Good luck everyone! I'll have my boys out there EARLY...guess they'll get broken in quick!....Now....off to Waly World for more hot hands...maybe they have a body suit out by now!

Did some work for me as well....A+

Thanks for Sharing! VERY moving...VERY True!

John....so where do you do most of your "smithing?" Always good to know a knowledgable person in the business. I was surprised to hear you say as far as the loading from the mag since the manual says from the chamber. Also, I understand in regards to the longevity of the 7600 mag for the 7400 but as far as cleaning and maintenance...how are you keeping the bolt back? Are there significant feeding benefits to the 7600 mag over the 7400? Also, from your experience, what type of ammo did you find to be the most "user friendly" for the .270 (gr, and sp vs. psp) and what were the main issues that you found as far as areas of concern regarding the reliability of the 7400. Always good to know what to keep an eye out for and other areas that need a little extra attention. As far as the cycling problems mentioned in number #15 & #16 above...other than the Remington being less than stellar and buying a Browning...what does your experience in working on the 7400's tell you regarding this issue?

Pick you up a rifled barrel for the 500 w/ the cantilever scope mount...will run sabots thru with good accuracy...found them for my boys from buds for $150 ea....work really well...

Its doing that exact same thing...cleaned her really well and used some break-free...hopefully shell loosen up...could it not be enough energy to cycle?...using Rem exp 130 gr core-lok...

Bought 2 of the 88's for my boys in 20 ga. Picked up the 500 rifled slug barrels w/scopes from Buds for $150 and they are hunting sabots with them this year...$350 invested for a pump shotgun and a weapon to hunt deer with...not bad! They have been 100% reliable...good value for the $

Welcome from Gallatin as well!

Thanks ibavol.....Hoping to hit the range on Monday or Tuesday to check the "o" and get ready for the 22nd! I will pick up a couple of boxes of some others as well but...from what the previous owner said, and your 20 yrs exp with the weapon...that might be good enough!

Thanks for all of the input guys...I picked up the 7400 in .270 yesterday. Great condition, cylinder VERY clean, action VERY smooth, nothing major cosmetic-wise, Scope in like new condition w/great sight pic...very happy overall. Now for you 742 and 7400 owners out there.....what the favorite meal? I need input on what you have found to be the most effective cartridge for your weapon...only 742 and 7400 experiences here...The previous owner said the 130 g Remington Core-lokt was what he used.....what are the thoughts out there.....thanks

Phillip...what type of repairs do you see mostly on these weapons?

Anything in particular I should look for?

Hey guys...need input and opinions....I have a tight budget for a deer rifle this year ($400) and have found a couple local that I need some input on. I really like the Remington Auto-loaders and know that they can be tempormental if not kept clean...should not be an issue as I am very methodical with my guns. So, first is a 7400, .270, synthetic w/ matte finish, 4-10x40 Simmons scope (1 yr old) w/ see thru mounts...guy wants $350. Second is a 742, 30-06, carbine (18 1/2" barrel), wood stock, 3-9x? Bushnell scope on see thrus w/ sling ($350)....I need opinions on these weapons as well as things to look for...I am meeting on the .270 tomorrow,...all and any input is appreciated....

Thanks guys...appreciate the info...should have done a little more research before posting...oh yea...Im now at 14!...or is it 15!

Quick question....I have noticed that my post count hasn't moved lately...not that I am watching all that closely but had a slug barrel that I wanted to post but was shy of the 50 required to post in the classifieds...so, I replied to a few posts...welcomed a few new members...still at 13....any insight on that?

Welcome...great site!

Welcome to the site!

Welcome to the site!

Welcome...this is a great site!

Knee surgery keeps me at a fast walk on the treadmill....no sodas...no eating after 6:00 pm...no fried foods...lots of grilled fish and chx and some red meat to keep protein levels up....plenty of veggies and Mega Man Sport from GNC. I try to weight train 3-4 times a week as muscle burns more cal and keeps the metab up longer...1st week was the hardest but when I started seeing results it gets motivating

Must be getting a little quicker;)

Ya'll save some for Gun season!

Congrats...we couldnt get close enough for the shot...wrong side of the field @ sunrise...could have sat on the hood of the truck and been 25 yds away....oh well.....we'll be around in November though

Carrying G27 right now...wish the 229 was a little lighter...love the SIG! Heaview clothes and jackets may allow for more opportunities

My bro-in-law just had to send his back to the factory as well...only 54 rds down the pipe.....
