Many moons ago, I dated a girl whose mother hunted with a 742 in 6mm. She loved the thing. I can't imagine a rifle kicking less than a gas operated 6mm.
I cannot advise reference accuracy or even reliability, as I never heard her say, but if yours feeds properly, and shoots with a reasonable degree of accuracy, then you have a fine rifle to shoot whitetails, coyotes and groundhogs with.
Good luck and enjoy,
