The younger crowd on these forums won't find this topic interesting. IMO the Remington 760 rifles built prior to 1978 were the slickest, most accurate rifles short of a bolt action. Even then (I could) outshoot some bolt actions.
I've shot over 300 deer with my 760's. Primarily with my 5-Diamond 257 Roberts. Approx. 1/3 third with my later 30.06 and a smattering with my 5 Diamond .222.
I've shot groundhogs with both the Roberts and the .222 to 250 yards and deer at the same range with the Roberts & the 30.06 - I've killed deer at short range woods scenerios as well. All the rifle calibers handle my reloaded ammo very well.
All three rifles are scoped with low profile 3X9 Widefield Redfield scopes from the mid to late 70"s.
Flat out great, reliable, accurate and pretty rifles.
