Thanks.

FWIW
Speaking of cleaning my 7600 involves one hell of a performance. It's not for the faint-hearted

It'd be about the same as cleaning an Adler. From what I can tell. One takedown screw. Remove slider tube and barrel, done.

Obviously for a more in depth clean you'd punch some pins out but, that's like once a year thing if at all. And maybe scrub the chamber... Meh. Non issue.

axio, thanks. This is encouraging.

I was thinking about cleaning... Can the barrel be removed, by unscrewing the bottom slider tube thing, sort of like on the Adler. Or do you have to punch pins out and remove trigger housing etc?

Yep you can do either, this guy has a good teardown

Most of the time i'll just run the boresnake down and scrub inside without pulling stuff apart

Looks pretty easy to remove barrel which means you can buy a 300 blackout barrel and fit that to change calibre which might be legal for deer.

I like firearms with easy to change barrels for calibre changes, also makes it easy to change when they wear out.

Actually.... I have played with modern, pump action centrefire rifles... And it's not a stalking gun. Too clunky, not ergonomic at all to carry in one hand, etc. I loooove big and clunky, they are just not good deer guns in my opinion. A nice, lite, streamlined bolt action, with hunter barrel, imho, is a perfect deer stalking gun. Pump is not any of those things. In my opinion.

I've still got it.

Still fun?

Still a lot of fun.

I've had the 223 7615 for 5 years. It's reliable, fast to fire, has typical battle sights although I have a Holosun red dot on mine. The only thing this rifle needs is a trigger job. The stock trigger is too heavy. It takes regular AR15 magazines and I've found the Israeli plastic CCA mags to be the most reliable in both this and the Warwick bolt action.
I don't hunt but frankly if you do this would be one hell of a successful feral killer. Quick to aim, fast pump cycling while staying on target. The pump works best with firm rapid cycling.
Don't know anything about a 300Blackout barrel for it.
If you are looking at supreme long distance (150+ metres) accuracy this is not your rifle.

Hi all

Been thinking about replacing my 223 with a Remington 7615 pump action. Besides that it takes 300AAC barrel, I'm wondering if anyone has any feedback on it.

Thanks, vmaxaust.
