IIRC, the newer 7600s have fewer, but larger, locking lugs on the bolt, otherwise, they are about the same. I'd agree with the previous statement about the older rifles being built better, but I think I'd rather have larger lugs.

Either way, it's ten times the rifle a 742 or 7400 is.

You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
