It would be extremely difficult to find a .366 bore barrel with enough meat on it as to make a 7600 barrel. -Spencer | |||

Boom, I asked the question if a 9.3x62, a 36 Whelen, could be done in a 7600. The answer was only if the rechambering and reboring were done correctly the first time as there is no extra beef on those barrels to allow for a correction. The 9.3x62 is not the 9.3x64 however the 7600 action is already set up to work with the 06 or Whelen. So it would appear that a changing to a 9.3x62 would require few if any internal changes to the 7600 where as the 9.3x64 may have clip feeding issues. And of course I am not a gunsmith. If you do this project, please keep in touch, would like to hear how it goes. | |||

I've been wondering if I could do a 375 Hawk on one myself. Around here, this time of year, you can find them for $200. Not a bad start for a transplant donor.... | |||

I would think a good gunsmith could do whatever you want along those lines..Its not a big deal to put a heavier barrel on a 7600 and fit things up..Surly the 9.3x62 or 375 Hawk would be simple enough from a clip magazine..but I see no problem with the 9.3x64 just off hand..I am not sure about costs and that could be an issue with the 9.3x64 perhaps.

keep the responses comming, i chose the 9.3x64 because it duplicates the 375 h+h in a standard length i have heard good results about the 375 with the brenneke case doing just as good too. i like the idea of the pump with a thud crunch. isnt the 9.3x62 about the same as the 375 hawk in power and ballistics??? i was considering the 9.3x62 but thaught hey why not the 64 brenneke and download to the 62 but up to the 64 when needed. so, new barrel and a good gunsmith??? or is there an easier way to do what i am thinking of on a different cal??? wadaya think????????????? 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

In the book titled "Big Bore Rifles" there is a write up by John Kronfeld (i think) and his conversion of a 7600 to .375-06 Improved. He details the conversion quite nicely as I recall. I will try and dig up the book. This is one of those books that is a collection of magazine articles from Handloader, Rifle, etc. Merkel 140A- .470NE Beretta Vittoria- 12 Ga. J.P.

Jeffe - I agree I can see no reason why either a .35 Whelan or a 9.3x62 would not work. Interesting thing is, about 16 years ago I took one to Robar (Robbie Barkman's outfit which was then sharing a building with McMillan's in northern Phoenix, AZ) to have it converted to .35 Whelan. Over several months, I kept returning to pick it up, only to find NO work of any kind done on it. Finally, after many months, when I drove in again to check, they said it is impossible "due to the barrel extension". So, that one never got done. I didn't buy that then, and I still don't. My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still. | |||

Buy a barrel from LW already chambered ( & threaded for the M98 ) machine the m98 threads off & thread to take the Rem barrel esxtension, head space & bingo your done. Buy the artical 720, 722 or 724 Lothar Walter barrel to do this.  Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant.

I know that what ever 9.3 variant you go with its going to be a light rifle & expect it to kick! Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

Hmm. I noticed that Remington lists the barrel assembly in .35 Whelen. Need to pick up one of these just to take apart and report back.... | |||

The real question is whether the Remington 7600 action can handle the extra pressure of the 9.3x64. I was my understanding that all of the auto loaders except possibly the BAR could not handle the hoter loads without comming appart. square shooter | |||

Personally i would limit a 760/7600 to a 9.3x62. Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

The Izhmash-made Tigr-9 has two settings of the gas regulator, for the lighter Russian and the heavier German RWS 9,3x64 ammo. It shoots quite well with RWS.

I would think that one would have to learn the limits of the 7600, but a 9.3x64 operates at the same level as a 270, 06 etc. but with any of these cartridges in a pump, lever or auto one must load them with caution and at less than one would a bolt, Factory ammo should work fine in the 7600...

Boom Stick, I found the book I referred to an earlier post. I was wrong on two counts. The article is named "Wildcat Pump For The Alaskan Hunter" by Jay Turner. He went with a 338-06 due to the rear sight screw holes leaving no tolerance for the .375" bore. My 7600 is extremely accurate, chambered in 30-06, and it handles stiff loads well.

I just wish that i could find a "bad" 760 barrel to get the extension from! Doug Humbarger NRA Life member Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club 72'73. Yankee Station Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo. | |||

All these discussions of doing fancy work on a 7600 seem to miss a critical point, you will still have a rifle with a lousy trigger pull. Have never understood why an aftermarket trigger has never been developed - the potential market is big. Is it assumed that pump rifle users are bumpkins who don't care about accuracy like the sophisticated bolt gun lovers beloved of gun writers? The 7600 is potentially a superbly accurate rifle and it is a pity we cannot take full advantage of it. | |||

good responses...i have heard of trigger work making the 7600 a great gun being free floated and all, i guess stiff loading a 338-06 would be the most you can do on this rig. but still, what a great rig...especially the police model with a ghost ring sight. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.
