RWTF, apparently, you aren't much on staying abreast of the latest industry news. Remington went bankrupt, again. There are some outfits with more money than sense who have bought the arms division.

A Remington rep at a SHOT show in the early 80's told me the 742 was designed to function for 500 rounds before problems would start. I believe that whether it was fact or not. The average deer hunter would hardly shoot more than five boxes of cartridges in his whole life, and Remington knew that.

They were laughably inaccurate. If you had one that would shoot a 6" group at 100 yards, you had one of the good ones...
