X2!!!! Yall wouldn't believe how many remington model 742/7400s I've had in shop over the years for repair,usually for cyling issues due to the iffy gas system. I've had nothing but excellent experience with the bars. The new remington model 750 is SUPPOSED to address this problem by moving the gas port a lil distance-thus more consistant pressure for action cyling. Yes,I know there's thousands of remmy autos that work good,but if nothing was wrong,why would they change it?

If you can get a good deal, I'd get it just because it's a BAR. I like the BAR far better than the Remington 7400/750. My brother has the 750 Woodsmaster in .270 with wood furniture, and he really likes it and says it's reliable, but I've heard too many stories of feed jam and magazine problems with the 750's for me to trust it. The BAR's are rock solid, especially the Safari grade version. I want one really bad...where did you see this rifle?
