The Remington model 76, 760, 7600 and model 6 was know for decades as the Pennsylvania rifle. It was a pump action version of the The Remington model 74, 740, 7400 and model 4 Semi automatic rifle that was popular here in the north east for the dense woods and thickets where a quick second shot was often needed to break through enough brush and quickly to take down your deer.
This is not western open vista hunting where you take your sweet time aiming and squeezing of slowly. It can happen quick and then your options are gone.
BTW I like my relatively quick Marlin lever gun

Well said, I am primarily a Western hunter and also a Weatherby snob but I see your point. And from my experience with Wisconsin deer hunters the favorite rifle is a Remington semi in 30-06.

Agreed...in my camp you would get a quick argument that the 35 Marlin is
THE Pennsylvania hunting rifle...lol I like my .300 Savage just fine.
