Remington Woodsmaster 750 in .243

Recommended Posts

Newbie, first post.  Anyone have thoughts/input on the Remington 750, specifically in .243?  Googling results in a lot of negative comments including; unreliability and even barrels wearing out.  But do these comments apply to the 750 or more to the previous models?  I might be interested in purchasing one (cash or through trade) but wanted to pick some brains first.  Thanks.

I have a 7400 in .270 and never had any problem with reliability. Only issue is seating the mags (when they are full), It is hard to get them to lock in.

But, haven't even shot the rifle in 10 years, so my memories could be incorrect.

Otherwise, it's a great looking rifle.

Stock mag that came with the rifle. It went in fine if you would put a little effort into it.

But at 5am in the woods when your trying to be as silent as possible there were times when I wasn't sure if it was seated properly.

Did take down a few deer with it. Not sure of the 243, but the 270 is my favorite hunting round.

Age is making me head to .243 direction.  Joints have started to hurt, particularly the shoulders not to mention the eyesight isn't what it used to be.  .243 is supposed to be a good caliber anyway, as long as you aren't elephant hunting.  I guess nobody has a 750 in .243.  NJGF's marketplace doesn't have ANY items.

    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
