Rem 750WM bad rap
 
I own one and almost didn't buy one because of all the negative reviews on this gun... Well I'm glad I did...

This gun shoots pretty darn good for a semi auto...

I was watching a lot of you tube clip on this gun and the older semi auto rem made... I think it was the 740WM... Anyhow what I learned from this is that there are a lot of people in this country with guns that should be put in play pins at the rifle ranges!!!

I'm no gun expert but I do have a life long expierience with guns...

I think most of the prob come from people that just don't know much about guns...

Anyhow mine shoots good and I've had zero prob with it...


Thanks Remington for a good shooting rifle!!!

I am not familiar with the Model 750, however I own two of the "older" Remington Model 742. These were notorious for cycling issues, however the majority (at least that I dealt with either my own or buddy's Woodsmasters )were associated strictly with a poorly manufactured clip or inadequate cleaning.


Poor QA of the clips could, and in my case resulted in poor alignment which in turn caused jamming the action during the loading stroke. Not sure about clip issues cropping up with the Mod. 750.

The gas porting system was also an issue with the Mod. 742. The reasons were well understood and the remedy was simple. The gas porting path, the bolt locking surfaces and the chamber area foul readily due to the by products of the burned powder and effects of the heat on solvents and lubricants typically used to clean and protect firearm sufaces. These "parts" of the Model 742 had to be cleaned regularly and correctly. Failure to do so could result is spent round cases sticking or inadequate gas pressures needed to operate the action efffectively, each of which could in turn cause jamming. I suspect that the same maintenance will be required of the Mod. 750.

I really haven't shot a whole hell of a lot of ammo threw it but out of the 100 or so rounds no jams... I think Remington got the bugs out
