Ive searched alot online and here, and feedback on this particular pump action centerfire is mixed.

I know that the Benoits of maine favor this carbine almost exclusively. But i was curious if anyone here has / had one and what their experience was. I think it might be a nice upgrade in a few years from my slug gun im building. Plus the muscle memory will already be there.

I shoot a 7600 in 308. It fits me perfectly, the scope lines up with my eye automatically, and it is quite accurate. It is a little heavy but the other factors offset that. My go to gun for deer.

A nice rifle and as stated is a great deer rifle... Great in 06 or 08. Just my 2 cents....

They are the best rifles going IMO,very fast follow up and accurate!!!!Never had a problem with mine/ours cause my whole family and friends use them in PA for hunting (semi auto not allowed there)......

Hmm maybe that aeems to be the consensus..... looks like it'll go on the list... im surprised i havent seen one in the local shops yet

My brother has a 760 in 30-06. It's MOA with handloads.

Great rifles! Fun to shoot and a very sensible hunting rifle. If you shoot any pump shotgun regularly, running a 7600 will require no thought. I read a lot of negative info about them online as well, but most of the people I run into that own one usually love them.

This is mine, it's a 7615 camo hunter. Chambered in .223 and adapted to use AR mags; still awaiting a scope. A standard 7600 is probably more reliable than this one, I have encountered a few feeding issues when using my pre-ban magazines. Compared to the factory ten round magazine it came with they old aluminum magazines fit much looser in the magazine well. Otherwise no issues.

I agree the new clips sold with the 7600's are junk!You have to get on Ebay and buy the older clips,and they are not exactly cheap,like a fine wine they got more expensive the older they got LOL....

 

[Jetster]

By the way i doubt the new clips have feed issues,its just they do not slide in as smooth as the older ones.....Probably fine but I use mine for hunting and carry an extra Mag,and need a fast transfer while chasing wounded buck sometimes...

This I don't know. I was saying that a standard 7600 with it's proprietary magazine is probably more reliable than my 7615 and old pre-ban AR magazines.

I bought a brand new 30-06 7600 a few months ago and the (5 round) mag took 5 minutes to lock in,while my older ones slid in like it was ice.I called Remington and they sent me a new clip and it did the same thing,so they are cutting corners on them.
