Re: 760 Deluxe

the metal is strictly standard, no embellishment at all. The wood in the stock and forend are finely figured, finished and matched. The checkering pattern matches a friends premier grade rifle from the 50's except mine has better wood figure. Would they have put premier grade wood on a standard rifl...

Its a 270. I see where a deluxe version was listed in the 53 specs ...

760 wood

I broke the stock on my 760 ADL (horse rolled on it while in a scabbard, but that is a different story). Does any one know of a source for 5 diamond wood for these old rifles or anyone have a set they want to sell? Its a 1958 300 savage.

Re: 760 special order

Thanks guys, I appreciate the help. I will try to post some pictures. I guess there is no way to document factory work from old records like at S&W. HB

Re: 760 special order

The gun does not have standard production wood! It is very highly figured. the grade would be exhibition or close. It is hand checkered, as evidenced by a single tiny runover, and is in the remington factory configuration, IE. no monte carlo or cheekpiece. It has a remington factory metal butt plate...

760 special order

I have a 760 in 270 caliber with a date code on the bbl of ZZ which is 1953. It also has a code on the left side of the bbl under the date code that is cv3 which I understand means that it was returned to the factory for repair or alteration. This rifle has very fancy hand checkered wood with a remi...

Re: 760 first year

It is hard to unlock when anything is in the chamber, once it unlocks it operates normally. I dont use reloads in this rifle.
