Remington 760

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

I have taken over 56 whitetail deer and one black bear with my 760 that I had purchased new in 1972 in cal. 30-06 . Have ran mostly reloaded rounds through it an never had a problem , even at -17 egrets F. Best woods rifle you can put your hands on for the price,although I have to admit that the trigger is something you have to get used too. I used to belong to a hunting club in Pa. called the 760 that is what we all used. Game commission used to check our camp roster every year due to the fact that the camp harvested the allotted Deer in most seasons in the 70 s and 80 s. That says a lot about the Remington 760. Happy Hunting!

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hello Christina, It is an amazing and not-appreciated-enough rifle. I still have the .280, a 30-06, a .257 Roberts and maybe a couple of others. The .257 Roberts 760 is one of the most useful big game rifles ever. Almost no meaningful recoilin the .257, dramatic repeat accuracy, a fine balanced cartridge. Using that rifle I made a shot on a whitetail running flat out that I'll never forget. I actually hit the deer slightly too far back yet the lightning fast reload (which I have no recollection of) put the deer down for good. I'm sure you have similar stories. I guess I still like the 760 over the newer models - those multiple locking lugs are so slick. Thanks for sharing.

I inherited my Great Grandpa’s Remington Gamemaster in 30-06. He was an elk hunter in the state of Washington and killed many bulls with it. I’m a CA deer hunter and am very proud to own this rifle now as it’s a family heirloom. Thank you very much for making this video.

My Dad bought me a 760 In .308 when I was 16. I still have it today. They are wonderful rifles. It has never let me down!

[@jerryschneider145]

I bought a used 760 in 30 - 06 on Gunbroker, about the exact time this video was made. It shot straight from the first time I shot it. Never toughed the adjustment on the scope. The action is butter smooth. I will not tell you have much I paid for that gun, because they go for about double that now. I love it.

Picked up a .270 Mod760 (diamond checkered forearm) at a gun show in Conroe, Texas, this past Saturday. Really nice shape. $350 out the door. Checked the function and all ok. Hope to have some range time this week. Good reviews.

[@leadhead7338]

I was just explaining these rifles to another fella on another video, and two words i used were UNSTOPPABLE in the woods! and the SIMPLICITY to the beauty of these Rifles! Funny i clicked on to your video here, and you litterally said the same exact thing! To me these are the VERY BEST hunting Rifles out there, unless you shooting 800 yards at elk in open country or something like that. I own three of them, got my first one on my 14th B-day, a .308 760 Game Master (my FAVORITE!) and that was 16 years ago already! the same day dad bought a matching 7600 -06 that i now have, and last week i traded my M&P10 .308 for a new 7600 in 35 Whelen! a Brush Beast!!! Cant wait to be Whelen em next season here in VT! Thanks for the video and you sir have great taste in guns! have a great day!!!

[@870wingmstr]

My Dad hunted with a 742 in 30-06 for years. He's the type that might shoot once or twice before season to confirm zero. I doubt the rifle has 150 rounds through it though he's probably taken 40 deer with it. Twice it completely locked up after firing while hunting with factory ammo. We don't need a gunsmith often but it took a gunsmith to get it going. After the second time he retired it and bought a 7400. Our hunting party used mostly Remington pumps and semi autos and that's the only problem I remember. Great guns!

[@Oneofthetwelve]

Good day and thank you for featuring such diversity in respect to the wide variety of rifles. I inherited my grandfather’s circa 50’s 760 chambered in .300 savage. I have the original manual that covers disassembly and maintenance. Owners can contact me and I could scan the document and send it by email. My example went on but one hunting adventure and has sat in storage. I have fired 40 rounds at the range and it functioned well and was accurate. They are enjoyable to operate. Sir, just to let you know I missed-out on the Mohawk rifle as it was sold. Too bad! I did purchase a nice Marlin lever. I have room for one more in my safe and I’m thinking that a K-31 should be there. To all the viewers of this channel have a great day.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Thanks again! A Marlin in always a nice addition and I like the sounds of that K-31. Good shooting!

[@larrygravitt7527]

[@manminusblood]

Me too!!! :)

[@sandramoskwa]

I also own a 760 Gamemaster and it is great ! Faster follow up shot than a lever action and pumping the forend is a more natural motion and comes without thinking. These rifles can be bought for a really low price considering its polished blued steel, walnut stocks, American made and is suberbly accurate.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

So true - a steal in my opinion.

