I have a old remington 760 30-06 with a pachmayr lo pro scope mount! I need to remove the scope mount! I pulled the two screws on the mount but it does not move! This is gun was made in 53 so it dosent have the drilled reciever, this is a side mount! Love the set up but it needs a 7/8 scope so I need it Off ! Would they have used lock tight some were? Is it just Stuck? I have LITELY tapped it I Even Pryed a little I am going open sites this year

Try heating it up with a hair dryer.

I have googood images of the 760. This included spec drawings. They show 4 scope mount holes tapped in the top. Double check for recessed screws in the top. They may be practically hidden after all these years. All else fails, call either Pachmyr or Remington and they can help. It could also be possible that the side plate is rusted to the side of the receiver. If so, you will have to put some serious pressure on it to pry it off.
