  1. One of the most common problems with the 742 and 7400 was headspace. Once it's off it will jam and bend extractors and cause all sorts of problems. I've seen plenty that have went to gunsmiths for a quick fix and then start having problems again just a few rounds after leaving the shop because the gunsmith did not bother to check the headspace. The 760 Gamemaster is the pump version and allows you to chamber and eject rounds without the force and speed of an auto thus making the cycle of action a lot easier on the receiver components. The 760 Gamemaster was produced first in 1952 and then 3 years later Remington decided to make an auto version of it in 1955 as the 740 Woodsmaster and it was superseded in 1960 by the 742 Woodsmaster and then discontinued in 1980. I believe it was resurrected in 1984 as the 7400 and discontinued again in 2006. However, I believe the 7600 which is the pump model is still currently in production. Remington 760 Gamemaster: Creating vacancy at the Lorraine Motel since April 4, 1968. I would buy a 742 Woodsmaster. I know several folks who own them. There is a big difference between being a firearms owner and a firearms enthusiast. Anyone can be a firearms owner when someone bequeaths them a rifle. I know men who can't change the oil in their vehicle much less properly maintain a firearm. "Some people go through life wondering if they've made a difference, Marines don't have that problem."
