Guest hunter101 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 i was just wondering the ups and downs to a remington 7400 in a 30-06? how far are you accurate cause i have notaiced the barrel length is only 22'' compared to a 700 sps dm with a 24'' barrel.

Shaun_300 Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: remington 7400 It's a decent gun! One of my great uncles has one in a .308 and he's had good luck with it. With semi-autos you have the risk of it jamming, but as long as you keep the action clean I'm sure there shouldn't be any issues. I personally would take the 7600 (pump) over the semi, but that's just my opinon. Where do you usually buy your guns? I reccomend Quinte Outdoor Sports down in Belleville. It's right on Hwy 62 about a mile north of Hwy 401. They have a great selection and pretty good prices. Both my brother and myself bought our Brownings. They have very knowledgeable and helping staff there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwlacy Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Re: remington 7400 I used to own a 742, which is the older model of the 7400. And I currently own a 760, which is the pump model. I like the pump gun better than the auto. I doesn't jam, and mine shoots more accurate than my auto did. I had some problems with the auto not ejecting properly. Some times it would tear a chunk out of the brass and leave the empty in the chamber. My dad has the 7400 and doesn't have any problems with it jamming as long as he uses factory ammo. Some reloads do not cycle right. If I was to buy another I would buy a bolt action. I don't know if I would buy another pump gun. Even though I like it and have no problems with it. Also on the auto's I don't know anybody who reccomneds doing a trigger job on them. So if you get one with a bad trigger you are just stuck with it. Good hunting Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: remington 7400 Barrel length means little on how far a gun will shoot, definately so when you are talking about factory guns. As far as the gun goes, I have seen some that shot decent and some that were less than desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too_pointer Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: Remington 7400 I have had 2 742 in 30-06, and now have a 7400 in .270. That all were very accurate and no jamming problems. I would recommend them to anyone. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaDeRonDa Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Re: Remington 7400 I've seen a few that worked flawlessly and others that jammed no matter what ammo was put in them. It's sort of like buying a car. Sometimes you get a good one...Just like every gun maker guns they sell. The length of barrel has nothing to so with it's ability. The type of action may though.
