Never owned one. Did work w/ one for a church member. It was a .30-06. Fine fine rifle! After a little bit of fiddling it would produce 1.5 inch five shot groups time after time. Never gave a minutes trouble feeding, firing or ejecting. Any common factory ammo was just fine. Sighted it in using my handholds since they were far cheaper than the factory ammo. Rifle shot 1.5 MOA. With Remington or Winchester ammo ... shot the same 1.5 MOA. Church member was a pharmacist. Real big deer hunter. He and that 742 were extremely effective harvesting run of the mill deer as well as the really big heavy horned stuff. The little 742 w/ the 18 inch barrel is really nice. Sincerely. bruce.
