7600 06
« on: January 24, 2007, 06:46:11 PM »
 ??? I recently sold my 06 Ruger 77 and am thinking of switching to the Remington. I don't like alot of recoil that is jolting due to the nasty headaches i get from it. One to many football games and real serious concussions, the older i get the less jolting the better. Has anyone used one and how does it affect the recoil? Thanks for the help. Jess :o

Don't own one in 30/06 but do have one with a synth. stock in 308.  I find the recoil of the 308 not bad at all, in fact my 77 year old mother hunts with it and has no problems with handling it.

I have one and do not find the recoil that bad, but then again I have not had a bunch of head injuries.  I do wish they would put some kind of recoil pad on it other than the plastic piece they call a buttpad.

The 7600 with the hard butt plate will rattle your cage at least as badly as the Ruger 77.  Not knowing what you are hunting, I don't know exactly what to recommend.  There is nothing in the 7600 pump that will reduce recoil over a bolt gun.  I'm not sure about the 750 auto, but Browning's BAR in .30-06 is surprisingly comfortable to shoot.  The auto action on it absorbs an amazing amount of recoil.  Maybe the Remington autos do too, but I haven't personally shot one to be able to say. 

I really like the 760/7600, but recoil reduction is not in it's bag of tricks.  Do not expect it to be easier on you than the Ruger 77. 

The synthetic stocked model has the R3 on it so that might be easier on you than the traditional wood stocked version.

If you are deer hunting at reasonable ranges some of the "managed recoil" loads might be worth trying.

I'm very interested in securing a Remington 7600 for myself, I think I'm going to get one in .308 Winchester. I just don't know if I should get the patrol carbine version or the 22 inch barreled version. One of the main reasons is that I'm kerr-fisted. Also you can get 10 round single stack magazines for them from Eagle International, which I think is not too bad. One thing those magazines are just as long as a 20 round double stack. I think it would be just fine for hunting in the close in cover you often encounter in Nova Scotia If I ever decide to go deer hunting. I don't think I would ever consider getting the semi-auto version. I've heard there are reliability problems with them.

For reduced recoil get a semiauto in a smaller cartridge

I use Rem 742-7400's for years and find their recoil much reduced over a slide action or bolt action. If recoil is your main problem, get a semiauto Rem or Browning in a smaller cartridge. For hunting deer, a 6mm or 25 cal would be quite sufficient. Also you can add one of the recoil reducing units in the stock. There are many alternatives available to solve the heavy recoil problem.
