The Remington Model 7600 is a series of pump-action centerfire rifles made by Remington Arms. The Model 7600 is a progression from the original Model 760 pump-action rifle which Remington produced from 1952 to 1981.[1] Production of the Model Six began in 1981 and was discontinued in 1987.[1] Production of the Sportsman model 76 began in 1985 and was discontinued in 1987.[2] Production of the model 7600 began in 1987 to present.[2]

Variants

There are a number of variants of the Model 7600 which Remington has manufactured over the years.

Model 7600
Introduced in 1981, the standard version is fitted with a conventional wood walnut stock.[4]
Model 7600 Synthetic
Introduced in 1998, the synthetic model is identical to the standard 7600 except that it has a matte black synthetic stock.[5]
Model 7600 Carbine
Re-Introduced in 1987, the carbine version is available in .30-06 fitted with a 18½ barrel.[4]
Model 7600 Special Purpose
Offered from 1993 to 1994, the Special Purpose model featured a non-glare finished walnut stock, a matte black finish and sling swivels.[4]
Model 7600P Patrol Rifle[6]
Introduced in 2002, the Model 7600P Patrol Rifle in .308 Winchester featuring an advanced sight system. Answering the call for a low profile, user-friendly patrol rifle, Remington now offers this durable, pump-action rifle for standard duty use.[6] It features a black synthetic stock with sling studs and Wilson Combat ghost-ring rear sights.[4]
Model 7615 Police Patrol Rifle[7]
The Model 7615P comes in .223 Remington caliber, uses standard M16/AR-15 style STANAG magazines and has a 16½" barrel. Just like the Model 7600P, the Model 7615P is designed to be a low-profile, user-friendly firearm for police officers to use alongside the Remington Model 870 shotgun.[7]

Features

Buttstocks
The 7600 and 7615 models use a similar sized receiver as the 20-gauge version of the 870 shotgun, and thus share a cross-compatibility of buttstocks. However, buttstocks made for the more common 12-gauge version of the Remington 870 will usually not fit.
Barrel
The 7600 and 7615 models feature a free floated barrel[8] attached to the receiver using a 1⁄4 inch (6.35 mm) UNF bolt screw for enhanced accuracy (contrary to the Model 760 and Model 870 which are not free floated).
Bolt
To aid extraction, the 7600 has a two lug bolt design as an improvement from the multi-lugged bolt on previous models such as the 760.
