Remington Model 742 Woodmaster 30-06 For Sale

[BeeMaa]

Remington Model 742 Woodmaster 30-06 For Sale $500 and insured shipping to the lower 48 is included. Beyond that the buyer pays the difference. I accept most forms of payment including PayPal Friend (preferred), cashier’s check or personal check. When Payment clears, I will ship the rifle to your FFL. Send me a PM to discuss and exchange information.

Specs…
30-06 chamber
21¾” barrel
Rear “V” notch rear sight adjustable for windage and elevation
Front brass bead front sight
Comes with 3 magazines and Leather Sling

The barrel is stamped on the left side with “KY” and “94”. What I believe the “KY” stands for is the barrel was made in May 1974. As for the “94”, I’m not sure, but could designate the barrel length and caliber. On the right side of the barrel are proof and testing marks. Maybe someone can help me out with what some of these stampings mean. Also the toe of the stock is chipped. Not sure how it happened, but I included a picture of this specifically.

What I do know is that it’s been a good Deer rifle in the Northeastern US for a number of years and still can be. Yeah, it needs a little work here and there but it’s a reliable semi-auto (similar to a BAR) rifle that shoots well. The scope rings are a swing away type to be able to use the irons. If you are planning on mounting a scope, I’d suggest removing it for a more modern scope mount. The receiver is drilled and tapped for a mount. Feel free to ask any questions and thank you for looking.

I love these old rifles... shot my first deer with one many years ago. Good luck with the sale. I'd take it if I didn't already own multiple '06's.

Woodsmaster, with an s. I have an early Woodsmaster Model 81 in .30 Remington.

Still, an extremely popular rifle for deer hunting in the mountains of Southeast Kentucky.

Apologies for the misspelling. How about I make it up to you with a deal on a 30-06?

 

[sestoppelman]

Already have 2 Garands, 2 1903's, a model 70 Win and probably a couple others I cant remember, LOL.

Can’t have too many 06s

Can’t have too many 06s

Except me. I have one too many at the moment.

For Deer hunting this gun is hard to beat. I currently own 4 of them including one that is unfired. With my 180 Gr Hornady Round Nose handloads my rifles shoot under an inch all day long.

Price reduced to $400 and buyer pays UPS shipping.

Holey crap BeeMaa, i'd give you my left one if we were allowed to hunt with these down here.

These 742's were the duck's nut's "back in the day", everyone on a hound crew having either a 742 or a 760. Shit, i'd give you more than your asking price just to have it but a retarded politician said we can't have semi-autos any more.

Good luck with the sale, i envy the buyer.

Decent looking rifle and a very good price. How do the 742s compare with the 7400s?

I've never shot a 7400, so I'm not sure. The 7400 was the replacement for the 742 so I can only imagine it was some type of upgrade. Not sure what the upgrades were or if they were trying to freshen up their look at the time. What I do know is that the 742 shoots very similar to a Browning BAR and it worked well for my Grandfather. I shot it a couple of times at the range with him when he was checking zero before the beginning of Deer season.

 

[Shootist43]

The 7400(s) were supposed to have a little better longevity and lock -up. That being said, my 742(s) are only 60 to 70 years old and still more than capable of one MOA with handloads.

Hi, just curious if this gun is still available. I’m looking for one that previously belonged to my father, given to him by his father for deer hunting in AL many years ago. I have the serial number of the gun I’m searching for and it starts off 7474 as in your picture. My father also reported a chipped stock when describing the gun. I would love to purchase the gun if the serial number is a match.

That would be so cool if it was the same one!

Rifle sold.

For those wondering…not a match on the s/n.

I have a 740, 742, and a 74 auto; and have harvested a number of whitetail and axis deer from across Texas as well as several hogs. The auto loading is very nice for the follow up shot or second hog.
