I know we accidentally called this gun a shotgun instead of a rifle, slip of the tongue sorry. Obviously its a rifle... NOTE: 762 was actually just the prototype name, which was changed to 760. Also for some reason we forgot to mention the semi-auto versions (740/742/7400) but we did get a 742 and will feature it in another video.
I bought mine at K-Mart in 1976 for $179. I've used it ever since as my primary deer rifle having taken over 60 deer with it. Later came the 7600 and Model Six.
what is the value of it today if sold? i own one i just want to know the value not to sell it's a rifle that been handed down to me from my father I was a toddler in 1976 😂
My father bought me a Remington 760 on my 12th birthday. it is the same riffle I use for hunting to this day. It is 46 years old this year. I can only get 3 bullets in my clip though.
I acquired my 760 in .30/06 after years of carrying a Remington 870 12 GA while patrolling our city streets. After completing an Officers Defensive Shotgun Coarse, and realizing the pump or slide action shotgun was a super fast and versatile weapon, I determined that the Remington 760 would be a great partner weapon for high power use. After leaving the department, both weapons became constant hunting companions, serving well in both wing shooting, small game and big game, providing table meat across several seasons. I continue to keep these two weapons in a prominent place in my arsenal.
I shot my first moose while living in Alaska with my 760 Gamemaster BDL. Chambered in 30-06, I hand loaded a 180 grain Nosler Partition. My rifle was made in 1963, and has a 3x9 Leupold scope. Beautiful firearm, hand checkered stock, and dead-on accurate. The single-shot kill was through the ventricle at 216!yards in a driving rain. That was in 2011. I bought the rifle with the scoop on it the year prior in pristine condition for $350. Times have changed!
I have a 7600 model in 30/06 for deer hunting in Pennsylvania since I can’t use my 742 BDL Custom Deluxe since no Semi Automatic Rifles are allowed in that state. Accurate, Dependable and Deadly!
I used mine in Pennsylvania also! I hunted deer in potter county for about 20 years! My wife bought mine for my 28th birthday! I’m 68 now so I use it for home defense now!
I would say that the 35 Whelen is the most powerful cartridge in the Remington slide action. By the way my 769 in 30-06 I bought new in 1972 for 129 dollars has accounted for 56 white tail deer and 1 bear. Yes I still have it. It will be given to my son soon.👍👍👍🇺🇸✌🏻🙏🏽
No bull, many MANY guys I I grew up had N.B.G. 'S in back seats of their trucks still - my pops had a back glass gun mount in this, he kept his 760 there . One day I noticed he wood-burned and etched the words "The Kingslayer"on the stock 😂
I have one that's a 760 Centennial 30-06 Commemorative Pump that has 1776 to 1976 with gold eagles on the side, hasn't had a scope mounted on it since won back in 1976. Only shot a couple times to glad to have it in my possessions. Also have a 742 woodsmaster both from my grandpa he used it for hunting now I do, just bought a nice Diamondback 3x9-40 for it. It had the same same scope from the 70's and held group every year except this year it was out of turn.
I bought my second Remington 760 about ten years ago for $350. I didn't know that they went up that much. I still have both in 30-06 and both have two magazines. One has a scope that you can see the sights underneath and the other has the scope mounts flip to the side to see the sights.
I inherited one! Its a family airloom now! Belonged to my Grandpa and was past down to my Dad and my dad passed away 3 years ago.. so now its mine now, (im 20) but as a kid i was always so interested in this rilfe! My dad would always go deer hunting with it.. and this rilfe has a history of Deer now😂 probably has 30 or more kills at this point, i didn't get to hunt much when i was a kid, but i plan to get good at hunting someday soon.. Because i would be honored to get a deer with this rilfe!
I own one of these in 30-06, a left handed BDL. Love the video but I don't think you're correct on the topic of the model being changed to the model 762. On the Remington Society website I read that two design teams were assigned to come up with two new rifles 1 pump/ slide action and one autoloader. One team worked on the model 740 and 760 and the other team worked on the model 742 and 762. While there were some prototype model 762's made I don't think any ever made it into production, ultimately the model 740 and 760 were chosen to be built, the 760 made its debut in 1952 and the 740 made its debut in 1955. The 740 had a lot of issues due to the the hard fast slamming of the action from the gas pressure so in 1960 it was replaced by the 742 which was mainly an updated 740. To my knowledge to 760 Gamemaster ran from 1952 all the way up until 1980 without a break and then was replaced by the model Six and 7600 in 1981.
My Dad’s first rifle was a 760 .30-06. He shot a ton of deer with it. I shot my first rack buck with it. Sounds like a civil war cannon going off. Just picked up a 760 carbine .30-06 as well. (18.5” barrel) I’ll pair it with a leupold scope. A nice little package for the PA Mountains.
My dad just gave me one of these and I found out promag makes 10 round mags for it. Never gonna be used on 4 legged animals but those zombies better watch out.
Correction , 760 or a (semiauto 742 ) newer model of the 760 is the 7600 Slide action. Please if you don’t know for sure don’t say things that are not true.
I think you thought we were accidentally calling the 7600 the 762, which would be wrong obviously, but what we were referring to was 760 naming designation, not the next series of slide guns. When we said it was called a "762" for a period, yes, that wasn't correct; we misunderstood a history article and thought it was a brief name change. "762" was what they called the prototype, then changed it to 760. So you couldn't actually get a 762 unless it was somehow a pre-production gun. Also, we did forget to mention the 740/742/7400 in comparison. The point of the video is that back in those days you didn't have many options for non-bolt action, repeating 30-06 rifles.
I've got one from 1971, 30-06, need a barrel though. i'd actually love to have the barrel replaced but ?? i don't know if it can be done, If anyone knows anything about this Chime in please.
some are more accurate than others. Always loved these "shotguns" lol. Just kidding. If you find one that will shoot under 1.5" at 100 you have a real treasure. But you gotta love racking the slide.
It was so hard not to say shotgun. We've shot this gun a bunch of times but that was the first time having a lot of exposure and racking it just really messed up my head lol
First off you called it a pump action shotgun...secondly you have an open beer on the table...WTF is wrong with you? Im all for having a beer, but it can wait till after you are done shooting and all the guns have been put away. Smarten up, your making every gun owner look bad.
Well first off, it's You're*. However I'm afraid you may have missed the part where the slip-up is literally corrected on video in text; I can assure you we didn't actually think we were holding a shotgun the entire time. Also, you can watch any of our videos and see there's no drinking when we are on the range, we use cans, empty or not, as targets but primarily for Natural Light to hopefully notice the use of their product and reach out to us for a sponsorship 😎

