Remington 743s were never known to be very accurate. I've owned a few of them and if you got 1.5 moa you were lucky. The 743 was not a very sturdy action. They worked until they didn't, started locking up or having feeding issues. At that point they become wall hangers or single shots. The 760 pump action is quite the opposite. Tough, reliable and accurate. I have a 760 in 270 that shoots 0.8 with 140 gr Federal ammo all day. The only drawback to the 760 is that the fore-end rattles and deer believe it or not, can hear. For a simple fix for a rattling fore-end simply wrap a rubber band around it and the barrel. Rattle will be gone but you can still work the action without any trouble.
