Description:
Remington started producing the Model 760 "Gamemaster" in 1952. According to the barrel date code "CYY", this example was a first year production gun in April of 1952. It is chambered in a very neat but scarce caliber, .300 Savage. These 760 Gamemaster's were only offered in .300 Savage caliber from 1952 to 1958. This rifle is 100% original and is in very good shape overall. The original factory blue finish would rate a solid 90% and most importantly has never been drilled and tapped for scope mounts. It is very rare that you find one of these centerfire pumps that hasn't been drilled and tapped, much less a first year production rifle that is 65 years old. This rifle has been hunted with and shot, and as such has some dings and scratches here and there and in the stock set as well. Mainly, the finish wear on the metal parts of the gun that is visible is high edge wear from carrying it and working the pump action. The forearm has a couple of small cracks in the right side that have been repaired and reinforced some time ago. They are not noticeable unless you look very closely or look from the inside of the forearm where the epoxy reinforcement has been added. I took a close up of the area so you can see in the pictures. Overall, the original Walnut stock set looks great and it is certainly solid and tight to the gun. The 22 inch barrel has a minty looking bore that is bright with strong rifling. The lands and grooves are sharp and prominent and there are no signs of erosion or pitting of any kind. The factory iron sights are in great shape and the rear sight still has the original elevator present. The original factory aluminum buttplate is good shape overall, tight to the gun with the typical black finish loss you often see on these models. It comes with an original factory magazine made for the .300 Savage caliber only in excellent condition. This 65 year old 1st year production Remington Model 760 Gamemaster is an American classic, and this is a rare opportunity to get one that has never had optics added to it and in a pretty scarce caliber to boot!
