Rem model 7400

I picked up a model 7400 syn in 270 cal. I hunt in river bottoms most of the time but there are feilds in the area where you could get a 300 yrd shot. The gun is a 2005, is this gun accurate enough to make a 300 yrd
shot if I do my part ?

Yes, very much so, the 7400 will win no long range competitions but it's accurate enough out to 500 yards. My wife's 280 (7400) will group most loads at 1.5" at 100 yards.

I've only had experience with two of these....one shot very good groups.....one couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if it was inside the barn.

OBVIOUSLY, since ALL RIFLES ARE INDIVIDUALS, the ONLY WAY your questioncan be answered correctly is to shoot your rifle at that distance and see! It is more likely to have that capability if you work up a good handload tailored to that rifle........

IF you intend to take shots at such ranges, you need a lot of practice shooting at that range and beyond, anyway. So it will be ammo well spent!

all of you ppl with rem. 7400's i would hang on to them because this year remington replace the 7400 with a new auto firing rifle called the model 750. just thought you all should know.

Hey I just picked one up from the WAL-MART in Conway N.H. in the 30-06 they said that they had them on clearence as last year was the last year that they were going to make them. Anyway I got the synthetc and blued model and only paid $327.00 for the gun. How could I pass that deal. They had one more in the 270 but I was a little low on bucks. Any way I brought it home and mounted a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9 scope on it and sighted it in. I can't belive how well this gun groups I get less then 1/2 at 100 yards from a bench. Thats the best group I have out of any of my other guns. And I just used the cheap Remmington Cor-Lot PSP 150 I can't wait till I can put some preamiam Ammo through it. I let you all know when I do and the results. Mike
