Blue - to put it bluntly - those guys at that gun shop are idiots. You certainly can put a scope on a Rem 742. And you sight it in the same way you would any rifle/scope. Just be sure you rest the forearm on the bags and not the barre. (this goes for sighting in any rifle).
I suggest you find another gun shop with employees that have some intelligence.
I agree...
Over the years, we've had (5) 742's here, and we scoped all of them. The one i still have, is accurate and reliable...
