I remember shooting one of these years ago on a ranch in Rock Springs. Just busting rocks at various distances with rudimentary range finders. Probably a Leupold VX-II 3x9 or some such thing. I still have one I wouldn't trade for 500.00. I recall this .30-06 chambered rifle being dead nuts on out to 300 yards. Great gun and I wanted one terribly at the time.
I'm no longer in the deer rifle buying business as I have what I'll use in any case. But what the heck is the deal with low pricing on the Remmy 742's? Max $600.00 is what I've seen for one hell of a mid-70's example. Is there a known mechanical thing that drives lower pricing? Or? They're danged good looking rifles and from my personal experience of 50 or so rounds - the one I tested shot and hit like a champ.
Thoughts?
