Can someone give me a link to a review on this gun. Thanks

I dnot know of any links and I am a big Remington guy, but I would steer clear I have been shooting at the range and a number of times run into people that had jam and feedproblems. Most of the time this probably comes down to not keeping these clean butme I would avoid.

go with the 7600 pump. As fast as you need in the woods. All of my uncles have been using them for a long time (they actually have the older 760) and they've never had any problems with'm.

I hated my 7400. The clips are crappy and the rifle very rarely stripped the 2nd round properly> I was often left with my pants down and no follow up shot.

I still keep my 7400, I have had it for over 18 years. It has dropped more deer than you could throw in a dumptruck. It has worked flawlessly. I rarely use it anymore, but try to take it out at least once a season. Too many other toys to take out. There are a few tricks to them. I have had to take out some material in the forarm because the forearm screw was putting pressure on the barrel. Also, go easy on the oil in the action.

Right now, I don't have a scope on it, and use it if I am on drives or hog hunting.

7400's, in my experience, is at best a 2.5-3" 100 yd gun. I like 1 inch groups at most usually but have settled for 1.5" out of my 760 (My 700 in 7 mag shots perfect clovers! J) . Remington makes the best guns for the money, (And better then some of the higher priced ones too), in my mind, but this one is not the case. Good enough for brush, but auto's are not needed at all. If you want a fast reloading gun go with the 7600. Or learn to hit precisely where you want and don’t worry about the next shot. That’s the problem with most auto hunters is they think ahead to a follow up shot instead of a "one shot, one kill" situation. I've huntedfor a while nowand have needed a second shot only 1 time. Not to be cocky, but I was taught to take only a safe, humane, sure shot.

DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IS MY HONEST OPINION, JUST THAT, NOTHING MORE!!

I own a742, pre 7400 . Accurate rifle. light oil and clean gas vent, simple with pipe cleaner just make sure it is clean. bolt action only now . I had one bad experience with semi -auto . I tried to be quiet sliding round into chamber it didnt load all I got was a click...on a Missouri monster !! sure this was operator error but it will never happen again.

I had one in 270 and it was poop. It jammed and 3 inches at 100 yards was about it. My father in law has one in .308 and his is flawless! I think they work best in short action rounds and they must be kept clean. So, I am not out to completly discredit them, but I think it is easier to get a bad semi auto than a bad bolt rifle. EJ

One thing I have found out with mine. A 270win has a narrow range for powders. And sometimes when handloading you have to think more about getting a powder that properly cycles than an accurate one. Luckily, 4350 works great in mine even though they suggest 4064 in semis or faster. But 4064 would not cycle correctly. I like the 3000fps performance I get anyway from 4350.

I hear the 308 has much more open range for powder and loads.

Here is a little tip, if you get the ADL you need to disassemble the action and sand the action bars with 1500 grit autobody sandpaper, but not too much just enough to smooth the gritty texture of the ADL and make itslide smoothly. Otherwise brake-in and proper operation occurs in your great grandsons lifetime, not yours.
