While browsing through Cabella's in February, I came upon two, used, Remington semi-auto rifles for sale. They were in as-new, incredibly good condition and both had custom and highly, beautifully checkered stocks. One was a 742 and the other was a 750. Their bluing was gorgeous and unscratched and had no signs to wear, such as against a leather pouch. I paid about $300 for one, and $600 for the other and bought them both on the spot. They are both chambered for 30.06 Springfield.
After purchasing them, I took them to the range and test fired about 10 rounds through each rifle. I wasn't checking for accuracy, but wanted to make sure they both functioned correctly. Their action was smooth, consistent and never showed signs of jamming. As nearly as I could tell, they were reasonably accurate at about 75 yards.
Since that time, I have heard horror stories about how badly they jam and failed to chamber rounds without sticking. I really love these two rifles, but now I am concerned.
I guess my question is...have I bought into a bad situation, or, since my guns seem to work okay, can I expect that they will continue to do so in the future ?
Also, the four round mags are a joke. I am considering buying 10 round mags. Since the 4 rounders work okay, can I expect the same performamce from the ten rounders ?
I'd apreciate hearing from anyone with experience about these guns...
