>dominates the Pennsylvania woods and removes communists
Why were the Remington 760 and 7600 so fucking popular in Pennsylvania and basically nowhere else?

>>63804511 (OP)
It was popular in Memphis Tennessee that one time, but I don't know if a government contract counts.

>>63804511 (OP)
>Why were the Remington 760 and 7600 so fucking popular in Pennsylvania and basically nowhere else?
Wondering this too. Where I live, I see these as well as other pump action rifles in consignment all the time but no one ever buys or even talks about them. Meanwhile, bolt actions, semis, and single shots of the same age and category clear shelves consistently.

>>63804656
yeah, why else do I you think I wrote
>removes communists

>>63804511 (OP)
Because they came in 30-06, which is what EVERYONE uses for fucking everything from groundhog to black bear in PA, especially for whitetail deer, and they were comparatively cheap for what you got.

Seriously do not underestimate the popularity of 30-06 in PA for whatever stupid reason.

>>63804778
do you guys generally shoot at distances that justify using .30-06 over .30-30 or is it just autism?

>>63804511 (OP)
I don't know, but I can confirm the stereotype, given that I have my PA grandpa's '53 760.

>>63804795
The later because a lot of people think .30-30 is weak

>>63804511 (OP)
I think a lot of people in New Jersey use them too.

>>63804840
for what? you can't hunt durr in NJ with rifles, shotguns only. unless they live in NJ and hunt in PA which is possible

>>63804511 (OP)
Because PA doesn't allow Semi Autos for hunting.
It's got all the benefits of a shotgun for handling and the accuracy of a rifle.

I have one and it is a damn fine gun.

>>63804851
That's exactly what my grandpa did. He was from PA (Jessup, now a Scranton suburb I guess) but moved to NJ after the war and would go back home to hunt.

>>63804795
>>63804831
It's 100% autism. Well, that, and people growing up in families where their fathers were not able to afford multiple rifles, so they get one gun in a caliber that'll "take care of everything!" at any range you can physically see in PA without your target becoming obstructed by trees, and call it done.
I guess that last part sort of makes sense, I can't think of anything in Pennsylvania that a 30-06 wouldn't drop, but I still think it's mainly autism.

I say this knowing full well that my own fucking father has a 760, and my cousin has one he inherited from my uncle.
Both in 30-06.

don't forget the other quintessential PA durr rifle, anything in .35 Remington. Currently living up to the stereotype with Pop's 336C

>>63804778
>>63804867
Forgot to mention, mine (>>63804830) is .30-06 too. It even came with a box of ancient milsurp ammo, I think maybe Korean War surplus.

>>63804795
>>63804831
A lot of people in New Jersey or just over all? A lot of people won't make shots on living things outside of point blank, and with the same proj you get like another 70 yards with 30-06 compared to 30-30.

>>63804860
doesn't most of the rest of the country just use bolt guns?

>>63804869
kek, I saw some forum with boomers and they said hunting camp was 2/3rds remington 760s in .30-06 and 1/3rd .35 rem lever guns

>>63804867
>I say this knowing full well that my own fucking father has a 760
you must fight him for it. only then will you become head of the family.

>>63804882
>A lot of people in New Jersey or just over all?
what? do you mean PA? the issue in PA and most of the east coast in general is with the density of the woods and the foothills of the appalachians you generally aren't shooting durr that far. the whole
>why use .30-30
or
>why has .30-30 lasted so long
is because if you don't live out west where no one lives you generally can't see far enough to shoot a durr at ranges a .30-30 won't kill a durr.
The only reason .30-06 and bolt guns are even popular is because the government dumped a fuck ton on the surplus market from like 1903 until the early 2000s

>>63804900
>out west where no one lives you generally can't see far enough to shoot a durr at ranges a .30-30 won't kill a durr.
tfw I have grandpa's .30-06 760 that isn't even tapped for a scope and I live in a place where .300WM is a common deer cartridge

all guns are banned in yurop, faggot
also bolt actions were invented by homosexuals for homosexuals

>no time stamp

>>63804956
bags, crates and some airshit?

