Remington 7400 in .270
I've wanted a .270 for some time now. I have the 742 in the 30-.06, and it is OK, and I understand that all the eventual wear-down problems were resolved when the 7400 was introduced. I've come into a chance to buy a 7400 in the .270, walnut stock, scoped (cheap scope), case, and a Mossberg Plinkster (new) for $450 (two guns for the price). The 7400 looks nice, is the caliber I want, feels OK, a few small scratches on the stock. Alternatively, for the same price, I can get the 700 w/ scope and cammo stock (Wal Mart). The semi automatic reduces recoil (some), but I want to make the better choice. Two guns or one with a great history. One is new (wally-world), the two for one price are at a Pawn shop, but a very trustworthy owner. Any inputs? Otherwise, my cabinet consists of a Marlin 30-30, Mossberg .243, Mossberg 20 g pump, a couple of really old 22LRs, the 742, and the family's M19A3. Bolt action? Semi auto? Decisions, decisions...
