Having wonderful accuracy with my grandfather's old M-19, I really grew to like the 30-06 caliber, but didn't care for the weight of the M-19. Now, several years later, and without review before purchase, a neighbor of mine in ill health is selling off his sixty year collection of rifles. The one that caught my eye was his 742 Rem. Woodsmaster. Needless to say, $300 later, I am excited about the purchase and eager to put a scope on it and see if it does as well for me hunting whitetail as my Marlin 30-30. However, I am a little concerned over the "jamming factor" as posted here. Other than keeping it clean and not too heavy on the oil, any suggestions? Or did I make a really bad purchase?

Another question, is will most 7400 scope mounts fit the 742?...most gun shops around here have teenagers who don't a clue!

Thanks.
