Remington Model 760 Gamemaster BDL .270 Win. Pump-Action Rifle, 22-Inch Barrel, 1968 Production
Made in November 1968, this Remington Model 760 Gamemaster BDL pairs a smooth pump-action design with the flat-shooting .270 Winchester cartridge. The rifle carries the distinctive BDL trim—basket-weave checkering, white-line spacers, and a Monte Carlo walnut stock—while its alloy receiver keeps weight down. A 22-inch blued carbon-steel barrel, detachable 3-round magazine, and factory iron sights round out a classic North American hunting platform that remains uncommon on today’s market.

The Model 760 shares its twin action-bar layout with the renowned Remington 870 shotgun, delivering fast follow-up shots and reliable cycling. Unlike its semi-automatic sibling, the Model 742, this pump gun offers manual control while still using the same bolt and barrel extension geometry for strong lock-up.
The alloy receiver is drilled and tapped at the factory and currently fitted with plug screws, giving owners flexibility for future sighting options without detracting from the rifle’s clean lines. Triangle and “REP” oval proofs remain visible on the blued metal surfaces.
The 22-inch barrel is the standard length for the Model 760, confirming that this is not the scarcer carbine variant. Chambered in .270 Winchester, it delivers flat trajectories suitable for deer, antelope, and similar game across open country.
Furniture consists of walnut with a gloss lacquer finish. The Monte Carlo comb and cheek-piece assist with proper eye alignment, while the impressed basket-weave panels provide secure grip on both the stock and pump forend.
A cross-bolt safety, iron sights with a drift-adjustable ramp front and folding rear leaf, and a 13.5-inch length of pull complete a package that balances classic styling with field practicality.
