i have a 7400/.270 and if i didn't inherit that gun i would get rid of it. it doesn't function well all of the time, and it's accuracy is okay, i guess. but, not to my liking. my browning BAR is by far more reliable and more accurate. i would much rather have a 7600 than a 7400. one of these days i may get a 7600 synthetic carbine to use as a rainy day beater gun. and, to have something different. personally i would look at something else. i know some people have good luck with the 7400's, but it seems that i've heard more bad than good.
