BEST SEMI-AUTOS That Are Surprisingly AFFORDABLE

Definitely disappear into the fog of history. I’ve been looking for a year or two around here

Funny..I've owned just about every Rifle you had on the table in 243w & 308W/30/06 Rem 742, Rem 141 35Rem..but it all came down two my 7mm/08 Rem-M 7 carbine 18.5Bbl.

I'm looking at the Model 100 in 308 Winchester for deer hunting but I'm looking to see how easy parts are to find for it before I commit to buying one

I inherited my granddad‘s 740 in ‘06 what is the best lube for that action oil or grease?

I've had a few 742's 30-06, and .280 Rem, my favorite, I see no use in a short action caliber in the 742 since it was designed for long action cartridges, I had a Model 100 in .308 I really liked, shot lots of deer and hogs with it, and it was always one shot one kill

I just picked up a Remington 742 with a 3x8 leupold. SN places it between 1968 and 1975. I purchased from original owner who guarantees only 5 rounds through it. He had the original half used box of bullets still. I paid $400 cash for it with the ammunition. It has two very small light scratches on the stock. Probably from storage. I have not shot it yet but the action is free and clean, magazine releases fine and safety works. Other than clean and oil anything I should know before i take it out and shoot it? Thanks

You say that these rifles are "Surprisingly Affordable" but you never mention the price!

Really!!! If you don’t include Browning Bar this is not a good comparison. Every Remington 742 I’ve own was very unreliable. Hangamatic.

Classic firearms. Keep them well hidden. Liberal ass hats will come for those too.

I love the Remington pump action rifles only thing is they are getting very expensive last few years for the older wooden ones. I have the 7400 I'm 30/06 and I love it dearly. It a tack driver at 100 yards and my longest shot ever has been 125 yard. I've had mine for probably 15 years now after I shoot it I do a basic cleaning barrel chamber and wipe down and I've never had an issue ever. I've used the same two mags this whole time. I'll get another 30 years out of this gun lords willing. God Bless and good luck this season. Be safe!!

I have a Remington 742 in .308. It is extremely reliable, accurate, and quick to the shoulder. It is my favorite .308. I don't take mine apart. I clean and lube it, making sure to keep the bolt and rails slightly greased. No problems. Mine was made in 1978,

I have a model 100 chamber in 284 it's in decent to good condition. Still has factory firing pin in it . Should i try to get the new firing pin from Winchester? It was my grandpas gun

If anyone has a 742 for sale please let me know I’m a young hunter In Georgia and I’d like to find one for sale if anyone can lead me in the right direction

Mike I could use your opinion on a gun I’m considering, anyway to contact you other than this forum? Thanks Mike

My grand father hunted with the model 100 in .284. A couple times over a 30 year period I could tell his shots out in the deer woods because the gun would double fire on him. Other times the gun would jam, I did not care for the gun at all personally.

You advised me on a buy about a year ago and I just want to let you know that it turned out to be a super good deal and best decision I ever made as far as collecting.. had some unfortunate financial situation come up just before the start of December and most of my collection had to go so that I could keep my family in the comfort level that they're used to and provide them a good Christmas and as hard and sad as it was to let go of some advice that had gotten over the past few years it did save the Day. Especially the rifle I spoke to you about in a previous comment. I'll never get one again at that price but it was meant to happen when it did and I wouldn't have pulled the trigger (pun intended) I'm not going at that time without your advice. Thank you Merry Christmas I hope you're still making videos haven't gotten one in my feed lately

I bought a 742 in .30-06 in 1981. I put those see through scope mounts on it and never liked it. Mostly I was shooting about 4"-5" at 100 yards, until I found the right ammo, which happened to be Remington Core-Lokt 180 grain factory ammo. I also found that if I wanted the best groups at the range, I needed to let the barrel cool all the way down to ambient temperature. Then, shockingly, I shot several 1" groups. I took it hunting a few times, but on California public land as an inexperienced hunter I never saw any game worth shooting at. Twenty years later I decided to crack open my wallet a bit and go on guided hunts, but by that time I had reverted to bolt action rifles, which I much prefer. I never did get rid of the old 742 though, and one day, I may try it out again. It's in the deepest darkest part of the safe, and I don't bother handloading for it like I do my bolt rifles, but hey, you never know! Thanks Mike for another great video!

I don't remember ever seeing a Winchester 100 before. Many claim the Ruger 10-22 was modeled after the M1 Carbine, however they look like they modeled it after this gun. Thank you for your very honest and detailed comments. Every detail you provide is appriciated by us gun lovers!

