There was a 7400 in a 280 reasonably priced on the internet. I have had no problems with Remington’s semi-autos as some evidently have. But every semi-auto I’ve had, eventually went down the road, including Ruger’s original 44 nag, A later version of Ruger’s 44 Mag, Winchester’s 100, and different Remington’s (742, 74 & 7400)
The only exception with the traveling semi-autos is the Garlands, of which I’m quite fond.
Reading the links I can see a problem, that is getting Remington parts - I forgot about this critical issue and I agree this conversion isn’t as practical as it might of been.
