I won a 7400, in 270 Win. It shot around 1 MOA, and I never
had a cycling problem with mine. BUT, after doing some
research as to why Remington 742/7400s have reliability
issues, I learned they slowly beat themselves to jam-o-matic
state. So as a low round count hunting rifle, they may have
a life time or two of reliable operation. Unfortunately I
don't own "low round count" rifles very long. I shoot a lot,
so I sold my pretty Remington 7400 to my brother, who is a box
of ammo every few years, kind of guy. I wanted to trade it on
a Browning BAR Lightweight Stalker in 308 Win. The gun store
low balled the trade-in value, so I told my brother what the
store had offered, and sold it to him for that. He got a
deal, and I paid cash for the new Browning. If you want a
reliable semi-auto hunting rifle, that will stay reliable, for
many years, buy a Browning BAR.
