The only Model 100 I have used was ammo sensitive. Very accurate with ammo it liked. Small base dies required. You can get extra magazines but they are expensive.

Remingtons have been somewhat more reliable. My 740 got a little touchy but my LGS did a bit on it and it seems good now. 742's seemed much improved. The old guys I knew that hunted those automatics have mostly quit hunting so I have no info on 7400.

I would go with the Model 100 if I could get one in good shape.
