I've been thinking about getting a Remington 7400, 740, or 742 in 30-06. What kind of accuracy could I expect compared to a bolt-action in the same caliber?

I think they are really missing a great opportunity by using these guns design and chambering them for shorter-range calibers. I would love to see a Remington carbine in 45-70, .44 mag, and the like. Ya know, an awesome gun for under 100 yard use, in carbine length.

I have let him know that he will be punished for this attitude, but that doesn't seem to bother him.

My daughter has the same attitude problem but she's learning! She can make excuses with the best of us. "Must have been a gust of wind downrange" "Darn mirage" "The powder scale must have gotten bumped"
I have a 7400 in 30/06 that shoots 3/4" with factory loads. I have also owned a 742 that did the same. Accuracy is not an issue in my opinion but they do have TERRIBLE triggers! The 7400 is not quite as bad. One nice thing about them is the recoil is not a sharp kick but rather a long push. Much gentler.....

Just remember it is your children that will choose your nursing home.
I have a 30-06 742 that I got from my dad about 20 years back. It was and still is quite accurate.
