Not to make any Remington auto Rifles mad, but I once had a 742 in 3006. It was ok for a while, then started jamming,shooting all over the place and the fireing pin would hit the primer when you loaded the rifle. Got tired of all the new clips,cleaning etc. I went and got me a Browning Bar in 30.06. That was 20 years ago and over a 100 Deer later. If you want a good auto, just compare the two. Slide the actions back and you will feel the differents. Longest shot was 200yds. To thick here in most places to get many shots longer. It did make a good boat paddle.
