Ask any gunsmith what single rifle would they not own themselves and the vast majority would tell you a Remington auto loader. Be it a 740, 742 or 7400. You couldn't give me one or any.

We are constantly getting all three models in our shop for cycling problems. Some of them are because of not cleaning or "cleaning" with too much oil. Some are because the locking lugs have beat up the frame rails, some are because of the bolt head wearing out and not unlocking from the lug seats, Some are from parts breaking, etc... etc...

If you want an auto loading rifle then get a Browning BAR or short/ long track or Benelli R1.


FWIW we very seldom get a 7600 in the shop for problems other than stupid gun owners doing something stupid to the gun.
