7600 Remington
First post here. I plan on buying a 7600 pump in .270 froma friend of mine come Nov. I belong to other forums and the reviews are generally positive however there is a small group of 7600 haters who just assume toss the gun in the dumpster. I plan on putting on a 3x9 Bushnell Legend scope and hunt in New England/Western New York area for whitetails.
I would like to get some opinions on the Rem 7600.

RE: 7600 Remington
I have no complaints about mine, it's a 35 Whelen. Generally the 7600's are almost if not as accurate as a bolt rifle. I think where a lot of people's issues come from is from handloader's that do not full length size their brass causing jamming issues. I think you'll be happy with it. I personally feel that with the pump you have faster follow up shots due to the fact that there is less movement involved with chambering another round. Get the gun and enjoy it.

RE: 7600 Remington
Fantastic rifle. I personally like the 30 caliber carbine models with the shorter barrel. 3-1/2 inches of barrel can make a big difference in tight quarters. And the velocity difference is minimal, especially when shooting at shorter woods distances. But any of the Remington pump rifles will work great. IMO any HUNTER that knocks one has probably never owned one.
I use the small base die for my reloads. I have heard several people say that regular dies can be used. I am sure they are right, but I have always used the SB dies. Tom.

This is almost the exact gun that I hunt deer with, just change the brand of scope. It's an awesome rifle, I've never had a problem with it jamming or anything else. It's more accurate than I am, and I love having a clip to carry the shells in instead of loading and unloading shell by shell.

I've got a Rem 7600 in 7mm-08 and it has become my go-to deer rifle. Love it.
