The Model 760 Gamemaster is a pump-action design with dual action bars and a rotating multi-lug bolt that locks into a barrel extension. This configuration gives the action a solid, positive lockup. The rifle features a 22-inch steel barrel with a free-floating setup and a blued finish throughout.
Factory open sights include a ramped front with a brass bead and an adjustable open rear leaf on the barrel, giving a clear sight picture out of the box. A 1-piece scope base is installed on the receiver for mounting if desired.
Production details are well-documented: the barrel date code "DH" decodes to September 1961 manufacture, and the barrel is marked "PATENT NO. 2,685,754 AND OTHERS." The rifle also bears the oval "REP" Remington proof. The serial falls within the pre-1968 Model 760 range, aligning with early-1960s production.
The walnut stock set is classic Gamemaster: straight-comb buttstock and a grooved walnut forend, both uncheckered. Installed sling-swivel studs and detachable swivels are present for carry. A ventilated recoil pad with a white-line spacer has been fitted, and the length of pull measures 13.0 inches.
This Model 760 uses a detachable box magazine design and is chambered in .30-06 Springfield. Capacity is listed as 1 round as configured. The blued steel receiver and barrel complement the walnut furniture for a traditional field-ready look.
