I had a 742 in 30-06 and it never jammed on me in the 8 years that used it. I kept it spotlessly clean. I eventually traded it for a Ruger M77 in .280. Many of the men in my family thought I was nuts for doing that. Bolt guns were not too highly valued at that time in the Adirondacks. My brother had a Win 100 .308 and that was the jam-o-matic in our family.
