The Remington 740 (now upgraded as the 7400) is a fine gun and very reliable. I have seen some that were as accurate as many bolt guns. It is certainly more than accurate enough for deer hunting. There is only one other currently made rifle in its category (true sporter semi-auto) and that is the Browning BAR which costs a couple of hundred bucks more.
Ten round magazines are available for it.
