Default RE: Remington 7400

I have the same rifle in 06, also. I think for hunting under 200 yd and go rest it's certain a good job for deer. The only time it gave me any issues was if I lubbed it a little too much in very cold weather (sub-zero) or when I tried using gun oil with teflon in it, which seemed to get a bit gummy in that cold weather.
After a couple years of shotting, if you have any issue with the bolt picking up the cartridges out of the mag., throw the old mag away and go buy another for that model for $20 at a gun shop. There's just something about the mags that they wear out after so many rounds. Not a big deal.

With a reasonably good scope on it, you'll have yourself a reliable autoloader.

If you plan to be hunting in more open ranges out to 300 yds., I'd choose one a several fine bolt actions that'll be consistently within 1 MOA.
