Just wondering if anyone hunts with a Remington 740/742 (or whatever came after), and what your opinions are.
I know they once were very popular and you see one regularly here, but I wonder about current thought. I have one in the safe that I was "given" to keep, but have never taken it into the woods. Taken it out to put a through rounds through and sign in, but never in "the show".
Don't take this the wrong way but I've never needed a fast reload. In fact I've only needed more than one shell a handful of times, and a lever/bolt is plenty fast enough to get the job done.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'd even like to hear from the 76x crowd.
