Default RE: Remington 742 30-06

The remington semiautos have been cursed with a couple weak areas so I wouldn't buy 1 UNLESS you have a chance to shoot it FIRST. The first is they are prone to malfunction from design of their gas operation and gas port. Secondly the extractors on them are little spring steel affairs that are riveted in. Lastly,the accuracy widely varies from rifle to rifle. Try it out first before buying it.
