Does anyone here have any experience with the Remington pump action rifles and also the semi auto series of rifles.
I'd like to know the durability of them, specifically the 76 sportsman. I'm looking at one in 30-06 that seems in good condition and is overall a nice deal.
I'm concerned with reliability, accuracy and all durability. I was told by several gun smiths that the chamber will bulge out and that lugs can shear or break if using hot ammo(like buffalo bore supercharged 180 grain soft point 2850 fps from 22" barrel) and that they just aren't very durable or reliable guns. Several also stated the accuracy is awful but plenty have said that the accuracy is 1 MOA or better or one thing like 1.5 MOA and have never had a malfunction.
The 76s were made for only two years, from 1985 to 1987 I think and are basically the same as the 7600s just no checkered walnut.
Say after 10k rounds of that buffalo bore ammo, how would the gun function? Assuming brand new of course.
