Well I did it!
« on: June 19, 2012, 05:39:46 AM »
I have been looking for better part of a year and I couldn't a used 7600 in 308 so I called my dealer and got a new one ordered should be here in two weeks. I really liked my daughters 7600 but it was 243. I have a fall Black Bear hunt can't wait to get it clean it up and get to the range.

I have a 7600 carbine in 308. It has become my favorite. You'll like it.

Dealer called and my rifle is in! Went and picked it up. The box was sealed from the factory and I got to open it. Boy  was the rifle it greasy! It was suppose to have the "Super Cell Recoil Pad and had the old style sold one on it. They got one coming from Remington and should be in next week.The catalog even said it come with one. Oh well I'm happy and took the gun home and cleaned it. The action is smooth when I got it after cleaning its like hot butter. Had a 4X32 scope put on it I had around that has been on a few guns. Can't wait to go shooting to sight it in.

You shouldn't need one of those super recoil pads unless you have an injury.

Welcome to the wonderful world of pump rifles. For some reason the 760/7600 have more felt recoil. You'll like the softer recoil pad. My 7mm-08 has a plastic butt plate.

Well I got my Super Cell recoil pad from Remington at no charge-Great customer service! I put a Leupoid VI 3x9x40 on ti and got it sighted in and I sure wise I could post pictures but MOA @100 yards, I'm one Happy Camper! I used Remington 150gr core locks for ammo. Good job Remington!

Just for the heck of it, this rifle planned for a bear hunt, I would try the 180 gr RN's from Remington and see if you be happy with the groups.
