Oh, I get it now, Gun Site, a place.
I don't know why these off-beat hunting rifles cause me to take a second look. Another that interested me at the time was when Winchester (USRA) came out with a Model 70 that had a detachable five shot magazine. That was very different for a Model 70.
Still another one is the Remington line based on the 760 Gamemaster pump rifle that they did kind of "assault" versions of, police guns, if you will. Model 7615, IIRC. Black plastic stocks (of course), some with pistol grips, some without. The one I was interested in was .223 and took AR-15 magazines. I've heard that they made these in .308 Win. also but I don't think they are made anymore.
One guy told me he thought these were made more for states where AR's couldn't be owned than for police use.
The 760 first came out in 1952 or thereabouts. In those early guns, they made a few .222 Rems and later .223 Rems which were collectible. I've owned a .35 Rem and a couple of .30-06's, liked them all. The idea of having a .223 with 20 round mag. amused me. But you might as well get an AR for that stuff.
