RE: Who can tell me what about Remington pumps and autoloader rifles?
The Remington 760's were a nice pump gun. I have no experience with the newer Model 7600's.The Model 742 were given the name Jam Masters or Jam-O-Matics for a good reason. They were very unreliable.They were replaced by the 7400's which I have never and would never own.From posts on here they aren't much better.Of the guns you have mentioned I would definately go for the pump 7600.If you want a semi-auto save a little longer and invest in a Browning BAR.I have a old 760 I bought used in 30-06.It's accurate enough for hunting,but it's not a target rifle by any means.I really don't know how old mine is. It was a earlier model which wasn't drilled or tapped for a scope mount.No telling how many rounds have been through it. It's still a tight rifle.I did make a mistake and had the barrel cut down to 17". It still shoots pretty good though.
