the .300 Savage remains one of the best.
I have this rifle in 300 savage, it’s just the best. I shoot it out to 400 yards and can’t miss. I have a guy who will reload for me (I supply the brass) it’s a .308 cartridge cut down. I pay $1.50 a round. The old guy who gave it to me had about a 100 rounds for it. The ammo was about 50 years old and looked dangerous, but of course I shot it all anyway without a hiccup. He was from PA and used it for deer hunting.
Here in PA we are not allowed to hunt big game with auto loading rifles so pumps are popular. Pump actions are laughingly called the Amish automatic where I live. I own a 760 in 30-06 that I used in deer drives when I was young. Too old now to get to the top of the mountain and chase after the younger crowd
When my grandpa was alive I used to hunt in PA. I do remember that its against the law to use semi auto loading rifles there, like you said. I probably will never hunt in PA again. I just don't know if this part of it is true or not. But heard from a family member that law was changed a few years ago, that you now can use an semi auto now. I like to know. If they did change that law can you let me know.
@@airbornesoldieramerica7125 No you still cannot use a semi auto rifle for big game but you can use a semi auto shotgun with slugs and you can use a semi auto rim fire for small game.
@@johnkendall6962 Thank's for updating me on that.
@@airbornesoldieramerica7125 Too bad you are never going to hunt Pa again It's a great state to hunt and the out of state licence is a bargain compared to some other states.
@@johnkendall6962 Maybe some day I will,never know, but it does not look like it any more. Since me and my family members in PA that I used to hunt with in Western PA, we all grew up since then and our lives are so much different now days, with kids, kids going to college, and getting out of college now, grand kids etc..... I still go to PA from time to time, but not like I used to when my grandpa was still living and did not hunt there since like 1983. Were my grandpa and dad is from is outside of Johnstown PA area, Johnstown is the same town were they made those two movies, Slap Shot with Paul Newman and All the right moves with Tom Cruise. Not to mention about the Johnstown floods. I admit you guys have a great state there,and seems like a great hunting areas, and you guys are into baseball and football big time. I would tell you what state I live in, but I don't give out personal info like that on line. But I will say I am around 8 to 10 hours away from the Johnstown area. And remember this part of it very well, your deer season opening day starts the day after Thanksgiving every year right ? What part of PA are you from and would that be the same area you hunt in ?
A hunting buddy of mine inherited a 7600 from his Dad in .270. He took a really nice doe with it this past deer season.
My grand father owned and hunted the woodsmaster 7600 in 30-06 . He always swore that it was best for fast follow up shots . Here in northern woods of Canada we hunt thick woods and open choppings . My aunt ( my grandfathers oldest daughter) use to hunt with a .35 Remington in a Mohawk Remington. Love for you to do a video on the Mohawk . Thanks for the video . Brings me back to deer camp rifle debates from the earlier 80’s when I was a kid listening. Thank you for your time love the information you share
Thank you TBNB - will do - just have to find one; such a fine carbine in the .35...well, in any cal. but I like the .35 best.
Your video motivated me to dig my grandfathers pump out of the case and , it is a 760 game master not the 7600 wood master as I first said . His is the multiple lugs . Still smooth as glass and it needs a bit of TLC . Thank you for your video and response .
My old Remington 760 game master in .30-06 was my favorite deer rifle for years. Smooth, accurate, compact, hard hitting, and reliable. I purchased it from a friend of mine's father roughly about the same time as I purchased a Winchester 94 in .30-30. I've hated .30-30's ever since. They do not stack up as the ultimate "brush gun" in my honest opinion compared to the 760 and 7600 series Remington's. Sadly my buddy's dad died and I sold him the 760 back as he requested. I looked at the newer 7600 and they feel like toys. Plastic and cheap and illfitting. They're junk. My advice to anyone interested in 760/7600 is buy the old ones from mid 70's back.
Perfect advice - the "new and improved" models are sad attempts. Those glad garbage bag stocks have no character of class. I'm glad you see it. I hope you can find a 760 in .35 Rem. - one of the best whitetails-in-the-brush rifles ever. Best to you.
The plastic I'm referring to is the synthetic stock and forearm which again were illfitting (wide enough you could put the tip of a pocket knife in) and with the matte finish vs the old bluing, it felt cheap. My information came from handling the firearm directly. I'm fully aware that there are wood stocks available and different finishes and so on but those rifles, all 3 in the same store, should never have been permitted to past quality control. I am a Remington fan from way back. Love em. But if they can't do no better than that for what the MSRP is, I again suggest to anyone, buy the old ones. However, if you sir have a new 7600 that's blue finish, beautiful American walnut, fit and finish perfect, and can put a nickel size 3 hole group at 200 yards and pay under $350 for it, give it to me and I'll never bad mouth a modern 7600 opposed to the old 760's again.
you sir have an excellent knowledge of firearms,
I’m currently using a 7600 chambered in 30-06 … still use my 740 Auto chambered in 30-06 from time to time , Love My Remingtons !
