I have to say that I have never own a Bolt rifle from remington. Had a nice 870 wing master once. I will say this,The stamped out 1100s and the 742s and 7400 would make better Boat paddles that hunting Rifles. Got turned away from Remington after those rifles. Spent more time getting them un hung, than shooting them. They also make great rattleing sounds if you shake them. If it were not for them, I might have tried a 700. Just my 2 cents.
