Remington Model 760 Gamemaster .270 Win Pump-Action Rifle – Early 1950s, 22-Inch Barrel, Walnut Stock
This early-production Remington Model 760 Gamemaster pairs the company’s smooth pump-action design with the less common .270 Winchester chambering. Built in the 1950s before serial-number prefixes were added, it features a 22-inch steel barrel, factory iron sights, and classic walnut furniture. Collectors will appreciate its 14-lug rotating bolt—shared with the contemporary Model 740 autoloader—and a receiver already drilled and tapped for optics.

What’s Included
- Remington Model 760 Gamemaster pump-action rifle chambered in .270 Win (no magazine)
The Model 760 Gamemaster was Remington’s first centerfire pump rifle, designed to offer quick follow-up shots with familiar shotgun-style handling. This example retains its original 22-inch blued steel barrel and matching blued receiver.
The .270 Winchester chambering is far less common in early Model 760 production, adding interest for both shooters and collectors who value rarity within a well-known platform.
Its walnut stock and fore-end display period-correct checkering and are capped with a ventilated recoil pad that stretches the length of pull to 14 inches. The wood shows honest handling marks consistent with field use, yet remains structurally sound.
Factory iron sights consist of a ramped front blade and an adjustable step-elevator rear leaf. For those preferring optics, the receiver is factory drilled and tapped, allowing straightforward scope installation without gunsmithing.
The rugged 14-lug rotating bolt locks securely into a steel barrel extension, a system celebrated for strength and reliability. Combined with the smooth pump action, it delivers fast cycling while maintaining solid accuracy potential.