Outstanding choice sir! All too often forgotten rifle and caliber. I have a Remington 700 BDL in this cartridge, fine rifle for any North American dangerous game. Thank you very much for the knowledge and the excellent presentation.
Great rifle - yours - a BDL in .35 Whelan is not an easy bird to find. I have a hunch the .35 Whelan is even better than I think. It is so balanced, builds into superbly balanced rifles due to the lighter barrel, has manageable recoil and to 300 yards is a better magnum with major mass bullets. A friend dropped an elk a few days ago with his - as usual - everything falls down.
Going to have to keep my eyes open for one of these. I am a big fan of the Remington firearms. Probably because they were my dad's go to choice for rifles and shotguns, so most of my first hunting firearms were hand me down or Christmas gifted Remingtons.
Your Dad sounds like a smart man!
Another very informative video.
Thanks Brent!
Hunting Big Bucks the Bennoit Way......The #1 selling whitetail book of all time. These are the Bennoits family choice of rifle.
I didn't know haff202 - thank you for the info. I'm not surprised - this rifle is capable beyond compare and the Bennoits would know. My best to you.
You're correct sir! 100yrds or less is where its at! Great video!
Thank you Bubba - I guess long shots have an appeal - and that's fine - but for me, I want to be sure, I want to know that I'm doing everything possible to be swift and humane. Sometimes I shoot further - but mostly - I find a way. All the best to you.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns the best to you also sir, i totally agree with your hunting ethics.
I got my first deer ever with a Remington 7400. I've used a few other modern rifles since then, but I still remember how well that 30 year old semi-automatic .270 handled. It was my buddy's family's gun and if they ever sell it, I'm first on the list even though I don't like semi-autos for hunting.
I'm with you - mine works perfectly.
Great rifle
Back in the day I used to collect these. As much as I hate the 742's, I love the 760's. I kept a mint example ,Left hand version stock BDL Deluxe'06. They made an ADL,and BDL, as well as the rarer BDL deluxe. Almost all I have ever seen are very accurate and trouble free. Keep up the good work, I enjoy adding to my firearms knowledge through your excellent videos. Cheers!
Hi Paul - Smart move - collecting these; their excellence is legend. I showed a couple of mine to visitors from Europe some time ago and they immediately recognized the superiority of the 760 over just about all straight pulls and the like. They had no idea how great the 760 is until they handled and fired them - although they had seen pictures. You knew what's what long ago! All the best.
My 760 is having light primer strikes, and ideas?
You can try cleaning the bolt , but may need new spring and firing pin ,gunsmith install.@@lol-ld3jh Sometimes it is just grimy or gummed up.
My Uncle Hector has one of these Bad Boys in 30.06 . It is the gun he refers to as his :” Dinosaur Killer “ . A most fascinating piece .
FWIW, these guns (Remington 760s and 7600) are a steal on the used market. I recently picked up a very early 760 in 300savage for 225$. A year prior I picked up a 760bdl in 30-06 for 240$ that routinely shoots 3/4". William's still makes the wgrs742 sight if a guy or gal wants a quick handling and pointing rifle if a person desires a deer rifle that is about as quick handling as can be imagined. A 870 20ga stock will fit the 760/7600 if a stock change is desired. Thanks Mike for all your hard work and insights.
Hello Dr. Ed - Thank you and I have to agree and say that the 760 and 7600 are probably the most overlooked rifles of all. Their excellence places them amongst the best rifles of all - but they were marketed as lower end hunting rifles. Not true. These are incredible rifles - far above most. They are, as you say, a steal. Thanks for your note and your wisdom.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I owe you the thanks. It's your wisdom and insight that have taught me so much these last couple of years. When I go to my local gun shop, I know what I am looking at in the used gun racks. A few weeks back, I was astonished to shoot a sub 3/4" group with a nearly 70yr old savage 99. A rifle I almost passed up, if not for your great review. When I'm old and it's time, my kids will be getting some true gems for hunting guns. That's due to your knowledge and experience and you passing it on to us viewers. All the best to you, and again thanks for the work you are doing here.
@@dredelcottcryptozooligist4101 Thank you very much for letting me know. I'm glad that what I have to share is informative enough to result in purchases which end up working out! The 99 is so great! A classic and unstoppable. Glad you are here.
Great Video. Never knew their were pump action rifles in medium to large bore calibre. 35 Whelen necked up .30-06
Hi Asim - the pump is so practical and efficient - hard to beat.
