Yes, I remember that and I don't know what they changed IF anything but....
the 742 was chambered in the 270 Win.
Nope. The 7400 was though.
OKAY - Mike you got me on that one. However I've never been a Semi Auto fan. I "owned" a 742, 30-06 for just a matter of hours. I bought it from an individual KNOWING an older friend who was looking for one. He bought it very quickly for the same $$$.
^^^^^^^^^ this was in the 80s, in another State where I was living then ^^^^^^^
That said, I knew the 742 was chambered in 243, 6mm Rem, 308, & 30-06 and I "thot" 270 also.
I "goggled" (lol) it and you are correct. My ass umption = mistake.
