That whole family has shot Remington 760 Woodsman pump guns forever AFAIK. Hell Remington should have been paying them advertising royalties.

The Woodsman is the Remington 740 or 742 semi auto. A great gun and popular in Maine!!

That's not what they were talking about. He was in a podcast sponsored by Woodsman.

Yeah, he's referring to a Woodsman muzzleloader, the "Patriot." Hammerless, 5.5lbs, cross-bolt safety, I'm surprised they're not more popular.
I may buy one and give it a whirl next year.

I do too. Always thought it would be awesome to track northern bucks in the snow.
Recently I stumbled across the Bigwoods Bucks podcast with Hal Blood and crew. They often have some enjoyable hunting and big woods buck tracking stories.

It was the original Sports Afield article around 1970 with Larry on the cover that got me hooked on the Benoit family. I bought a copy of Larry's 1975 book "How To Bag The Biggest Buck Of Your Life" and subsequent books about the Benoits. I gave his tracking advice a go in northern Wisconsin and got some deer killed, but not from me, other guys up ahead that I ran "my" deer into. You need the right kind of woods without other hunters and that wasn't where I hunted back in those days.

I think the 742/740/7400 was the "Woodsmaster" and the 760 was the "Gamemaster"

Ain't none of them worth the cash, IMO. I'd rather buy a reliable rifle.

The Remington pump guns are very reliable, have been for over 100 years.
Ahlman's in Morristown, MN, used to convert 740/742 series rifles with damaged guide rails from semi-auto to pump action.
