[QUOTE="DDB TX, post: 2907238, member: 64182"] I own several of the Remington pump rifles. 760s, from the 1950s and 1960s. They are not tack drivers, but I was experimenting with pump vs. lever action (Savage 99s) for followups. They are perfectly acceptable 150 to 200 yard rifles. Most interesting one is a .270 that someone before me professionally chopped to 18.5 inches with a recessed crown, and which I put a Boyd's thumbhole on. THAT is a handy rifle and you can get 10 round magazines for when the wolves circle. Tasco Silver Antler scope that you don't dare change the power on or it will change POI by 2 inches. (Why such an old cheapo? Just to see what happened.) I tested RL 17 and RL 15, using 130 grain Nosler Accubonds loaded around an OCW node predicted by Quickload and an OCW calculator for an 18.5 inch barrel. Best results were from 49.5 grains of RL 15, set at 3.28 inches. (Longer than that and the accubonds were in the lands on this old rifle). The 49.5 grain Quickload velocity was about 2850 fps. The "Shooting Range" was dicey, 50 yards and a steel drum lid as a target - rough when using shoot n see targets because of the backsplash. I was all contorted up to even get a rest on the fender of a Gator.[I] [/I]But I still managed to get a 0.6" group (corrected to 100 yds) out of the 49.5 grain load, and the 49.4 and 50.0 grain loads were under an inch (corrected for distance) as well.