[@crowbranch]

Thanks for the pointer on the 742. I may have to pick one up if I see a good deal. I own a 760. Not sure if mine is one in a million but it is by far the most accurate rifle I've ever owned. I have bolt action rifles that shoot under an inch and one that shoots under .5 inch at 100 yards. My 760 in 270 caliber groups with all bullet holes touching at 100 yards. The best group was a slightly enlarged single hole. Bought it used l a couple winters ago and I could hardly believe my first group. Thought it was a fluke but was able to repeat the grouping of all holes touching with 3 different 130 grain factory loads. From the bench or in the field with a bi-pod, I rest it on the metal receiver just ahead of the magazine, rather than the forend like most people do. Maybe this is the trick to great accuracy with this gun. The barrel is free floating.

[@dredelcottcryptozooligist4101]

That's some good shooting 👍 I only have 2, mid 70s in 06 and a early open sight only in 300savage. Best I've been able to do is 3/4" with the 06. I'd like to find one in 280rem for a reasonable price,but no luck so far.

[@lol-ld3jh]

What ammo I'm about to buy one?

[@crowbranch]

@@lol-ld3jh The factory loads I used were Remington Core Lokt, Winchester Powermax Bonded, and Federal Fusion. All 130 grain. They were all accurate, but the Federal Fusion had the best group with one slightly enlarged hole. But any difference in accuracy between the 3 was more likely me. I really like the Winchester Powermax bonded for performance on deer and bear I have shot. Have a hard time finding it anymore. I hope they didn't discontinue it. I know my accuracy claims may sound unbelievable, I could hardly believe the results myself. I took pictures of the targets for what it's worth.

[@brianwinters2131]

I took a 900 lb elk at 440 yards in 2004 when I was hunting with my brother in law in Colorado near the airforce academy where he was an intructor. I stretched the practcal accuracy of a 30-06 pump especially since I was using regular 180 grain core lokt 30-06 on a large moose and a non premium bullet. I had a one shot stop. Howeveer this was because I snapped the spine with my bullet which means 2 inches higher and i would have missed.

[@Eggomania86]

I recently inherited a 760 game master 30-06 it was my dad's. He doesn't hunt anymore. I used it when I was teenager for my first season. He had an old 4x scope on it. The scope was an old Weaver if I remember correctly with the weaver mount. I am going to re-blue it. It does need new scope bases and rings. I purchased a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x24 along with a limb saver recoil pad.

[@AerobatBrian]

I just picked up one of each, a 742 in 30-06, and a 760 in the same caliber, both off the orphanage rack at my local gun shop. Very accurate rifles, great buy at about $200 each. Both a little aged in appearance, vintage 1957 and about 1961. Looks like someone was getting rid of grandpa's old hunting rifles- great for me!

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Unbelievable. What a win! Well done - you can hunt and shoot and then double your money. Well done. Those 760's are so undervalued - one of the best rifles out there.

[@mistervanwyk7405]

I have the pump action magazine fed Remington M760 Game Master in .300 Savage.... With the multiples locking ... I didnt even ever had the idea to put an optics on it, just the normal iron sight is just so amazingly good and it's a very accurate rifle, you don't need a scope at all even for long distance shooting. Also you can kill way bigger game than deers with this rifle... I've been to Canada a few times and hunted i've hunted 2 mooses and a black bear with this rifle.... Plus it have pretty much no kick no recoils, you can shoot very fast if you want to.

I have the 760 and 742 carbines. One time the 742 locked up and I couldn’t get the spent shell out. One gunsmith would not even look at it. But did offer to by it for parts. A few years later another gunsmith got it out. I had a bent reloaded shell someone gave me. He also told me to never use anything bigger than 150 grain in the 742.

Thanks for writing! Melbourne : fantastic city; same goes for your whole country - been there several times.

[@ATINKERER]

I used to think that a lever action was the best type of repeater, until I realized that the lever scrapes up your knuckles terribly. A bolt gun makes you remove your shooting from the grip in order to work the action, so you then have to reposition it on the trigger. But that's not so bad. Autos can jam, especially if you use handloads that are out of the normal range of the factory loads. So that leaves the Remington pump (unless I've forgotten another common type of repeater). A few decades ago a guy I knew showed me his Remington pump. I had never seen one before. I thought the gun was "un-sexy" and odd. So, I never gave it a second thought, and I never considered buying one. Now that I'm a little older, I think that a pump rifle is the best way to go, at least for hunting in the woods. I'll keep a lookout for one in a chambering that suits my needs.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

I hope you find the pump as good as I do. One of my more recent videos is on the Krieghoff Semprio - a sort of reverse pump - you might be interested in seeing it, if you haven't already. Happy Easter!

