Here in Pennsylvania the 760 in 30-06 is THE preferred big game gun. Never owned one myself but have hunted alongside many ridge-runners who did. Most rigs had inexpensive 3-9x scopes and many were much revered hand-me-downs from older family members. One or more are usually present in most deer camps. They've usurped the long popular 30-30 lever guns for use in deer and bear hunting. For some reason the 7600 is not thought of as highly as the original 760 version but I do not know why this is so.