The Rem 7600 is very popular in Australia as well as the 7615
Hi Chris - I had a couple of 7615s - such excellent rifles - and stupidly sold them.
Indeed they are very nice rifles USOG thanks for your response 😊
I am getting both of them.
Veryyy Nice, I always wanted one in 400 Whelan made with a properly dimensioned reamer made to Howes original case specs. With a 350 gr at 2300 FPS and a 400 at 2150 it pretty much duplicates the 450/400 Nitro Express. Also for Its similarity to Theodore Roosevelt’s 405 Winchester and the fact that Elmer Keith loved one for Timber Shooting.
Love your videos, the 760, 7600, and REM mod. 6 have been my favorite for hunting deer 50+ yrs. I have found them to be very accurate, near 1 Moa. My first was a 760 BDL 270 that I shot 13 bucks with in PA. Have 2 mod. Sixes,the same action as the 7600, but the stock has a cheek piece ,made 81 to 88. Also have two 7600s with the embellished rec. deer on one side and bear on the other, they were produced in the mid to late 90s. Gorgeous guns. My favorite cal. In the REM pump is the 35 Whelen, shot two PA black bear, also a fan of the 280 rem. Have taken many bucks with, including my longest shot on a buck at 350 yds. The great thing about reloading for the 35 Whelen is you can resize 30 06 brass with no problem. Since the dispersal of REM will the REM pumps be produced .???
I have the 7600 in rem .280. Best rifle I won it has never let me down
Hi Mike - That's ideal - the .280 is one of those dream cartridges that gets little attention. Your 76000 is legend. Thanks for the note.
Got the 7600 in 30.06 for Christmas 35 years ago. Picked up a 7600 carbine in 35 whelen today.
Great purchase - the 35 Whelan in the carbine is hard to find.
Excellent rifle, I have always liked the looks of those. I know a hunter who has hunted his whole life with one of those with great success. I think his is in 30 06. God bless you my friend.
Hi Rick - 30-06 ...can't go wrong. God Bless
Had a 760 in 35 Remington for a short time. I didn't have a need for it, so it didn't stay long, but I enjoyed shooting it in the meantime. It was cheap, stupid fast, and very handy to trudge around the brush. Had no issues whatsoever
Thanks Tangero. Hope they chamber in the .35 Rem. again.
Love the 7600, in the carbine version in .30 06. It's a quick, slick and well made shooter. Can't speak for the newer 2 lugged bolt version, it might be a fraction of a second slower to operate. But hardly anything you or a deer would botice.. The biggest plus to me is how accurate they shoot. Another forgotten pump rifle is the Savage model 170, but that's in .30 - 30 and 35 Remington.
Hi Bob - I agree - the 7600 is super and the multi-lug 760 is the slickest pump I've ever used. Mine is in .35 Rem. I had the Savage 170 - fine rifle but parts kept falling off the bolt - from memory the extractor and something else. I'd still buy one though.
An updated version of this rifle which used aics mags and attached the barrel with a barrel nut would be amazing!
Love your site ! When I was a lad around 65 years ago I read ever page I could find written by Colonel Whelan . He instantly became one of my heroes and I became a gun nut. Owned several rem 760 one in 35 Whelan killed a few deer with and I agree with all you said about it .Like you I have essential tremor it is a bitch . I have with an office visit coming up neurologist.
if I have good results I will let you know,
Love that combination! I have a Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen and it is a stone cold hammer.
Hi Matt - Everything falls down.
You're right. The 760 is a surprisingly accurate rifle that's light weight and fast handling. And in 35 Whelan has great knockdown power with very modest recoil when compared to the 375 H&H mag. Also having very fast follow up shots. I love the 350 rem mag that is the ballistic twin of the 35 Whelen but does it out of a short action with an 18 1/2 inch barrel. The 600 is very quick handling too, but I do like the fast follow up shots of the 760/7600 pump for the more dangerous game. But both are great cartridges that are often overlooked.
Hi Jason - I should have mentioned the .350 Remington - what a super cartridge. Thanks, Mike
Hi Mike, excellent review as always.Thank you!
Suuppppppppppeerrrr common in Australia, always get dressed up in all the Magpul gear etc because we can't have semi autos as easily.
Hey Paul - that's great. I forgot that pumps are allowed. I like the pump better than the semi anyway. Cheers.
Yeaaa i got the browning trombone fantastic little rifle.
So fine - so timeless - I'm glad you have one.
Love listening to your video's...thank you.. therapy ,
Hey Bro Ken - so good to read and your words : like music to me. Thank you so much.