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Very well said sir, I'm a left handed shooter that's why my father bought me the 760 game master when I was 13, but growing up with it, honestly I feel even if I was a right handed shooter I would shoot a Remington pump action, Especially after having bought 1st one in my hand and hunting with it, say nothing about successful hunting, as a young man. There have been a few replies to me stating they will never be as good as bolt actions, yada yada yada! That is all BS! To me, It is all the shooter, And any one of my guns has always done what I want them to. There is honestly no other guns, That Carrie, level out, or are as ergonomically comfortable, as these hunting rifles in my own opinion, And I would never change any of my pumps for any tire iron bolt action Rifles ever, As I said I believe they're just as accurate as any other rifle, so I would much rather prefer not manipulating my shooting grip whatsoever! And having Faster target acquisition, and follow up shots, just all the way around better Rifles in my opinion! And yes I am bias because I am an American so I think America is the best place in the world! As I'm sure many other people around the world due to, but unfortunately the Democratic Party and the extreme leftist liberals are trying to take over currently and everything is at stake right now! It is now more important than ever, that we keep our great President in the White House! But if he did honestly lose, ( and I mean honestly), Then he will move on, and we absolutely need to keep the senate seats in Georgia, or our Freedoms, and liberties, are absolutely at risk! And "We The People" that are conservative Americans, And cherish and value our American ways of life, will absolutely Never stand for it! I'm not sure where you're from, but please do not believe any main stream media news, that tells you America is inherently badd! Because it is not it is the greatest place in the world, it is the inner cities and the people's way of life in those cities that make the rest of it look badd, But unfortunately people do not dig any deeper than that if they did they would see, These cities with humongous crime rates, are mostly dominated by these democratic, or leftist liberal policies, and have been for the past decade! 🇺🇸💪🏻

Hello, I know this is an old video, but I have noticed you are still uploading and hope you can answer my question. I received a Remington 760 Gamemaster with a leather sling from a friend and received it in a condition that requires heavy cleaning, but find myself unable to take apart the gun, as many tutorials online for this rifle start with disassembly from the screw in front of the pump. With the model I have, and with the model in the video, the front strap screw blocks the screw mentioned to begin the disassembly. Please let me know if you have any experience with disassembling the 760, and how to disassemble it and remove the front rifle strap screw.

This was almost my very first deer rifle back in the late 1970's in 30-06. But back then I decided to go with the Marlin 336 model in the lever action in the 35 Remington. Hope the 35 Remington caliber will make an come back. Remington makes lots of junk, (specially the past 10 or 15 years) but this maybe one I may still consider to buy for my collection.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

Let me make an correction on this comment of mine here. Thinking of it now, think Remington really went down the tubes since the early 1990''s, ever since I bought their Remington model 870 Express, with the rifle barrel and the bird barrel. Would say that is the worse quality of a shotgun that I own. Did not know it at the time but I was better off on going with the Mossberg pump. I would buy any old Remington. (except of exception of their Remington model 700's). And since Remington took over Marlin and H&R they also dragged these great gun companies thru the mud. So from this I would never buy a brand new or should say any Remington made after the 1980's or the 1990's again.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

The essence of a hunting rifle. Thanks Teppo.

[@marcpjoyner]

The 742 is definitely a POS, well deserving of the jammaster name. The 760 is a great unique rifle though

[@oteliogarcia1562]

We'd like to have that problem.

[@werre2]

Got one. The 5rd mags are hard to remove, 10rd is nicer. Shot deer and moose with it.

[@JohnSmith-qk9vs]

I like the 760 !!!

[@CandidZulu]

Did you do a vid on the Remington Model 8? If you have one it would be cools to see. They are very rare here in Europe!

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Robert - not yet; good idea. I like the 8 and 81. Will do.

[@johnjuiceshipper4963]

"Rapid fire during hunting". Imagine bringing out a FN M249S for deer season.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Someone will. And then the deer drops on the first shot. : )

[@johnjuiceshipper4963]

USOG its alternative usage is cutting down trees, of course.