>>63804511 (OP)
Good question. Presumably they're solid rifles (at least if they're before Remington went to shit), but why pumps specifically?

>>63804831
That belief is crazy to me. You can take a moose with .30-30 Win, just because it isn't AS powerful as .30-06 Spring doesn't mean that it's weak by any metric.
I wonder if those kinds of people scoff at .30-40 Krag as well?

>>63804860
What kind of delicious animals have you harvested with it, and what kind of groupings do you get with your preferred hunting ammo?

>>63804867
For the sake of argument, any regular old Winchester 94, Savage 99, or Marlin 336 would be able to kill any kind of mammal in Pennsylvania, and be perfectly good as your one and only gun.
Of course, the Remington 760 might be a bit more accurate.

>>63804952
Unsafe with these as they are not drop safe, like most Remington products of the time.

>>63806050
How many long guns are truly drop safe?

>>63804731
Not sure MLK would qualify as a full on communist per se. More like a "communist" in the constructive sense because he was being politically inconvenient.

>>63805970
Most people will tell you that .30-06 isn't enough for moose and you need .300 WM or 7 PRC or something.

>>63806354
No, as in an actual communist. If you read his private writings he was incredibly sympathetic to Marxism. The race grift was just a stepping stone to a class war for him.

>>63804795
Corn fields. HUGE corn fields.

>>63805980
nice pic anon
i hope i can a nice place out in the woods someday. i dont hunt but i'd go stomping around in the woods larping with a doggo and some nice rifle like what you got there

>>63805970
yeah that's the thing that's so fucking weird. most of the market went to bolt actions because they were dirt cheap due to surplus (I think bolts are still the cheapest action), but a pump and .30-30 lever gun would imply PAfags feel they need a very quick follow up shot

>>63806050
just don't drop it and don't chamber it unless you have the gun actively in your hands

>>63806354
he was a literal actual communist
>>63806579
doesn't the corn get in the way? Do you shoot at vague sounds in the corn fields?

>>63806623
>i dont hunt but i'd go stomping around in the woods larping with a doggo and some nice rifle like what you got there
90% of hunting is larping around innawoods

>>63804511 (OP)
The 740 and 7400 series were ridiculously popular around here once upon a time. Same basic design, but gas operated semi-autos that chew their receivers up.

>>63806914
No you go about 10 foot up in a stand and watch migration and feeding patterns in the brush signs. You get some long shots for east coast hunting. 80 yards is beginning to be long in our thick woods and terrain.

>>63806551
>>63806914
King wasn’t a communist. He was sympathetic towards socialism but he considered communism to be an equal evil to laissez-faire capitalism if not more so. He hated Marx’s materialism and atheism and considered all communists to be totalitarians. King held some stupid ideals (reparations especially) but communism wasn’t one.

>>63807061
>evil to laissez-faire capitalism
both you and king are commies

>>63807061
>King held some stupid ideals (reparations especially) but communism wasn’t one.
I've never seen someone refute their own point in a single sentence like that. It's impressive, almost like a sort of logic puzzle.

>>63807094
I’m not calling laissez-faire capitalism evil, King did. So please, tell me how I’m a communist.

>>63807132
Reparations don’t equal communism. He wasn’t arguing for the dictatorship of the proletariat or the end of private ownership or mass cooperatives or even the end of rich people. You could say it’s redistribution of wealth, which it obviously is, and why it’s obviously retarded, but it wasn’t the complete redistribution that communist call for or anything anywhere close. Remember, this spook was literally friends with Rockefellers and other mega wealthy people.

>>63806354
He was a homosexual and therefore a red

>fight him
Absolutely not. He's been a stone mason for 40 years, he a brutal human bean.
He could probably grab my forearm and just shatter both bones with sheer grip strength alone.

>>63805980
I think you can more easily mount a scope on the 760 too, which is probably a big part of the draw.

>>63807522
King gave some speeches where he called communism a totalitarian system but he also criticized what he considered to be a sort of reactive, dogmatic, and unreflective anti-communism that he thought was blinding people. His actual strategy IMO was to adopt the main ideology of the United States and the American people and then go out and provoke the police into attacking his marches as a way of targeting and influencing the minds of moderates. Like freedom of speech and assembly. The whole "I have a dream" thing was to synchronize his own movement with a relatively permanent, longstanding belief in the American Dream which exists in the society with a message directed at white people to "be who you say you are," which created a permission structure for whites to surrender to his movement in a way that felt like a redemption rather than a retreat.

