Remington semi-auto rifles...

i would not buy a semi auto rifle.
next time around the liberals will outlaw all semi auto guns in private hands.
confiscation without compensation is the wod of the day!
and yes, they will win an election based on a gun-restricting policy.

"WOW" I missed this post especially the election prediction... :slap:

Don't be to sure about the Lieberals, they have far more damage cantrol to come up with before the majority of the sheep that vote for them will start looking at them favorably during an election again.

What is the difference between all the Remington semi-auto rifle models?? I have seen the: 7400, 740, 742, 750, all with names like the Woodsmaster and Sportsman.

I need a good used semi-auto in .30/06 for deer and moose, which one should I be targeting? Thanks

The different model numbers are (IMO) marketing ploys to try and make people think they have solved the jambing that has plagued these models since they were introduced.
True, some do not jamb, if you happen to get a good one, they make excellent bush rifles.
Beware however, there are a hell of a lot of jam-o-matic Remingtons out there.
 
The 742 .740 has 13 locking slots cut onto the bolt(lower cal less wear)the 7400 two(?)locking lugs on bolt better relibility!

I had a 742 in .243 that worked every time(but it wasn't very used)I sold it!

Bob:weird:
 
I have a buddy(auto-loading rifle nut) who has a couple of these. At the range one day, I asked him about reliability(due to all the negatives I hear about these) he stated that his .308 worked very well, but his .270 was a problem child, both were 7400 series as I recall. I have no idea about the 750s.

Actually, i'd be inclined to buy a semi just because of that reason.

You may as well send your firearms to me and save yourself the embarassment of having the nasty things. Just PM me the details and we can get the transfers started!
 
It seems a best seller around here is a "good" pump or semi auto Remington until they come back from their expensive Northern Quebec Caribou hunt and had to fill their Tags with a buddy's bolt action.

Again most dont' clean and use just about any ammo, some will borrow a friend's gun and sight in on a caribou :runaway: but Im not gonna blame that on Remington.

That's been my take on it as of late up here.
 
actually, the best bang for your buck is still the rinco 305- roughly half the cost of the remmy or browning, new, and relaible as all get out- i've got both a 742 and a browning bar, but the browning is in 338 win mag, so it's different calibers for different jobs- but the rifle that's still most often in my scabbard is a savage 99- the rinco is just a little too big and heavy unless you're shooting from a blind or fixed spot-

Don't go putting the pumps in the same category as the semis.I never once had a pump fail me,nore have I seen one fail anyone else for that matter.I would carry a pump gun anywhere in Canada without any worries about its reliability.
 
If you like a pump action shotgun, a pump action rifle is a natural. All the guys here that love lever action, more power to them. I can't follow a moving target racking a lever, but a pump works great. Lots of fun following a bouncing bunny with my Win. 61 before I left S. ON.
