    Yep - the Remmy Woodmaster was called the 740 for short period from 1955-59 apparently. Then in 1962 it became the better known 742 until 1980 when it became the 7400. No idea when it was...

    MD that semiauto 243 might have been a Remington 740 Woodmaster- quite alot around then. Later called 7400. Old man liked his Remington 760 Gamemaster pump action - the Remmy pumps and semis very...

    I remember my dad on the farm convincing mum she should take a shot with his jungle carbine 303. Carbine a brutal little bugger with no real recoil pad and a real kick. She gets down into prone...

    Pecar Berlin 4x scopes were a go-to back then. I did like the BSA centrefires - esp Majestic - still a well regarded rifle. Certainly a cut above the entry level Brit offerings at the time like...

    I did see a Remington 600 243 on trademe 4-5 years back, rebarrelled and in very tidy condition. Went for about $700 scoped. Agonised over it and left it - like a bloody clot. Would love one in 243...
