I'm wondering if your 760 is an older version (fifties era) or a "newer" model. If it's the earlier rifle it likely has a lower drop on the stock and is configured more for iron sights than for scopes. You can use a scope on the older models but the stock to cheek "weld" won't be as comfortable or as efficient.
