ftrovato, that is a nice 760 and appears in very good condition. I own two, one in .30-06 and the other .308, both with standard 22” barrels. They were very popular in PA for deer hunting because semi autos were Not allowed and the pump was the next fastest - great for deer hunting in the woods and surprisingly accurate (1 1/2” MOA and good out to 200 yrds). Remington sold more 760s in PA then any other State, Maine also had a following. I paid $219 for the ‘06 in 1981 then in 2021 bought the .308 used “mint” condition for $750 - similar .308s selling for $1500-1800 on GB. They have become a bit of a collector item and calibers other then ‘06 command a higher price because fewer were made (Remington made more in’06 then All other calibers combined). The carbine length barrel also adds a premium especially in .308. I just love the rifle and it was my first big game rifle - took deer, bear, and one Elk. My friend also has two ‘06 & .243, he used the .243 to take a great Cougar on an Idaho hound hunt. Good luck on your sale, interested it what it sells for but i’m Keeping my two.

Mom's father gave my dad a 30-06 760 the week I was born 1952. It's the first year that model went on the shelf. I don't hunt with it any longer. Used it for moose several years back in the nineties. Needs replacement wood. Dad cut the original stock short for Mom. Besides fast follow up shots (never important to me), the 760 fits snugly against my body when slung. Great for traversing heavy cover.

On the same page with all that you note Hank with me also being an old PA deer hunter. I started with a 760 in the 300 Savage, then went to a 30-06 Carbine and used that rifle for decades. This one has been in my safe for +/- 30 years. I thought the dark wood was rare and as much as I really like the heritage if the 760 I want to make some room in the safe. Someone will get a nice rifle to admire or hunt with going forward!

I have a bore scope and can do my best to get some pics for you this week.

Ftrovato, I believe the 760 in .300 Savage brings a much higher price then .30-06 or even .308 - obviously depending on condition. Regarding your ‘06, I wouldn’t have noticed the wood “dark” had you not mentioned it in your post, it doesn’t seem much darker then my two (1980s versions) but might be - looks nice regardless. BTW - being a “Lefty” had a lot to do with my decision to buy the 760....there weren’t many bolt actions in LH in 1981

Any borescope pics?

First pic is at crown.
Second just in from the crown
Third is about 5 inch into bore from breach
Last is where rifling begins at breach

I believe the gun was unfired when I purchased it. It has bout 20 rounds through it from me.

How did you arrive at the $ 2000.00 value?

Mauser,
Click on attached link below. This gun just sold tonight (12/10) on GunBroker.

The GunBroker sale does not include scope rings or shipping.
Also, state sales tax needs to be added on most GB sales.

Last, dare I say mine appears to be in better shape (for less $) upon close examination of the photos.
If need be, I'll take mine to GB for sale. However, I'd rather sell to a member of Africahunting.

ftrovato,

I wasn’t aware they had gained such collectibility. I know the 760 is a great rifle and definitely has a cult following especially among us eastern hunters. Good luck on the sale!

They are definitely not the most accurate in the tool box but they serve a purpose. All the YouTube videos showing the tracking of whitetails show the 760 carbine. Hence with Remington not producing these for some time, the have gained popularity. I own 7 carbines and 1 .35 whelen like new.. Clean ones definitely are reaching the 2k mark but I think an actual average number is 1600-1700. But them you have to give up 7-8% to GunBroker.. So a buy number on this one for me is 1500.00

Ftrovato, way to back up and substantiate Your asking price - that is an identical comp. You price is right “in the Ballpark”. Of what. They are now selling for. I’ve been tracking selling prices for 760s for years and am amazed and how they have increased in value. The least expensive are the .30-06 Unless it’s a Carbine then price jumps. I ‘ve been looking for one in .35 Whelen but those seem to be $2200-$3000 and that’s too much for my “casual interest”. Once you own one and want to hunt with it - there are a few gunsmiths that specialize in “trigger jobs” on the 760, as they come with a factory trigger based on the Remington 870 Shotguns. The factory trigger is more “shotgun like” but can be improved. I’ve found my triggers to be adequate but may send one out and have it worked on. Overall, I like these guns. Good luck on your sale

Thanks for the positive feedback Hank! They really are handy rifles. When I was a kid, the old timers all hunting with Winchester 94's with open sights. We kids (in the 1970's) all cut our teeth on 760's. Really great woods guns. Not to say they won't shoot. I owned several over the years and they all put 3 into an 1 1/2. With that, I took my fair share of deer out past 200 yards with ease.
Kindly,
Frank