I had a 760 that was converted to 358 win. I like the gun over all. But it had the problem if you did not start the mag. Perfect it would stick up in the receiver. Tryed 3 mags. They all did it. But found a guy that wanted the pump it was a carbine. He had a blr in 358 so we worked out a traid. Yes told him of the mag problem and left the Leopold scope on it to make the difference up between the guns.
I love the blr.
Oh forgot it's one of the early blr. The hammer is NOT the fold down safety version. It's the original solid hammer with 1\2 cock.
And the 358 200-250 gr loads works wonders on hogs,deer,bear,.
@@tbjtbj4786 Those BLRs are brilliant rifles.
My uncle (deceased now) passed one down to his grandson in the early 80's. Not sure if it is a 7600 model or not but the checkering is the same. The rifle was in .270win. I cannot begin to tell you how many deer and hogs that rifle/caliber has accounted for over the years. I think the only ammo ever fired in that rifle was the green box Remington 130gr PSP Cor-Lok. MOA accuracy? Not really. More like 1.5 MOA but the deer and hogs didn't seem to notice the discrepancy. Wonderful gun. I will say this....my experience with the rifle was that it functioned more reliably than the semi-autos. I have owned a couple of those and I didn't care for them. Good review.
Thanks Max - I agree - reliability is about bolt gun level so long as people don's take them apart and over oil...and then hunt in the cold.
A good solid workhorse that shoots big holes in whatever you need to shoot. Moderate recoil compared to the dramatic effect of this caliber.
Loving the videos and all the classic rifles, just stumbled across your channel and thoroughly enjoying it. How about a review on the old Savage 170?
Great idea. I hunted with a 170 when I was a teenager - fine pump action. I'll find one for review. Thanks for the suggestion.
Just picked up a 170 in 35 Rem. Would be interested in a review as well.
Which brand of peep sight do you recommend for the 7600. I am going to try to find / order.
The 7600 is still in production though I've never seen or handled one in person so I can't vouch for quality of the new guns. I'm surprised they discontinued the 7400 though.
Yea I cant believe they stopped but i guess the sales were down.
They like discontinuing the good rifles to make room for the newer bad models. : )
You said the 9.3...
Before my shoulder started getting so bad.
I wanted to get the CZ. FS. Carbine in the 9.3x62.
When I was still a teen I got to shoot a ww2 bring home. I don't know what they are called. I know the combo guns and drillings but don't know this configuration.
Sxs rifle with a lower middle shotgun barrel. The rifle barrel's were in 9.3x72 the guy said the shotgun was a 16 ga. But had a shorter chamber than US shells.
I all ways wanted a 9.3 after that. That was a very nice old gun.
Double stutzen drilling
Great video, I really appreciate your reviews. have a 7600 308. Is it Ok to shoot a 7.65 NATO round through it? Thanks.
I've got the 760 in 257roberts and love it
I've got a bad case of jealousy.
Rare and a gem....as you know.
I have 2 of these guns I love them
Once again you bring to light another gem of caliber and rifle combination. With the 7600 you have I can hear how smooth the action is without even looking at it.
Earlier this summer I was reading an editorial about the .35 Whelan where the person discussed its use in Alaska on brown bears and other big game. They also described it as the poor man's .375 H&H in an era when there weren't many large caliber smokeless choices or a sizeable selection of arms that shot them to choose from.
Those Remington Fieldmaster 121's are hidden gems because so many people want Winchester gallery .22's, but for a person who just wants a classic American pump .22 and doesn't care if it has the Winchester name the Remington is tough to beat.
Anyway, this was another great video and I am looking forward to the one on pump .22's.
I especially like the Fieldmaster - does everything one can ask of a .22.
Could you sometime do a review of the 740 woodsmaster specifically??? Really love the videos and the wealth of info ! Dry humor as well ,,,,thank you
Hi Don - Will do - as soon as I get a 740
Yessir,my self-imposed limit is 300yds. If conditions are right, (wind,steady rest,animal still) In N.C. so far, my longest has been 125yds. .30-06 Sprg. 165's.
I've always heard you can swap the stock out for a shotgun stock. Not sure if 20 or 12 gauge, but would you know if this is the case? It would be cool just for the option to do so, because there are tons of configiragions for the shotgun stocks.
The 760 series Remingtons have it all...light weight, tremendous accuracy and reliability, and the handling qualities and ergonomics of a fine bird gun. Best hunting rifle ever made.
My 760 is having light primer strikes. Any ideas?
@lol-ld3jh if it's really cold, congealed oil can slow the mechanism. Other than that, dirt or foreign matter in the firing pin channel or a worn or damaged firing pin tip would be a guess. Its possible to remove the barrel/forend assembly on these rifles as well, so make sure the forearm tube is screwed tightly to the receiver. A through hole is drilled through the forearm tube for this purpose, you can see it when the forearm is retracted. You can use an appropriate diameter punch or screwdriver inserted through that hole to gain leverage to tighten (or untighten for removal) the barrel/forearm assembly.
