7600 VS 760

Hi all; I was just wondering what is the difference in a Remington 7600 and a 760, besides model #. I can't tell the difference.
Thanks in advance, Mike

    Difference is in the bolt locking. 760 has multiple locking lugs, about 12, 7600 has three. Lot more machining involved in the 760 bolt and locking lugs. Probably cost of machining played a big part. SOme other minor differences, firing pin, action bar to name a few.

    I do believe the number of lugs on the bolt of the 760 is 7, and the number on the 7600 is 4. There are some differences in the bolt carrier also.

    Explain the floating barrel on the 7600 and the non floating barrel of the 760.

    The 760 and 7600 barrels are both free floating , most people not familiar with the workings of these guns think that the brush guard on the early 760s is a barrel support , it's a brush guard and doesn't apply any pressure to the barrel at all . All they did was find a way to make the pumps cheaper to manufacture , thus the 7600 was born ! They are my favorite rifles and I love working on and customizing them .
