RE: another dilemma
The remington line of semiauto 742/7400/750 rifles has in the past been plagued with problems mostly stemming from the gas system. I wish I had a 100$ bill for every 1 of these that's been brought to me over the years with complaints of not cycling properly (sometimes with different weight of bullets) or lack of accuracy. Sure,most of them just needed a good cleaning of the gas port and light lubing but for the money they cost,better,more reliable performance is required. A few people luck out with a fairly accurate rifle but the design just don't lend itself to optimum accuracy. The bolt is multilug and locks up directly in barrel(good),however the barrel is simply held in reciever with a 3/4 nut(bad). In designing the model 750,they tried to solve this problem of poor cyling by moving the gas port closer to the chamber for more consistant operating pressure. Time will tell.
As to the bar being too light,that's not a problem with the conventional steel reciever "safari" bar as they weigh close to 7 1/2 to 8 pounds without scope. It's when you start looking at the aluminum recievered bar lightweight,carbine,shortrac,and longtrac that they are lighter. Also,the excellently designed gas system of the bar does a decent job of reducing the recoil somewhat. Whatever you choose-good luck! Neil
