After starting out in 1973 with a Winchester 94, my first scoped rifle was a Remington 760 30-06 in 1976. In 1986 I happened on (found it under the seat of Mother in law's pickup when she had to stay with us for a couple months) a model 70 7mm Remington mag. $200.00 turned out to be enough to get her home !!! I bought a box of shells and found that it grouped half the size of the 760. (Later I discovered Federal premium ammo that halved the groups again) 20 years ago I picked up a 740 in a trade. It was neither accurate or reliable. It went away. A few years ago I pickup up a 760 30-06 carbine. Put a peep sight rear, and fiber optic front sight on it and it's now one of my go to woods guns for deer, bear, and elk.
