    What did Remington do when they converted from the previous semiautomatic 7400 to the 750. My gunsmith will not even work on the 7400s, I have had one since I graduated from Boot Camp, never had any problems with it. But everyone calls it Jammatic, so what did Remington change in the gas system or is it just cosmetic. I am a Remington guy, and would like to give it a chance if its a true new design.
    Thanks

    Hi Jaxx12,

    Welcome to the forum's here on Gunbroker.com.

    Yes, I have some thoughts about Big Green's 750. With their track record being not good with that style auto-loader, I would NOT entertain the idea of owning one myself. The past has shown their model's 740, 742, 7400, and model Four with a very spotty history. Not reliable, and very finicky.

    If you want a hunting type auto-loader, then the Browning BAR, Long/Short trak, or the Winchester SXR are the way to go.

    Best

    jaxx12---I have a brand new 750---243 back to Rem. as we speak. First two round---failed to eject because the ejector pin is stock in the bolt face, in a flush position. They've had it for a month. Horse!&*&%#!

    Thanks for the advise - just stopped at my local gun shop and looked at the browning. They feel the same way about the 750.
