I agree, for some reason I'm just faster with the pump, and that's after spending quite a bit of time shooting CAS with a lever.BTW Im not a lever gun fan.
Pumps seem natural, trigger hand doesnt move.

The 7615 was supposed to do just that I think. Seen pictures but never saw one in "the wild" though.Not unless they ban semi automatic rifles and I think that could happen .
If they do I suspect they will be black plastic “tactical” junk that I would have zero interest in.
And yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up being stainless and plastic, with a tac rail to boot.
Can get ARs in deer cartridges way cheaper.
Good point user error is underestimated when folks are told just buy a pump gun and rack it. However, with levers - stroking can be the same hiccup. I saw a guy bring a lever to a carbine match. That's fun for grins - however, he wasn't up to speed and continually screwed up the stroking. Saw a guy shoot a match with a bolt gun - he was up to speed and amazingly fast for that platform but wouldn't be my choice after WW I.My guess is the reliability issue w pump rifles is the same as with pump shotguns....user error.

I own the same rifle. Its a dandy rifle and I think if it were in the more common 30-30 it might have stuck arounda little longer. In the woods where shots are under 100 yards and typically 30-70 it would still be a fine rifle. Mine has family history so its not going anywhere, but likely won't get used eitherI own a 103 year old Remington model 14 in 30 rem.
Hard to “Like” a post that lists regrets… but I agree with the sentiment as I have had sellers remorse a couple of times myself.I have owned a 760 and a 7615 and regret selling both of them. If I found another Remington pump at a reasonable price I would buy it. I really screwed the pooch selling that 7615.
Pump-action AR-15's might become a legal workaround, depending on how future ban legislation is worded. Although unpleasant, it's good to think about these contingencies.
The following are generally prohibited:[3][4]
- Fully automatic or burst-fire weapons, which may include some air guns.
- Semi-automatic or pump-action rifles that fire center-fire ammunition.
- Manually actuated release system rifles (MARS) and lever release rifles (not to be confused with lever action).
With the number of states which already have bans or heavy restriction in place that the demand would already exist, however it doesn't at this time. People would rather work diligently to massage the definitions than switch platforms which should give a good indication of how few folks actually want to see them make a comeback.I hope not, because the only way I see it happening is if semi-autos were banned. If that occurs I think we'd see a huge push in new designs for manually articulated actions of various sorts, but that's not something I'm willing to give up to see that development.

Hope you can find one to bring home!
Stay safe.
User error/ short stroking a pump gun is something I can not wrap my head around.My guess is the reliability issue w pump rifles is the same as with pump shotguns....user error
