I inherited an original 740 woodsmaster chambered in .308 from a family friend's father, who passed away. Haven't been able to shoot it yet, with the ammo shortage and all, but I'm incredibly excited to give my first real semi-automatic rifle a try, given I can get my hands on some reasonably priced ammunition. Great video!

Great video. I have a Remington 742 in 243 Winchester that I got when I was 13 years old. I killed several nice bucks with it. Thank you for posting another review of a sporting rifle. I really enjoy your videos.

This rifle is still being produced remington model 750 changed a little to make it more reliable. It started as the model 74,740, 742,7400,750 woodsmaster series of rifle

I have a 742 Woodmaster in 308, great rifle

Buddy has 742 in 30’06. Very fine rifle.

I purchased one in 1982 never hade any problems and yes 308 is my favorite caliber seven or nine moose since them love it good out to450 yards looking for next year moose hunt

Ive heard about afew problems with these guns and i have a remington 742 woodsmaster 3006 and there is zero problems with my rifle. Just have to keep them clean and free of oil. I love my woodsmaster as it is a new used rifle i got just last week. Awsome rifle.

Oh hell that is a really nice rifle I have the 7400 in 270 , that was a very good review my friend

These older semiauto's are great "forgotten gems".

Great video! I have a 7400 in 270 ---great rifle! If you keep it clean and oiled it is as good as it gets out to 300 yards!

Such a nice gun so unknown and underrated. It's a perfect amalgamation of semi auto and aesthetic hunting rifle appeal. I will always prefer a 7400 or BAR over an AR/AK style rifle. I actually had one of the synthetic versions and I sold it like a dummy. I know it's not the wood one but now I'm trying to get another one and if I get my hand on a wood one I will be very grateful and happy with it. I think Remington discontinued it because they wanted people to only buy their bolt guns, I'm not really sure but it was around the time Freedom Group purchased them and that right there is a dead giveaway that it was cut for financial reasons. Its more expensive to manufacture and I don't think they sell as well but man they are sweet!!

First time watching your channel. I found a 7400 in 30-06 for just under $500 and am thinking about getting it. I've got a Remington 760 pump action in 30-06 and love it, although it does kick like a mule. Hahaha very informative, very good video. Thank you, I just subscribed!

I got a Nikon pro staff in 3x9x40 several years ago. In daylight it's as good as my 5 Leopold's in very dark legal conditions it is brighter than my Leopold's

good deal nice rifle. I have a browning BAR 30.06 also a AR10 in 308 the AR i can take down in my sleep had 18 years in the military.

Groups under 3/4" !! That Remington autoloader is a keeper !

Wow $650 sounds like alot, I got my 7400 308 with a hard case and the original scope for $200 after the 2015 hunting season from a friend. It only had about 20 rounds through it with the synthetic stock. I did upgrade back then to the Nikon PROSTAFF Rifle Scope 4-12x 40mm BDC Reticle at $220 and leupold scope rings. I wish I could get my hands on the 30-06 as well. I have a few thousands rounds through it now and have never had any problems. I did use some Walmart bought ZQ1 turkish ammo once and found it does not like $10 boxes of cheap stuff it was all over my 8 inch target, used the winchester ballistic silvertip and it was dead center 3 shots. I use Hornady ELD-X or winchester ballistic silvertip sometimes.

I've got one. Great Rifle.

Love the gun!!

I totally agree with your review about the magazine and the creep on the 7400... do you normally chamber a round when loading before removing the magazine and then load the magazine and insert? The instructions tell you to do this, and I notice that it's more susceptible to jamming. Just curious your opinion. Thanks!

Hello awesome video . I just saw one like yours at my local gun shop . Ive never owned a 7400 . I have heard the older ones jammed alot . Have u had any jamming or feeding issues

a 308 is the best caliber for accuracy , I own several and not one of them is a cull ;) From tompson to remington, they all good.

Nice rifle. One of my bosses is selling one and I told him that I am interested

Cool

which do you like better? The BAR 308 or the Rem 7400 308?

Good for you not many young men listen to their dads . Some dads were great teachers . Better than professors teaching them nonsense !

Timminy maked a drop in trigger for them.

mines in 280 ave had it for 30 yrs

7400 was the best of the Remington semi rifles produced. The 742 was my first rifle as a boy but the 7400 was an improvement IMO. As to the trigger, for $12.95, mcarbo sells a trigger upgrade that makes a WORLD of difference. I installed one on my 7600 pump and I love it. I have no affiliation with mcarbo other than a happy customer. www.mcarbo.com/store/p/29-Remington-Shotguns-870-11-87-1100-Remington-Rifles-750-7400-7600-Trigger-Spring-Kit.aspx

Remington 740 740 with accuracy block ... 742 7400 .. what else I have not kept track of the Remington Models.. Reminton went Bankrupt don't know who owns them now ..

I'm a lefty... should I avoid this?

Mine is a 06. Great shooter im in pa. And you can't hunt with it. Im from Maryland but i can shoot the shit out of it. Have fun my man

Anyone try to shoot 7.62 NATO through this rifle?

Clean The Damn Barrel you will shot tighter groups ,

A lot of head space problems with them guns..

These guns although look appealing are a very horrible design by remington. I have a 742 woodsmaster that is a single shot now because it wont eject. The extractors were a horrible design they wear out and when they do the gun is junk. They dont call them the jam master for no reason. Good looking gun but horrible design I'd never buy one. Go browning bar if you want a semi.

Complete garbage compared to a Browning BAR!
