The first pump action patent was issued
to Alexander Bain of Britain in 1854.
Winchester and Remington were the first
companies to successfully produce a pump-action rifle. The Winchester
lever-action rifle, however, surpassed the pump-action rifle in
popularity and when magazine fed semi-auto rifles were produced, the
pump-action was seen mostly for shotguns.
The Remington 7600 standard configuration in a long-range hunting rifle,
but with a tactical conversion it becomes quite a rapid firing
long-range rifle cycling faster and more easily with a foregrip than
a bolt-action.
It is available in the following
calibers: 270 Win, 30-06 Sprg, and 308 Win. The 30-06 cartridge is
still my favorite long-range caliber and the .50 caliber for tactical
sniper rifles.
The Remington 7600 chambered for 30-06
comes in either an 18-1/2-inch or 22-inch barrel and the other
calibers all have 22-inch barrels.
As I stated, the pump-action rifle has
some advantage of the bolt-action rifles. It can be used by left- and
right-handed users (ambidextrous), however, the casing is ejected out
the right side. As previously stated the cycle rate is more rapid.
Modern pump-action rifles like the
Remington 7600 features a detachable box magazine.