The winchester almost looks like an over sized 10/22 the way the r eciever bulges up ,rounded rather then flat....i feel? lol

I would love to see you with a Remington 760? lol

hey my friend i dont claim to be an expert in anything ,when it comes ot guns but one of the reason's as you mentioned heat, could be the very reason why the cases get stuck? Most of the rifles like you have there are meant for hunting. Not re[peted firing more then a few rounds now and then for zeroing in or target shooting. If they were battle rifles they would most likely be a bit heftier, to better handle the heat and repeted firing. I have a few guns that fire just as well hot as they do cold but they are Mil-Surp or self built black guns as you say hehe. So i know which ones can handle more abuse haha. Great video i just loved it!

O my goodness you mentioned Stag!?!?!?!? My 1st ever brand new AR was a Stag! I just love their firearms! The one i purchased s no longer available and was called the Minimalist.! Its an M4 configuration and has the FFSP which i love! two of of three ARs chambered in 5.56 have the fixed front sight! Then "all" of my ARs chambered in anything have the same style of sights. I dont mind the extra weight of the carry handle and use the old style sights. After that i put at most a red dot or dot and magnifier and if the caliber calls for it ill throw a scope on one? I just about have one in every caliber they make an AR15 in! I had to promise my wife to stop collecting them! LOL She was very happy until i came home with my "1st" AR10 ! LOL I havnt made any new promises ,just yet! ROFL! Great stuff my friend truly!!!

Aw finally an honrable mention at the end ,about the model 760? LOL I think the remington 700 you got there looks almost exactly like a 760 other then the front stock is fixed? tehehe I was wondering if you have any videos on mil-surp guns? Like maybe a VZ24 Mauser? I had one left to me by my grandfather ,that took it from a German solder. I was wondering what it may be worth and ,trying to figure out what caliber it is? It was taken any where from North Africa threw Italy ot the Med? So it could be one of several chamberings? Just wish there was a way to find out ,without pouring molting metal into the chamber? lol

the 742 would have benefited from chroming the bolt head and bore and chamber.

I was able to take my first Buck at 30 yards because I had see-thru sights on my Remington

Love this channel

Between my dad and i we have 3 model 100s 2 in .308 and 1 in .284. I honestly don’t have anything negative to say about them. They all shoot really well with zero jams or accuracy issues. Ive always been taught that a clean rifle is a happy rifle lol i also have a Remington 7400 semi auto which I believe is the newest model of the Remington semi auto’s, chambered in .270. Shoots great haven’t had any jamming issues with it. Overall i dont think you can go wrong with either the Remington or Winchester. My model 100 .308 was my first rifle that my dad and grandpa got me for my 15th birthday, ive been fortunate enough over the last 12 years and have shot a fair share of deer with it. Great classic rifles! I have recently purchased a new model 70 super grade Winchester in .30-06 very excited to hunt with it this year. Might just be my new go too whitetail rifle.

Weaver K4 60B is better than the challenger.

In my opinion that .260 Remington would be better in the 750 model instead of the 742 simply because of the locking lugs in the 742 are cut and the 750 lugs are solid. a stainless version would permit for a better hunting rifle due to all of the elements faced while hunting ,but in order to acquire one like that it would have to be custom ordered .ps an avid Remington shooter can say honestly

Pennsylvania doesn't allow semiautomatic rifles for hunting. My choice in Pennsylvania was Winchester 70 in 7X57 for deer. I've now retired out west and use a Remington 7400 in 270. Both excellent deer rifles.

Winchester M100, autoloader; M88, lever.
Remington 7400, autoloader (74, 742)
Remington 7600, pump (76, 760,etc)

I have. more than a few treasures from yesteryear

You look like El Chapo! Cool rifles and video

Has anybody had good luck with 7400 remington aftermarket magazines

I have

I have a Remington 7400 270 cal wouldn't trade it for anything

Being poor and trying to make ends meet I just had to sell my Belgian browning and my Ruger 44 mag carbine. It about made me sick but you have to do what you have to do. I’ve had many beautiful guns in my lifetime and had to sell them all. But hopefully one day I’ll be able to get them all back in my gun vault. You have many exceptional guns and my hat is off to you.

I have just picked up a Winchester Model 100, 5 mags and a new firing pin(recall on it). Just need to find sometime to take a deep dive on it.

That 6mm is a beautiful rifle

Those aren't used in Pennsylvania. We can't hunt big game with semiautomatic rifles. Maybe New York, they ban semiautomatics with pistol grips, threaded muzzles, and bayonet studs. The 742 and similar designs are the most convenient legal options.

I used to wear sweater vests back in the 80's. I think almost all our church pictures I was wearing one. My favorite one was purple I wore with my purple Bugle Boys. That was before Batman was a movie with the Joker

Love your videos

I always had to laugh when I saw a rifle with see thru mounts. After all these years they finally make some sense. I would use the scope for secondary long shots

I've been 72 for 1982 I bought it 308 still use it

O

243 will unalive every thing that all of them 500 yeards

HK made very reliable hunting sporter rifles too.

It's proper cleaning that's what it needs .
