Ok guys does the 35 whelen jamm like alot (some) of the 7400 did?
I had two of these 7400 in 30-06 both jammed. Cleaned them and kept them dry.
When it got wet hunting boom, jamm,:mad: Are these 750 any better and does the .35 Whelen work well in the new 750 rifle.. I would love a 35 whelen semi but are they (hunting) reliable? This comming from a bolt action lover:redface:

Tikka.

I'm the second owner of a 35Whelen M750 carbine. The previous owner (CGNer) and myself found it to be totally reliable - no failure to fire yet with any loads used - http://35cal.com/loading.html#750

Once owned a M7400 factory 35 Whelen rifle and it functioned perfectly well too - http://35cal.com/loading.html#7400

Even a bolt gun can have rounds it won't feed reliably - too short/long or nose profile wrong. A semi will too. Some Rem semi issues can go away if swap magazines I've heard.

However with your bad experiences with Rem semis I'd say maybe they are not for you. Never heard of the getting it wet and then jam - ??? I've used mine only in fairly good weather so far.
 
Yep failure to feed...
My gun was a 7400 in 30-06 It was a jammomatic.
What did Remington do to improve the 750 over the 7400.
Are the 750 better?

No problems with the 2- 750 35 Whelen's carbines I owned. Swamped cartridges a few times when new but a couple boxes later no issues. Just needed broken in.
 
Tikka all my Remington autos were 100% reliable. Still have a 7400 in .30-06. I just typed my life history from the past concerning my observations on these but i deleted it all and crunched it to this,.Semper Fideliora, meaning..." always reliable".:)
 
Semi autos can be tricky to load for...factory ammo failure to feed can be a combination of clip or chamber fouled. I used to use a chamber brush a lot in my 742. The most annoying part of rem auto's is their cap gun triggers.I think a browning would be the way to go or a benelli.

Clean chamber is a fact, and many well shot guns that were second or third hand never had this cleaning done and bingo,... stoppage. In our area I never heard the term Jamomatic on the Remington's. I helped develop load's for a few finicky Browning long action BAR's, especially .270's though, trying to remove their gas system gremlin's.

IMO they are pretty much more of the same - although Remington made much ado about their upgrades.

Essentially they are a 7400 with a few changes/improvements that include R3 pad, teflon (?) coated bolt/action internals, gas port alterations (moved closer to action and larger port I believe) for more reliable cycling, new stock design with foreend restyled with sling studs included.

I bought and installed a new M7400 syn stock set on mine - no mods were needed.
 
I've heard from a local retailer that the 35 Whelen in the 750 is the most reliable chambering. I kind of think that maybe Remington hasn't jetted enough gas in some of the lighter calibers to make the gas system work well. Whenever you year about one being a jammomatic it's NOT one chambered in 35 Whelen.
