i beg to differ, the 760,s and 7600,s are strong. they just don,t have the camming action of the bolt for extraction but will take a massive overload. i looked at a 7600 in 243 that was overloaded with h-110,thinking it was h-380. the magazine was blown clear, the case head was welded in bolt head and the reviever sides were bowed but the shooter never got any gas in his face at all and all that was hurt was his pride and his rifle. i don,t think he would have fared any better with a bolt action rifle. here is my rem. 7600 carbine in 3006 with rem. model 6 wood and 2x7 leupold scope, there is no better woods rifle for me. it shoots constant 1.5-2.0 inch groups at 100yds and i don,t mean with reduced loads either. eastbank.