Also, if you put the receiver of a 760 / 7600 or 740/742/7400 in a padded vise to hold the gun while working on it, BE CAREFUL with the amount of pressure you use. It's very easy to squeeze in the side of the receiver! Best to make a plastic or wood support block to put in the receiver in place of the magazine. Dont ask me how I know this lol.
@subterfusion4005 I was having these issues in summer. Does your 760 have some play in the action? Say I push forward on the pump, away from me vs pulling towards me. It seems that play makes different sound. Like pulling towards me doesn't let it hot the primer completely?
@lol-ld3jh hard to say. If the action is clean and open and shuts easily/correctly, I would look at the ammunition next.
I love the 7600. I have one in .243 and a 760 in .35 Remington. The 7600 .35 Whelen 22" barrel is on my bucket list. I've always wished Remington would've made the 7600 in 450 Marlin.
Nice chamberings and both are hard to find - especially the .35. I like your .450 Marlin idea. The belt may be a little tricky for feeding but can be done. All the best.
I have a 121 made in December 1949 and 3 rem mod 760s. I have a 35 rem then a 760 carbine 30-06 and a 30-06 with a 22 in barrel. The 35 is absolutely my favorite woods rifle.
Slide action centre-fires are extremely rare here,the balance on that rifle might even be superior to a bolt action.Sounds like the ideal snap shot rifle in thick cover, especially with those sights.
Hi Rupert - You're right - balance is hard to improve on. I like everything about these. Sad they are not too common out your way; some places they are not allowed - strange laws here and there.
Just south of Erie PA a lot of guys use the 760 and the 7600s mostly in 3006. They shoot almost as fast as semi autos in the same caliber, guys fire them off very quickly at running deer or a rogue coyote. Id like one in the 35 Whelan.
Hope you get one Jake. I wish they made one in .358. The big, wide diameter bullets of the .35 Whelan are above and beyond.
I just bought one yesterday in 270
7600's are basically a bomb proof rifle, I've shot 20 plus deer with mine without a malfunction. They are also acceptability accurate for a hunting rifle. They usually can be found used for a good price. That said I have switched to bolt rifles and haven't looked back. For me personally, a bolt gun feels more natural in the hand.
Thanks Shade - I like bolts as well - but find myself shifting to pumps and levers - just something different. I like the single shots as well.
I have a Remington 760 with a peep sight chambered in .358 Winchester, so now we can have one of those .30-06 vs .308 style debates! I think both are great moose and bear cartridges. However, if I was in Northwest Canada or Alaska, where the moose and bear are as big as they get, I would take it up a notch to the .375 H&H level. For that purpose, I like the bolt action Ruger Guide Gun in .375 Ruger, which, like the Whelen, is standard length. One day, when I'll have money to burn, I'll get a Krieghoff Semprio slide action in 9.3x62!
Hello Green Knight - You could get the Semprio and a whole bunch of other guns - but your 760 in .358 might be the best of the lot. As I mention in the video - the 760 is a secret and is .358 (I assume used to be a .35?) is incredibly capable. Same goes for a BLR in .358 - which, like the .35 Whelan is undercalculated. I think you have a near perfect rifle.
@donald Robertson that's true. The .303 British has taken everything in Canada and has excellent penetration! Still, those Wood Bison around Great Slave Lake are awfully big, and if I needed to stop a raging polar bear and get a walrus too, I would personally be more comfortable with a .375 or 358 Norma. I prepare for all possible contingencies, lol. I need to go back up north!
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I assume it was rechambered from .35 too, although the 358 barrel stamp appears to be original manufacture, so it may have been a specialty item, I don't really know. And yes, a Stainless Steel takedown BLR in .358 is on my wish list!
I have a 760 in .308 that got handed down from my father in law when he passed. I hunted with it but it never grouped that well with my handloads.
I had some imr 4320 powder and I thought ,what the heck, I will try the powder. I shot a 5 shot group that a nickel would cover. So, I'm back hunting with the rifle as I like the weight of walking with it.i did find bullet seating depth was the most important
Hi Roon - That's interesting. I've always thought the 760 is one of the best rifles. I have one in 30-06 and it seems to be as accurate as most of my bolt rifles and carries easily and has that "hunting" feel to it. Thanks for taking the time to write.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns hi again USOG. thanks for your reply. As of lately I've been hand loading for some of my rifles. Trying to find their sweet spots.