It’s all good and honestly most folks off the street call them pew pew 😂👍🎯🌎🌎👀🙏
You mean, you called it a shotgun instead of a rifle? It feels like an 870, so it's confusing, I know... 🙂
@@darkwriter77 lol oops, I changed it now
The 760 is so popular here in Pennsylvania for some reason. Growing up, I shot numerous deer with a 760 chambered in 243, 270, and 7-08.
Yep lots of people use them still I just tore my dads apart to clean and bring it back to life to use this season. It’s a carbine 308 not as common.
Yeah, but that gun killed martin Luther King Jr.
@@markduque1805and ??
Because you can't hunt with semi auto in PA. 760/7600 is the Amish assault rifle

LOl, So did I but in 1980. I loved K-Mart and the Blue Light special.
Low side 500, high side 900@@azjeep26
I have one, and I love it! But you are correct, they are pricey when you try to find one. I wish they would make them again.

Whats it worth now in excellent condition
i grew up using pumpguns. they are the most natural action out there.

Accurate, Dependable and Deadly!
we didnt mention the 742 in the video but we are looking to get a 742 or a woodsmaster and do a video on it too
I used mine in Pennsylvania also! I hunted deer in potter county for about 20 years! My wife bought mine for my 28th birthday! I’m 68 now so I use it for home defense now!
A 760 30-06 carbine loaded with remington 180 round nose cor-lokt ammo is LETHAL on deer!
And oddly enough, very effective for coon as well
😎
I see right through your eyes 👀 my friend!! 🙏👍🎯 love mine and it’s a freezer filling machine
I just found an old 760 game master 30-06 in my dads safe, it looks super old, maybe I should clean it up and give it a try next hunting season
You won't be disappointed. Work the action and keep your eye on the deer. Quick follow-up shots make easy deer burger! I have 3 of them.
I would say that the 35 Whelen is the most powerful cartridge in the Remington slide action. By the way my 769 in 30-06 I bought new in 1972 for 129 dollars has accounted for 56 white tail deer and 1 bear. Yes I still have it. It will be given to my son soon.👍👍👍🇺🇸✌🏻🙏🏽
RiP Martin Luther King , that's a bad ass rifle .
Great gun for right or left handed ✋️
Since I had a light Stroke my left arm was slightly damaged. The 760 works great for me since I'm left Eye dominant.
My dad gave me his 760, debating if I should put a scope on it and use it as a deer rifle
The gamemaster name came out in late 1935/early 1936 with the model 141
Epic video. I came for the remington 760, but I stayed for orange shirt man and his epic use of buttons.
Subscribed!
Where did the natural light go?
MLK got sniped by this
This is the only reason I looked this gun up. But he didn’t die from the gun, he was smothered with a pillow at the hospital

Any chance you'd sell a extra magazine? I got one that was my dad's but couldn't find the magazine for it.
Well you cant put 5 in the clip plus one in the chamber unless you have a colyer clip or the other 10 round mag.

Unfortunately there's a lot of conflicting information about older guns out there. Seems like the changes were minimal between the different names

Yeah it's one of the coolest guns we've ever shot
What brand is the scope mount?
You didn’t mention the model 6 which is the one I’ve been using since 1980
My dad just gave me one of these and I found out promag makes 10 round mags for it. Never gonna be used on 4 legged animals but those zombies better watch out.
Love love love my 760 pump in 30.06 ❤
I had one with those same stupid scope rings had to take it to the gun Smith to get em off

My Dad has this gun, minus the scope. He was trained as a sniper in Vietnam.
I have one in 223. Very nice condition
How accurate are they up to 3oo yards?
@@nathanial82 we don't have a 300 yard range on the compound so you'd have to rely on Google for that
Gunsmith: how redneck do you want this gun to be?
Remington: yes
7600 is available in 35 Whelen but they are like rocking horse shit now.
Add a Lucky 13, 10 shot mag, wet spots!!
After the 760, they came out with the 7600..
No ..4 in Mag + 1 In Chamber =5!
How much is the gun worth now
In good shape probably 500-600
I took my first deer with one of these. Iron sights.
Cant wait to get my 760 in 308,-----
