Sounds like a good price if it is in good condition. See if you can test fire it a couple of times before you buy.

The thing to look out for in the 742 is ejection problems.

Also if you buy it I would suggest a professional cleaning including having the firing chamber polished.

I have a 742 .30-06 (brand new in 1961) that has served me well. I killed my firstdeer with it when I was 10 years old. The only problems have been ejection issues.

But, thanks to the forum, I have learned have to avoid those.