About every five years I kept calling this oriental fellow that my father knew had some 1970 husqvarna rifles , all new, some unfired with factory store emblems still on.he got into a serious car accident shortly after buying them.long story short, he refused to sell them for many years...I gave up asking
Then out of the blue he calls and asks me if I want to buy them...as a package only. I scrambled to gather the funds but managed to purchase them.one of the rifles is a husky varmit/target in .243 ,you know, with the big bakelite bolt handle!!the same rifle they used to win gold in the 1972 pan am games!!!
I have husky in 22-250, . .243,..30 06, 7mm rem. mag. ...they all have the 1900 action. SILKY-SMOOTH.
Anyway...just last night I pulled out of my safe an ithica model 37 12 GA. That is another gun I got handed down to me by my father in law when he passed.i looked up the serial # on the net to find it to be a 1940.i know these guns don't increase value but I want to restore it...maybe hunt upland with it here in sask. Such a nice light gun to hunt with.
I am wondering if you know of any, or if you have a butt stock for this model 37 as when we were bear hunting the stock clipped a tree while it was riding on a back of a Quad.at that time (decades ago) I had no idea what it really was.
Maybe you know of a good website etc. Where I might find gun parts for it?
Trouble is, I'm on long term diss. So can't fork out too much for it. I'm just another person that WAS totally nieve to the health system here in can can land
Third time the charm lol(my computer is playing game on me hahaha). So, what I tried to wrote for the third time now is this; Wow, what a beautiful 7600 and in .35 Whelan none the less, that would be right at home up here in the Yukon for moose and as a camp gun for bears! If you want to sell it let me know, it would be put to good use!!
Also, one great video, a bit short, but great! Good info on a caliber that is often not looked at in this day and age of magnum stuff!!
Thank you!!
Thanks David - The 7600 in the Whelan would be ideal in the Yukon - you're right. Plenty of power and raw bullet mass. No speculation on capability - a proven hammer. Thanks for persisting and writing.
I don't know why medium bore rifles are not more popular
check out Grice gun store. they have some nice ones in 35 whelen.
Guess these guns were made when Remington was Remington. Remember my dad wanted me to get this gun or the 35 Rem in the Marlin, so I went with the Marlin. Just don't understand on why other gun companies like Winchester, Mossberg etc....never made their version of the pump rifle like Remington has. And maybe some day will get a 35 Whelan.
@Art Anson Never known Savage made a model 170 in a pump action. Guess that is kind of like the 348 Winchester. Winchester only made that gun in a lever action. If Winchester and even if other gun companies made this 348 Winchester caliber in like the pump action, bolt action, single shot rifles etc... this 348 caliber would probably as popular today as the 308 Win, 45-70, 30-06, 270 Win etc......
@Art Anson I am the 3rd owner of a 348 Win. I looked the gun up on line and mine was made in 1941. The gun was handed down to me, is on how I got it.
Someone and some gun writer will bad mouth any caliber. I do not think I would want to live up in Alaska like you guys, but hope some day I will make it up there for a caribou or moose or elk hunt some day.
I own around 30 guns and calibers and the 348 will be one of my top 3 to 5 choices of all the calibers and guns I own to bring up there for a hunt like that.
I did hear and read that the 348 Win is still a very common caliber for you guys up there like you said. So many great calibers out there for the Alaska, Yukon, Canada big game hunting and I believe the 348 Win is one of them.
One of many things that surprises me like I kind of said before, think other gun companies would still make the 348 Win just mostly for the hunters up near you.
But remember reading that Browning did try bringing 348 Win back in the late 1980's or early 1990's, but for some reason it never caught on very well. But think Browning only made like 5,000 to 10,000 of them before they gave up.
@Art Anson Colt stopped making the Lightning rifle because Winchester threatened to build handguns if Colt kept building rifles. As for lever actions pulling down and away, that has not been my experience, but I will take out my 94 and my buddies 760 in 300 Sav. and compare. It may come down to which one the shooter is more familiar with.
@Art Anson Yeah only reason on why I have the 348 Win is cause it was handed down to me. And I know I am the 3rd owner of it. If it was not for that,I probably would never have one. I think if the 348 was offered in the bolt and pump actions etc...,back in the day after the model 71 came out in the 1930's I think they will be as popular caliber as the 30-30, 30-06,308 Win,270 Win etc...And remember a gun catalog we had when I was a kid. Think it was from the late 1940's or 1950's for sure. Don't know what ever happened to it. I've been looking for the same kind of that same gun catalog for years now, and cannot find it no were. This catalog we had also showed animals from pheasants to rabbits to deer to elk to bear etc.... right next to the guns for sale in that gun catalog. Then when that catalog was printed, if I remember right the average brand new shotgun or rifle now days that is starting out price like $250.00 up to $700.00 or $800.00 or more money now days, back then it was selling price was like starting around $35.00 maybe up to like $75.00 to maybe something like $100.00 back then. Think $700.00 or $800.00 brand new gun now days was probably like $50.00 to a $75.00 brand new gun back then. Guess its like everything else, in some ways the new guns now days are better then the older guns, but in other ways the older guns are much better then the new guns now days.
