The Remington Model 760 is a pump action rifle that was first introduced in 1952. It was replaced in 1981 by the improved Model 7600, which was offered in 'sportsman' design with wooden furniture, and 'tactical' design with black synthetic forearm and buttstock. The "Police Model" of the 7600 shortened the Barrel from 22.5" to 16.5" and moved the rear sight from the barrel (above the foregrip) to the back of the receiver. In addition to the Model 7600 Police, Remington has also produced a 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington version of the Model 7600P called the Model 7615P. Unlike other Model 7600 rifles, the Model 7615P has a magazine well designed to accept M16/AR-15 rifle magazines.

The rifle also became infamous as the rifle that was used to assassinate Martin Luther King Jr.

The rifle is chambered for the following calibers:

• .243 Winchester
• .270 Winchester
• 7.62x51mm NATO(.308 Winchester)
• .30-06 Springfield
• 5.56x45mm NATO (.223 Remington)
