Happy Thanks giving folks!
I have a chance to pick up a Rem 742
in 308 . Has anyone had any experience
with these rifles?
Thanks

I had a 06 from the 50's. Not sure at this late date, if it was a 742 or an earlier model? Shot it at 100 with commercial ammo. Was sorely disappointed. Accuracy seemed to be in the AK 47 category. Got rid of it.
No problems so far. Still shoots 1 1/2 at 100 [^]
on the inside top of the receiver
and the rails don't appeared to be chewed
up.
We'll see as soon as I can find time to bench
it out back.
Thanks
Been their with the 742's and they are aggravators, now lots of obsolete NLA parts, and if the receiver area is bad the whole barrel and receiver is made together. Just because it operates good at the test bench when firing does not mean it's a good gun. Been their done that! If you've ha had a good gun with a smooth operating trigger pull you will immediately junk a 742 or not buy one. Lousy trigger pull and junk.
AND I'm talking about guns that were bought new and well taken care of, not mistreated.
and by the way I like guns.
If Obama wants to really hurt us and not take away our guns he should request that all of us be required to only have Remington 742's, as many as you want. (and no knifes or bows and arrows or any other weapons)

BTW... "their" s/b "there"
The barrel comes off the receiver.
I guess you have an intense dislike for them Okie.

Don't really matter: You still have a POS in each hand when it does separate.
Just trying to save you some aggravation.
If you buy one (742) you will remember my opinion eventually. (it's a happening thing kinda like riding a motorcycle)
