In my opinion, the 7400 was the best auto hunting rifle Remington ever made. We had one around here that was used by the whole family for 15 years. It gobbled hatfulls of reloads and around a hundred factory loads and it never jammed the entire time we had it. The trigger was a little challenging for fine work but it would cut 1 1/4" groups with Nosler BT reloads or several factory loads.
An old friend has another one, also a 30-06, which is just as good as ours. Maybe we both just got lucky.
