RE: Remington 742 Woodsmaster......
hahaha did you hvae the saftey off?? i mean i dunno if it was that big of a deer maybe you werent thinking clearly?? lol
we have a couple 742's and they hahve never had an issue but we have also had a couple in the collection that did and a while back you could send it to remington and a small amount of $ and they would send you a brand new 7400/7600 your choice of caliber. that deal is obviously non existant now. you can tell usually how hard the 742s have been shot by looking in the reciever behind the bolt. there will be 5 little divets. they all do it some worse then others
