    Nice rifle, with a Simons scope. But $2300 + and 46 bids??? I don't get it.

    Unreal!

    I remember years ago, well maybe decades, buying a used 760 for $150. It came with a scope, case, 3 or 4 boxes of ammo, sling and a couple of extra mags. For some reason, probably the way it fit me, that was the gol danged hardest kicking 30/06 in existence. My 300 mag didn't come anywhere close to that 760 30/06 in the level of felt recoil. I kept most of the extra goodies and sold the rifle and mags for $200 and thought I did really well. Years, o.k. decades, later I sold a bunch of the 7600's at the gun counter and nobody ever complained. Maybe they redesigned the stock so it didn't kick so bad but I never had the desire to try one and see. Bob

    That is a ridiculous price. I am sure the seller is a happy man. That being said I have been watching the auction for an older 700 ADL in 308 and the prices on the older Remingtons have really gone up

    I knew I should've snapped up a bunch of Amish machine guns cheap when I had the chance.

    Guns that aren't made anymore are appreciating. I wouldn't give you that much for a truck load of them.

    I bought one for my southpaw son for his first deer rifle. Early model, 270. Paid $250 around 1989. I didn't realize it weighed 8 lbs. I never heard him complain about recoil.

    On 9/15/24, I saw one of Locust Forks auctions for a Remington 1100, .410, sporting go for $3,938, + taxes & fees. I have bought & sold shotguns for over 50 years & never have I seen one close to being as highly over inflated as this. It speaks volumes about how much people are willing to pay for an item.

    I would love to have a Remington 870 express in .410. Yes I have found some on the auction side, but I can not afford $ 1500 + for one.

    I have one and still have the box. I have never fired it. I sure did not know they were bringing that much. Don

    I just looked at .410 Wingmasters on the auction side. Big oof. I think I'll hold on to mine.

    Hold on to it, and pass it on to your granddaughter.

    The 760's that are chambered in the rare calibers like 243,6mm an are in deluxe grade bring way more.

    Yupper, I started out with an older 760 with the metal buttplate. Kicked the snot out of a 120# teenager. Upgraded to a 742 a couple years later and it was much easier on the shoulder.

    We were always Browning A-5 guys. A Remington 1100 was OK if that was all you had. Back in those days you could buy about 3 Reminton 1100s for the price of a good used A-5.

    My first high-power was a 760 in .30/06. Got it in 1969 for $149.95. I put a Weaver 3x9 scope on it and it is still 95%. Then much more recently, in 2007 I think, I bought a 1950s model, also in 30/06 at a local auction house for $230. In mint condition. I have fired it maybe 100 times. I still have both.

    My ex father-in-law had a 760 in .222 Rem. That was a rare bird. Unfortunately he blew it up when he messed up and put pistol powder in rifle loads. He sent it to Remington and they sent back one in .223. With it they also sent a brief note: FACTORY AMMUNITION ONLY! This was in 1976.
