I had a 7400 in a .270 for 10 years. I have very mixed opinons about this rifle. If I had the old red box federal 130 gr. shells it shot without a problem and good accuracy . If I shot remington shells it would jam every shot . After reloading several rounds I could never make one that wouldnt jam. So back to the ferderals and no problem. I was hunting opening morning of 2001 with it and the buck of a life time appered from no where about 10 yrds under my stand . The deer was so close i had a hard time seeing him in my scope. (4x12x40) I looked at him with my eye and then in my scope thought i was on chest and squezzed the trigger I hit him high . I needed another shot he went about 30 yards and stopped , when I pulled up to shoot it never put another round in the chamber. Yes I should of waited but I got caught in moment and rushed but that does'nt excues the rifle. That was the last hunting trip for my 7400 it is now history.