I have 5 of them and I can tell you they are very reliable if there’s ever any issues it’s probably because the magazine spring is weak and not feeding properly
Thanks for letting us know - I think they're excellent too.
Well, you've done it again. You've added yet another rifle to my wishlist.
By the way, what does USOG stand for?
United States of Guns - : ) And I like the wish list expansion - this one you'll like for sure - the 7600 in the Whelan is uniquely capable.
I can see the stainless barrel of a Ruger #1 leaning against the fireplace. I guess #1 because of the forestock.
good info. I have the 7600 carbine in 35 Whelen. I'm thinking of scoping it as my eyes ain't what they used to be! Im looking for a 308 carbine in good shape.
Good for you! Great and scarce rifle.
Probably one of least seen for sale here in Norway, they are treasured for use and not many of them .
Interesting - someone could import them. Ideal for moose and just about everything else.
The us rules and paperwork is high ,and straightpulls have taken a lot of market last years..
I saw one online you could look into , Le Mays .378 Wby on SL action if it is for sale still.
Otherwise on one page Jack O'Connors .416 iBrevex Mauser s for sale also on a page .
I found a mate to yours in 35 Whelen .....but it was two grand :0)
I see a lot of 7600 Remington Carbines in the 35 Whelen, does the carbine take full advantage of the 35 Whelen cartridge?
Hi cc - there is a bit of velocity loss - but those carbines in 35 Whelan are gold - so much bullet mass and power in such a handy package - a few fps less is not a game changer.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Thank you so much for the feedback awesome channel!
First riffle 30 years ago. Still have it
Maybe 35 years.
I wish a wider range of calibers was available in Canada. I don’t see 35 Whelen very often, and if I do see it, it would be one brand and one bullet weight.
That's not good. I find that Cabela's has the .35 Whelan - maybe just one bullet weight though - as you say. At least they have it - and .35 Remington as well - usually. All the best.
The sauer 100 comes in 9.3x62 and it is under 1000 dollars. However recoil is brisk.
It's the 742 and 7400s that are known as the jamaster, across the north east ware I live . The pumps are bulletproof reliable. But the gas guns are not in the cold. They run like crap in cool winter condition
Hi John, Many people wrote me with the same experience. I guess I've been lucky with my 742s
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I got a 742 I had sent away to BLACK ICE COATINGS ,. And that fixed it. That thing will run n run now. Rain or shine or snow, np . Black ice coating is like a super tough thin Teflon that don't wear. It's incredible
What was the first Remington design like this? They all look like 870s.
As far as rifles or the action ?
As far as the rifles go the 760 was first, then the 7600, as far as action, i know the rifles were built on 870 tooling, but im unsure design wise as far as early Remington pumps go
@@ashmerch2558 Just the shape of the receiver and the stock.
I believe, the first of this "style" was the 1148 shotgun, a streamlined version of the model 11 (auto 5 copy). Mid 50's on saw the introduction of the 742, 760, 870, and 1100 (I'm no Remington historian, so if I'm off on order or years, sorry).
I'd like to know if USOG were on a hunt for elk, moose, or other prized critter would he use this Remington pump or a classic Mauser? Or maybe one of those euro rifles that are so fine?
I like the 35 cal and don't mind the pump rifle either. A good combo but the closest thing that I have that handy and powerful like that are my model 71 348 and 348 Ackley improved. Maybe my little Ruger 338 RCM compact rifle. I can definately see this as an cheaper alternative to my 348 addiction.
Hi Aaron - good question. I'd take the 760 into heavy bush or into snow or rain systems; the Mauser for calling elk and the Euro rifles for stands or if I am with a guide. So for the real world - the 760. Same goes for the .348 - a real world cartridge and rifle. Interesting that you like it - one of my favorites as well. Hope this makes sense. My Best.
I have nerve damage I stopped shooting looking thew high power and seeing my tremors exaggerated was frustrating with peep sights i'm shooting again along throws same lines the rifles I do scope 1 to 4 helps mine mostly 1 also a stick mine is camera trypod works with my moa stinks but I'm shooting my brother had that 742 that was a cool rifle I saw it work 3006 you dont shoot it like an a r
My father loves his 760 3006 but he wants one in 35 rem very rare
So rare - I waited for years and finally found one. Such a great combo. And the .35 (as I'm sure you and your dad know) is an ideal 200 yard deer rifle.
Does double Rep stamp make it more valuable
I think so.
Sold my 7600 in 270 win 20 years ago. Regret it to this day.
