Aug 4, 2015 · The 742's are known for the bolt rails to be scalloped out by the action throwing the bolt backwards after every shot. Basically they eat themselves... Rem supposedly made the receiver out of slightly softer material. And yeah the obvious choice in almost any situation is to just buy something better.. however I'd rather not do that.

Sep 20, 2011 · The Remington autos, 740, 742, 7400, and now 750 are hunting rifles. They are not designed to be, and never will be, a battle rifle. A few rounds to check zero prior to opening day, a few rounds to tag a deer, put it away till next year, and that's what they are designed for.

Jun 15, 2008 · It's a Remington 742. That's your problem! They were NOTORIOUS for ejector, trigger, and feed ramp problems. The bad part about all this is, Remington WILL NOT repair or replace them, replacement parts were never released by Remington, and are nonexistent unless your gunsmith has a spare "parts rifle" lying around, …

Apr 14, 2013 · As with the AR-15, the 742 and 7400 bolts lock to a barrel extension, not to the receiver proper. 7400 is not bad engineering, and doesn't wear the way the 742s did with high-pressure ammo. BTW, the 742s in .35 Remington and .300 Savage had a lot fewer problems than the .30-06 and .270 versions.

However from all 742's that I have seen, I presume that chambering is not common. I can't comment on any additional value for the chambering, but I can say that a model 742 in common .30-06 or .270 calibers would be about $350-$450 if in good or better condition.

Mar 22, 2019 · The 742 in 30-06 was the gun I used to hunt deer with my Dad, never saw that rifle after he and mom split up. If it is a good model rifle, I would like to get something to remind me of those times. I am not looking for a battle rifle, I have a few of those, I am looking for a good rifle chambered in 30-06 that will make meat, be accurate, and ...

Jan 16, 2012 · So I recently inherited a Remington 742 woodsmaster 30-06. everything on it looks great despite its age. Even came with an original leupold scope! I was told it was only ever used to bag deer and had maybe 30 rounds through it in the last 30 years or so.

I was wondering what the valve of this Remington Model 742 150th Anniversary 1816-1966. Woodmaster with Gold enlay, never fired, NEVER SN232530 with a 30-06 sprg (1) #3 88pN 33 on Barrel with no scope is worth.
