500grainsThe started making the 760 back in the 40's or early 50's, through the 80's. Would need to look at it to estimate date of mfr.

Rick TealRemington began producing the mod 760 in 1952. There is a letter code stamped on the left side of the barrel just ahead of the receiver that shows the month and year of manufacture. Usually there are two letters, however, some of the early years had 3 - usually a single followed by a double - for example "L EE".
I don't check in here all that often, but if you e-mail me the letters on your gun, I can look up the year in my Blue Book.
