Some are simply Remington haters....... like I'm a Dodge hater. (make that Chrysler/Dodge) For those that don't know FIAT owns C/D.
Personally I've had 43 + years of RELIABLE service from Remington products. I have and have had 700s, 760s, Sixes, 870s etc.
NOT ONE single solitary problem with ANY of them.
Remember - Opinions are like Butt holes ! And we have a few of those round here.
Jerry Mopar or no car! But then I'd never own a Remington autoloader. YMMV.

Jerry  FWIW, Jerry, I'm really not one of those "Rem haters"... I actually have three myself (two M700s and a 541T) - and they all work just fine.. And quite frankly, the M870 pump shotgun is still one of the most reliable shotguns out there.. But I don't own a Rem 740/742/7400/750.. Over the last 21+ years of working on them and seeing the multitude of issues these things suffer, it's just not worth messing with 'em.. Even the LGS, about four years ago when the Remington rep stopped in, told him to take every singe 750 he had left in stock with him and never bring 'em back.. A friend of mine bought a new one.. He could never get it to feed right. Sent it (twice) to Remington under warranty to get fixed. They would send it back and, naturally, it wouldn't feed. Magazines? Oh yeah... He finally got hold of the big shot at Rem who told him to send it back and he would make sure every penny was refunded... And he did.. These are facts - NOT opinions... Take it to the bank. Guess what the friend bought (after getting my advice)? Browning Shorttrac.. Problems solved.. Best wishes....

Redneck -- UNDERSTOOD. Note my list of Remington rifles and shotguns that I've owned/used.

NOT ONE single solitary problem with ANY of them. ** I edited this to 46 + years. **
I bought an 870 brand new in 1973 and I really used it almost exclusively for shotgun purposes. I still have it and it shows its use character but still looks pretty good except for bluing wear on the receiver. The 740 series of autoloaders is NOT on the list either. Technically, I owned one 742 BRIEFLY. I bought it at a steal and SOLD it before ever shooting it. I never liked the weight of the semi autos. My post was more general than specific per 740, 742, 7400 s. I've been a member here since 2010 and the Remington 'haters' are in the minority but they ARE here. Thanks for your update. Jerry

Jerry You're welcome... And I just recalled I own another Rem (GASP!) An 11-87 I bought cheap from the LGS.. Works perfectly.. Oh, and to add a bit - the Rem auto-loading shotguns are actually quite good too.. I think the M1100 has been in production for about what, 60+ years??? They're like Timex watches - take a licking and keep on ticking.. Hard to beat 'em..
