I saw a 760 today in a caliber I did not know they chambered it in. I ran across one in a pawn shop in 300 savage. It is in about 75% condition but the small rust patches would probably polish out. I have no Idea what it is worth but it has an appeal to me. It is listed at $479.00. I would like an idea if it is worth anything close to that.
Thanks

300 sav was one of the frist cailbers chambered in the 760. Nice guns well kill many deer with it. I brought a 2nd year peoduction 760 in 270 and scope for 250 last fall no rust just finsh ware.

I would offer him half and see he will take it I would bet he has a 100 dollars oe less into the gun.

Pawn shops get things on the cheap.

It does have a scope which I did not even look at. It may be hard to make an offer. It is a chain pawn shop and the help cannot cut prices. I will have to catch the manager there and I am only in that town one time a month. I may call or leave an offer next trip. Thanks for the reply. 250 is about what I wanted to Pay.

50+ years ago I had 4 of them (not all at the same time), one each in .35 Remington, 300 Savage, .270 Winchester, and .30-06 Gov't.

All were very nice, accurate, guns.

For some reason I could never figure out, the .270 seemed to kick the snot out of me. Both the .35 Rem and .300 Savage were very comfortable to shoot. Once when stranded without food in the Los Padres National Forest of California, I used the .300 Savage to shoot the heads off of several squirrels in some pinon trees, and had lunch on their little bods. I've had a soft spot in my heart for that chambering ever since.

I'd say $250 would be a good buy...anything under that a very good buy.

Good luck...

Here in PA pump guns hold their value pretty well but I would think from a pawn shop you could get it for at least $300. I would love a 760 or even 7600 in .300 Savage. I have one in 30-06 from the first year Remington made them and it is a shooter. It really shocked me when it turned out some sub 1 inch groups at 100 yards. Mine has a vintage steel tubed 2-7 power Weaver scope on it and kicks the snot out of me with the 180 grain loads I worked up for black bear but I love that rifle.

Unless the scope has significant value....479.00 is a pretty high price.
In decent condition, 3-350.00 would be more realistic. I was looking at one last week in Kittery Maine that was chambered for the .35 Rem. I believe they were asking 379.00 or so, No scope. There's a little premium for the less common calibers like .35 and 300 Sav. but not much since there's not a lot of "collector" interest in those FINE rifles at this time.
Mine is 30/06....very common, and VERY deadly.

Thanks for all the replies. I live in Arkansas and have never seen a 760. We had lots of 742's. I bought one new when I was 15 back in the 60's The 742 30-06 shot a lot better than the 700 in 270 I have today. I was hoping for 35 rem when I saw the small clip on the 760 and I have a Marlin in 35 which I love. I am fascinated by the Idea of a 300 Savage though. It was funny though, the clerk thought it was a Savage gun in 300 win mag.

Amazingly enough the Rem 760s were for the most part very accurate rifles right up there with the best of our bolt actions. I have seen a number to them shoot sub one inch groups right out of the box. The CIA chose them for that reason btw, and in .223 as an assination rifle and since our country does not assinate, I have often wondered why??

That gun would normally sell for about $300 in 75% condition and $375 to $425 in excellent condition.

The 760 and the742 make great scout rifles, if you are so inclined.....Tom

My nephew has a 760 in 270 Win. He's a lefty and could never find a bolt gun he liked so he went with a pump. It is without a doubt one of the most accurate factory rifles I've ever seen. And he has tipped over a good number of mulies, pronghorns and elk with it.

IMO the 760 is an all time great hunting rifle especially if a second shot is needed. The .300 Savage will take down any game in the lower 48 at reasonable ranges. The price , however, is a bit high. roger

I have a 760 in "06" The BDL version(basket weave stock),I redid the stock and it has been 'duracoated" and shoots very accurately ....with that said,I would take no less than $500.00 for the rifle w/o the scope!!!

I shot my first boar with this rifle and it weighed 340 lbs (live weight) ....and a few years later I shot a boar in the head at 150 yards,just as it was getting really dark...It's a favorite rifle of mine !

300 Savage is an old round that is coming back ....you only live this life once...I'd work a deal !

They were also often used here in Britain for "Running Deer" sporting rifle competitions in .222 Remington calibre.

But it was all a very, very long time ago and in 1988 Mrs Thatcher (so wrongly "beloved" by many Americans) banned them.

With only 50% of their value compensation and no compensation for any accessories, magazines, etc.

Your mistake in Britain was turning in your rifles without exhausting your supply of ammo
on the people trying to take them from you.

Look up events of 1775, therein lies a lesson that all Englishmen should have learned...