>>63807701
savage 99s and 336s or any of their clones should be fine when it comes to scope mounting

>>63807699
Sure, but that goes without saying, zeds are typically either a mammal (just sickly), or a creature that used to be a mammal but which is now best described as something else.
Different zombie fiction has different zombie rules, mind, so one kind might not even call for headshots, while in other cases that doesn't necessarily do shit.

>>63807753
Yeah, it's only really the Winchester 94 which can be slightly annoying with that, but there are numerous different solutions.

Yeah? They're a great round for handgun hunting if nothing else, but the rifles get around too.

i like both so its all cool
i just like the look of the revel and some features

my LGS has one on the rack that they're asking $1200 for. They also have a 77/44 that they're asking $1100 for. If I had any use or interest in them I might snatch one up.

>>63804900
Yeah, being a hunter in PA I never have shots more than 50-75 yards. It's rare to go more than 100 yards before hitting trees or hills.

>>63805970
Mostly just the standard whitetail. Got some good cornfield deer round here. I also have an older but otherwise matching 20 gauge 870 and I've gotten quite a few squirrels with birdshot. I've gone years for Turkey but I swear to God it's as if the birds don't exist during hunting season.

I've largely given up hunting in PA anymore. If you don't have land to hunt on you have to slum it in gamelands.

Nothing sucks more than coming before sunlight and finding a nice spot only for 'Crunch and stomp McGee's to crash through every stick in the county at 7-8AM and then set up within eyeshot and shout to his buddy "This spot looks good." Like you're fucking invisible.

>>63809695

do you use an optic or red dot or just irons?

I think my cousin's dad says he hunts in PA and I the way he described his hunting trip sounds like they just get drunk in the woods and never actually shoot a durr

>>63804511 (OP)
>pump action rifle
why

>>63818911
Why does it exist or why use the action or why did people buy it?
during the great depression remingshit went bankrupt and was sold to the og gun powder company and chemical company DuPont (a similar thing happened to winchester/UMC which got sold to chemical company olin)
during WWII the government built a bunch of ammo factories for DuPont to operate and make ammo in and had Remington produce 1903A3 springfields (remington produced over 1 million 1903 springfields during WWII and for some reason serial number info is on the national parks site https://www.nps.gov/spar/learn/historyculture/u-s-springfield-model-1903-production.htm)
anyway post sale/WWII remington decided they wanted to simplify production by having a bunch of guns that used the same parts based on the 870 so they could undercut winchester and the other hunting guns makers.
To that effect they made the 870, the 1100 semi auto shotgun (which wiki says by 1983 had the highest sales for any shotgun based on dollar amount made, but it might not be inflation adjustment, I didn't read), the model 740 semi auto rifle and model 760 pump action rifle.
the 740 is the same gun as the 760, just with a very yurp, replace the gas system with the 870 pump system
>why pump action at all
don't have to take your trigger hand off the trigger and doesn't fuck your sight picture much so it's the fastest action style other than semi auto and it's easy to convert semis to pumps because you are just replacing the gas system with the pump and otherwise keeping the bolt system the same
>why PA
PA is one of 2 states to specifically ban semi auto rifles for hunting. PA also has very dense woods and corn fields so guys don't shoot much father than 100 yards. the 760 gives you a fast follow up shot, isn't semi auto and is in .30-06 government for surplus and autism reasons. .30-30 lever guns were popular too for similar reasons, though .30-06 autism and later bolt actions won.

>>63808547
It'd be pretty dope if Marlin gave you a hunting recipe book every time you bought one of their rifles.

>>63819938
would cut into profit margins therefore too anti semitic

>>63822610
there's no way it would cut it that much. Is ruger publicly traded publicly traded like remingshit was and current WWE is or is it like WWE from 1999 to 2020 where it was publicly traded but vince owned all the voting shares?

>>63818911
why not?
