There has been several topics about the Remington semi auto's. They've received the name "JamMasters" for obvious reasons.Do yourself a favor. If you insist on a semi auto rifle spend the extra money and buy a Browning BAR. You won't regret it.Look into the archives on this forum,I'm sure getting a Rem 7400 will change after reading the comments.On occassions a good one is found but they are few and far between.
