Remington pretty much had the market cornered on semi-auto hunting rifles. When I was a kid the standard deer rifle was a 742/7400. Tastes changed and more and more people started carrying bolt actions.
I remember those days well. We had two .30-30s, one shotgun, one bolt action, and about seven 742s in our deer camp. The 742 guys thought the bolt action was a joke. He was the clear outlier in the group, despite being the only rifle loony.
