Rifle

[MJBaldwin]

Looking at buying a new rifle currently I have a 30-06 Tikka T3 and looking to get into a semi-auto. I was at scheels and saw the Remington Woodsmaster 750 and held it and felt great. I have done some searching and hear that these guns jam. I am wondering if you have had any experience with these? or what’s another alternative that’s like this but would like to get that one.

Thanks in advance

Semi-auto? AR-10 in .308 or .243 or any multitude of caibers that are offered in the AR-10 platform. Another option would be a custom AR-15 in a WSSM caliber too

What kind of a price do they have on those Woodsmasters?

could heck maybe for some of the older Remington model 7400 semi auto. it is almost the same thing as the wood master. Could find a nice one with a leapuold scope for same price as the new 750 woodmaster. I personally have 3 7400 rifles. 243,308, and the 30-06. no troubles with any jamming. ur other options for semi auto may be: browning bar, Benelli R1,and the AR10 platforms

MJ scheels has this one marked at 590 new in box originally around 650-690 I think it said. I don't believe that scheels carries the Remington line since this one has been the only one there for awhile.

I did feel a Winchester and that felt good on my arm too but woodsmaster felt better (I have shorter arms)

I used a Remmington model 742 Woodsmaster 30.06 over 30 years and never had trouble with it jamming. Two years ago I traded for a Browning 30.06 only because some replacement parts for the 742 were no longer available and it would have had no trade/sale value at all.

I used to use a 7400. Only problem I ever had was when I loaded it once I was in the stand I didn't "slam" the bolt home because I was trying to be kind of quiet. Deer came by gun didn't shoot until I pushed the bolt forward. Could be called user error not gun malfunction.

I had the same thing happen as leechlake did. Cost me a very nice buck because when I did it the bolt would not go forward or back and was jammed tight. Another problem is if the spring in the clip is weak it will also have feeding issues. New clips are available tho

I have a friend looking for a .270 Remington auto. If anyone comes across a deal let me know. New is kind of out of their budget I think.I have a 7400 .270 and have never had any issues.