I've done that many times.
I have the remington pump rem 30 model 14. 100yrs old this year gonna take a deer with it
Perfect! The 14 is elegant and goes on and on!
I’d like one of those in 300 Savage if they were ever chambered for the Savage.
I think they were
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I looked it and yes they were. Absolute old school cool!
This one guy i know has a 270 pumpaction for sale. Im going to check it out on friday. I have a deal where i might trade my sported 303 british no1mk3* for a maverick88 12gauge pump. Or something along those lines
The .270 pump would be a win if in decent shape and the price as well. The trade sounds balanced too - as you know the 88 is about a Mossberg 500.
I was looking at a similar Remington at a local shop just today. As I recall it was in 300 Savage. Not really my thing but a nice piece. There were a couple of Ruger No. 1s like the one behind you, same stainless/laminate.
Are you going to do a video on that muzzleloader?
Hi Michael! Yes - such a fine muzzleloader! Will do.
Use a memory foam for a recoil pad and cheek piece
Thanks David!
have you something french in your collection ?
Hello - I have 2 Gevarm .22s - one in Long Rifle and one in Short. I have a .20 ga single shot percussion shotgun and sadly, sold my Darne. I wish I had more - France makes great guns. Oh, I forgot - I have the Berthier carbine. Lovely.
I have a 7600 in 308 , might try to find one in 243, and looking for a model 7615 in 223
I'm looking for a .243 as well - seems a nice combination of rifle and cartridge.
There is Nothing wrong with Pump Action! i would bet i can shoot my 760 Game Master just as accurate as any of you with any of your Bolt Actions! owned it for 16 years now and shot it hundreds of times, ive always shot as good if not better than the others shooting with! my Buddy had a Browning Bolt action in .270 he used for multiple years, after shooting my 760 Game Master .308 and my 7600 in 30-06, he fell in love with them both!, so much so that he went and bought his own 7600 30-06 and has used it sense! and by the way he hasnt had to track his deer as far either!
my Brother in law just shot a 160 pound 8 point Buck here up north with his .270 and shot it 5 times and the Buck still ran about 100 yards! first shot double lunged him, and also was hit in the neck, as well as body, All Deer i've shot with my 760 Game Master .308 have only taken one step! if they dont drop rite there! thats just the 30 Cal Power and nothing to do with the pumps Accuracy, but thats so little of a difference to me, it does not even matter! and i guarantee any one, that i can shoot my pump a whole lot faster! while staying on target not having to alter either of my hands, whether shooting hand or support hand, so just all around faster! and easier to stay on target! All that also relates to helping accuracy and if your a good shot with what ever is in your hands, what action it is has never stopped me from hitting the Bulls eye or Live game, from what ever distances!
Hi Lonny - good comments and thanks for taking the time to write. I'd hunt anything in North America with my 7600 Whelan and just about anything, anywhere - 'cept maybe the dangerous ones; and even then - if I had solids the Whelan is close to the 9.3x62. Anyway, pump rifles are excllent - just as you know.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Thank you for your response, i dont know how i didnt see this, and i have the 760, and a couple 7600's one is a 30-06 and the other is a
35 Whelen, Im aRemington Rifle man through and through, ive used one sense i was 12 and am now 33, ive never had a problem with any of them, and they have all dropped what i shot with them, again thank you sir, and have a great Holiday season
AMERICA STRONG

LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
My father has a760 in 30.06 and I have a 740 in 30.06. Both are sweet firearms and not sure why they stopped the semi auto line.
Hello mpett2 - I was told they are focusing on their R15 - with more similar to come.
I think 7600s are the single best option for most hunting applications in North America.
You're probably right - especially in the Whelan or '06 or .270/.280 - I'm not sure if they made a .280 but something tells me they did.
9.3x62 does not have tremendous recoil, in fact is is comparable to a 12 gauge shotgun. And it is a very common caliber, offered in very ordinary common rifles, also chambered in 30-06 etc. Nothing exotic about it at all.
Hi Robert - truly one of those classic calibers. I noticed that at last an American manufacturer offered it - at least for awhile or maybe still - in the Ruger #1. Over the years I had so many and often emailed Ruger and Winchester and Remington suggesting they consider chambering in their main commercial models. No luck. I even tried Savage and Mossberg - but no cigars. As you note, such a common cartridge in Europe and well known over here. The Whelan is about the same for rifles - maybe a little easier to find in the Rem 700s. Oh well, plenty of other cals. I suppose. Thanks for the note. Someone just wrote me that the Ruger 77 is available in 9.3X62 - I hope so. Plenty of old Mausers aroung I suppose.
Please every one say "WOODS MASTER" not woodmaster. It's not a circular saw!