[@rickbattle5706]

I am out looking for one now! See how much trouble you cause? :-).

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

: )

[@davidmiro8516]

Nice rifle. At model 760 , 270 caliber, how can I get the pads recoil like synthetic materials

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi David - Just buy a slip on pad from Cabela's.

[@davidmiro8516]

Thanks. Do you have the part number for that recoil pads

[@shawnwells5719]

I have a early production (1952) 760 in 30-06 that my father used in the Canadian arctic with good success. Destroys the myth that only bolt actions are suitable for extreme cold. I never liked shooting it until I replaced the skinny, crooked original stock with a Bell & Carlson synthetic butt and fore end. Always accurate (three shots into .75" @ 100 yds.), now it is much more pleasant to shoot. There's also a myth that the 760's interrupted lugs allow the action to 'blow open' when it's shot. Not so, but the myth persists, even though Jim Carmichael explained thirty years ago in his book (Book of the Rifle), what was really happening.

[@ksmtnbkr]

Do you have a hard time getting the pump action apart to clean it. I had a heck of a time with mine.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

It isn't the most straight forward. May be best to pop out the trigger assembly, magazine and take off the forend and use a spray cleaner over some kind of container. I can usually get all dirt/residue out with out taking apart the pump etc... The tube hanger for the pump can be a bear to loosen and the aluminum or plastic bolt cover plate can be a nuisance to get back in place. Anyway, up to you but I find that complete disassembly is not needed even if the gun has been wet or dropped in mud. Up to you though.

[@cowboywoodard2569]

My dad gave me his when I was 8 , in 06 made in the early 50, killed a many a deer,turkey,elk and 3 moose.

[@thakurnileshprakashsingh]

Please share some hunting videos.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Nilesh - I'll try - I'm sort of a one man band but if I can figure out what is probably simple to accomplish - I will.

[@ryanbarry7667]

What scope mount do you have on that 760?

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Ryan - That's an old Weaver one piece base - pretty sure.

[@davidfriesen9512]

I call it whellen as in helen

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Excellent!

[@functor1]

Ha! Obviously you won't be able to hit anything with an old pump action rifle with open sights! Do you realize you are causing enormous trauma to all the internet hunting experts who need the latest synthetic stocked rifle with a Hubble telescope on top to hunt deer!! They wouldn't even have the luxury to scoff at you for being a naive beginner or too poor to afford a decent gun; not many have the collection of fine firearms that you have!! Levity aside; it is a good reminder that fairly basic rifles can do the job just as well as ballistic reticle scoped wonderguns..BTW, I, being an international, didn't even know there were pump action rifles! First time saw one. So learnt something new from this video. Did any one design a pump action rifle outside the U.S?

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi my friend! You made a room full of people laugh over here : ) That is so funny! As for pumps - I guess there was a British design going way back but mostly the pump rifle and shotgun are from The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. I find pumps to be the most natural, logical, efficient and fastest repeating mechanism. More than one reader told me that Australia grouped pumps with semi's and banned them all. If there is a weakness it is in primary extraction - the pump lacks the camming action of a turn bolt; but not a straight pull bolt - which is more a bolt handle operated pump. Thanks for writing.

[@charlesjenkins1225]

IMI in Israel made a pump in the 1990's called the Timberwolf . in .357 or .44

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Charles, I've been looking for one of these for many years. I handled one once - I think the buttstock sort of tipped up and down if one wanted but I could be mistaken. Anyway - desirable rifle for shooting or collecting.

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis7302]

BSA made a 22 pump action.

[@davidkgreen]

functor,favorite gun for lefties, very useful real world gun.Have 270,must be kept clean and oiled.

[@thakurnileshprakashsingh]

Do you have any Rigby Rifle ?

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

Hi Nilesh, I have a Rigby Mauser in .275 Rigby (7X57) which I lent to a friend. I think it is in Aftrica somewhere. When it returns.I'll make a video.

[@thakurnileshprakashsingh]

USOG please sir,I will be waiting for that video

[@the1bulldurham]

You know a thousand times more about guns than I do. But, you don’t know the 742 as I do. You’re wrong about the 742 problems. Thanks for the video’s.

[@UnitedStatesOfGuns]

I'm sure you're right. I know some things but overall, not so much. Thanks for the note and Merry Christmas!

[@the1bulldurham]

@@UnitedStatesOfGuns Merry Christmas!
