got a 7400 in '06 and have put 250 rounds through and never a problem. my grandpa bout a 742 the first year they came out and uses it every year deer hunting and then for coyotes and on a few elk hunts great gun shoulders like a 870 and shoots good in terms of deer guns which they mainly are pinpoint isnt necisary but they will easily put a deer on the ground. most problems are not the gun but the owner clean it and it wont fail you.
