You may be on to something with the idea of opening up a 7600 bolt, don't know if its ever been done. I did just drop a .458 WM round through the ejection port of my 760, it passes but is close. Might have to open up the ejection port a bit for reliability if everything else works. I was able...

Very cool rig arniet !! Welcome ! As far as 760 vs 7600, I believe they are both equally capable of handling high pressure rounds. My understanding is the locking lug design was changed due to the 740/742 autos chewing up the receivers. The new 7400/Four (auto) and 7600/Six (pump) have the 4...

The stock didnt warp, but it raised the grain and darkened the wood near its interface with steel parts due to gun oil leaching into the stock finish. I had to wipe all steel parts down daily with oily rag. I am currently in the process of renewing oil finish, carefully knocked down raised grain...

Took my Paul Jaeger custom 7×57 on its first trip since I owned it. Killed 4 blacktails on POW island. Worked splendidly, but the oil finished stock wasnt the best for hunting in a week if near constant rain.

I would opine that the best way to cure a flinch is to learn to shoot a flintlock well. Back in my teenage years when I was learning to shoot a flintlock proficiently offhand, I discovered I shot WORSE when I used the set trigger. When I stopped using the set trigger it forced me to focus on...

I was first introduced to Black Ice coatings by a friend who had a Ruger No 1 done. He lived in Sitka Alaska at the time and spent a fair bit of time hunting in and around saltwater not to mention the constant rain in SE Alaska. The Black Ice coating prevented corrosion in this extreme...

Black Ice coatings is my favorite. https://blackicecoatings.com/coating/

The 98s are all kind of sloppy in my experience, inherent in the design. Especially comparing to modern actions such as custom 700s. Some are better than others, but every one I have experienced have a lot of side to side (and some up and down) bolt slop when action is open. The 1917/P14...

Putting a hardwood shim at the front of the mag box is not a good idea ! The bullets will batter the wood in short order causing debris in your action and potentially even get stuck in the wood leading to feeding issues. I had the STEEL front of the mag box on my Mauser .375 H&H deformed by...

Happens to all rounds in the magazine with one shot with my .35 Whelen and 250 grain Nosler Partitions. Not quite to that extent, but pretty common in my experience. I imagine by shot 7 they would look like that. I would be more concerned about the fact that it appears that the bullet has been...

Same for the Remington 760, lockup is very strong with the multi-lug artillery style bolt and they are chambered in modern high pressure cartridges. A scaled up version of the 760 in dangerous game cartridges would certainly work, probably not financially feasible however. Another rifle with...

Wow ! Big cats, I hope the dog is ok.

To answer your question in the simplest way, it is possible. Just like you hypothesized, if you added a Rube Goldberg type sliding fore-end and a linkage rod to the bolt handle to a Blaser R8 you would have a pump action capable of handling some of the largest DG cartridges. Or do the same to...

It all depends on the skill on whomever is doing the repair. It could be barely noticeable if done right. I have a Remington 30 Express with a filled in sight notch that takes close examination to detect. Or you could mount a peep sight base to fill void.

Yes, this is correct. This appears to be a 2 position wing safety that uses a modified military shroud.
