[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 3075159, member: 86754"] I bought my Uncle's Mod 742 , back in '75 when he was in a financial Bind ($85) I used it that deer season while he was saving to buy it back. Jammomatic 30-06, about a 6" group with Remington 150sl but found some Red Box Federal ammo loaded with the Sierra 165 BT. I shrunk the groups to 4", but I killed all my game that year ( deer/hogs) from 15 to 40 yds! ha Big Thicket, SE, Texas. You racked in/chambered good that first round, and you could count on it, but it jammed or failed to load after that. Basically a single shot. Only saving grace those Mod 742's had were they were fine handling rifles! ha I also noticed that the short rounds, i.e. 308 and 6mm Remington worked swell. [/QUOTE]
