Are the chambers notorious for getting dirty? I'mbrushing mine out, and will ccontinueto do so until I feel better about not seeing aanything in it.

Other pics of spent case

I took pics.... primer was flattened, don't know if you can tell. There's a little rust in the chamber.

tjen I would imagine with a 35 Whelen, you do need a good decelerator butt pad. I would like to get one in 35 Whelen as well! On a different note: Does anyone know why a case would stick in the chamber of a 760 after firing, and lock up the action? Any advice....or ideas are welcomed.

Yes, they certainly are Dr. Mike! Nice bit of engineering too.

Yeah, Diver! Gotta clean them regularly. He didn't. Payed for it later. Plus he payed a gunsmith to clean it. Sheesh!

I knew an acquaintance that had a 742, sighted it in, didn't clean it, then 1st day of deer season, hada good size Mule Deer buck in his sights, missed shot, and his 742 became an expensive single shot rifle.

Great advice AzDak42, and TC260! Will keep all that in mind and stored for future use.

I stand corrected. By all means, use your 130 gr TSX, or TTSX bullets. May the Force be with you.

Hi Diver! I had an acquaintance that used a 742 out deer hunting one fall. To make it a short story, he didn't clean his rifle and ended up with an expensive single shot rifle that weekend.

Well.....If you look at what the Technician said, the bullet is light, and keep distance to less than 200 yds. He said to use a 165 gr mono. Plus on top of that, when shooting elk, you should use by rule of thumb, that you should have 1600 - 1700 ft.-lbs of energy at the target. You will have...

Hope you get to shoot it teacher! Mine wears a 2-7x32 Nikon Prostaff, and I hope to shoot her before end of summer!

Ok....I did a little investigating. The 130gr. TSX, or TTSX, are intended for game up to 265 lbs. (120kg). Now, with that being said, the eating elk I went after were 350-400 lbs. I also called Barnes, and talked to a Tech, and asked him about using their 130 gr TSX, or TTSX on elk. He was very...

I agree! Either of those calibers would be great! I would lean towards the .35 Whelen. That's a great thumper of big game. In the late 90's, I think they chambered the 7600 in .260 Remington, which I would like to get also.

Hmm! I don't know about SD not having anything to do with any bullet not being able to drive deep and exiting. If that were the case, the 6.5 cartridges wouldn't work as well as they do. I've seen the mild 6.5x55 140 gr. Bullets exit on big game, and not as many 130 gr bullets in .30 caliber...

I know.....I know! Trying to revive a dead post! I can hear it already! I have had 3 Remington 760 Gamemasters, .308, 6mm Remington, now .30-06. Yes, the slides do rattle a little, something inherent in the design. I can live with it. If you can't, then don't get one. The one in .308 was very...

Hey Guy! Well said and extremely convincing! For the one gun hunter, you can't go wrong with a .30-06. Yes, it's almost 110 yrs old, and I hope I'm as spry as it is if I make it that long. I first shot my Dad's .30-06, because he wanted to pass on the hunting tradition, and to possibly make...

Hi Taylorce1! Sorry I didn't see your previous post. I didn't take it that you were ignoring me. Im just wondering if the 130's will have enough sectional density to plow through heavy muscle, and heavy bones and exit on the off side. The .300 Savage is a great deer cartridge, and a marginal...

I agree, the 7.5x55 Swiss round in a K-31 is excellent medicine! I wouldn't put it in another stock, just leave it the way it is. I will be using my K-31 for hunting, along with my Remington 760 Gamemaster in 30-06 for hunting. She could get a 6.5-284! Not only is it aaccurate, but packs a...

Ruger M77 in 7x57, with a Nikon 3x9x40 Prostaff BDC! A Ruger M77 in 6.5x55 with same scope as above. Or above calibers in a CZ550, plus a .375 H&H Mag. A Ruger Blackhawk in .41 Mag. A Weatherby Vanguard in .300 WSM! Them's the ones to complete my collection! A Marlin 1895 Cowboy Edition A...
