...I have been waiting for them to come out with a 308 carbine length barrel besides it makes no sense to me why they only offered it in the 30-06.A long action carbine 
that pretty much defeats the whole idea of a carbine...
Don't expect to see any difference in the size of the rifle with the .308 chambering - the action lengths are the same, only the magazines are different. Since the .30-06 is more powerful than the .308 and the guns are the same size - offering the carbine in .308 makes no sense from a practical standpoint - excluding the current popularity of the .308 that is.
.
Actually the action length's are not the same between a 30'06 and .308 Winchester.
That was the whole purpose of the .308 in the first place, to shorten the action in military rifles.
And for a .308 being more powerful - someone needs to go back to school - because out to 400 yards there is less than 15 yards difference between the point of aim and drop of bullet and how far it will shoot.
The muzzle speed and downrange trajectory are almost identical.
The price of a new clip - if you can find one, is usually around $35 - $40!
Most of the ones that I have seen and own were poorly made reproductions of an original.
Here is your one chance to purchase a factory made 10 shot clip for a .308 / 760 - 7600 rifle.
A 7600 is not a machine gun and was not intended for rapid fire. I am sure that the people at Remington saw that other manufacturers were producing AR 15's and other semi auto rifles and that they were loosing profits.
Since they did not want to get into military style rifles and wanted to stick to hunting rifles, this idea was the next best thing.
Since most shots in Pennsylvania are less than 100 yards at a whitetail deer, accuracy is less important than a quick follow up shot. Pennsylvania has been and always will be the #1 state for the sale of the 760 / 7600 Rifle for that very reason. Since Grice Gun Shop was in the heart of deer country at one time - they hold the sales record for number of Remington pump action rifles sold and will get the majority of the ones produced for this model.
I believe that Remington finally saw the light and came out with a model that they think people will want and will buy in large numbers.
Most of their other special offerings - with laser etched stocks and receivers are sitting on the rack. Nobody wants them because they depreciated in the value of the firearm when they butchered the stock and receiver with the laser.
Since the sale price of Remington firearms has gone up by as much as $100 since the closing of Winchester, Remington has not kept up with the times.
They brought back the Model 1100 shotgun, because they realized the big mistake they made when they changed the design. I believe that if they ever want to get back into the sporting firearms business that they will also have to bring back the model 760 with the high gloss RKW finish walnut stock.
Return the quality and accuracy standards to pre 1980 levels and most hunters will buy them again.
