".. Got back from RVN in 1972. K-Mart was selling Remington 742’s in 30-06 for $139.95. Wish I’d picked one up.

Today, that rifle would be worth $45.

Be happy you didn't get your wish.

Hmm....the 7400 series has over the years had many quality control & reliability problems. They don’t sell for all that much on gunbroker.com.

Was the earlier Model 740 better, as in `if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’? Or was the larger problem one of making a single receiver for both pump & semi-auto?
