[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2635333, member: 30902"] We had a 742 in .243 that was a wonderful rifle until one day the bolt track went south and the bolt ended up at a really bad angle in a horrible bind. It was a 72-74 era model and the gun smith said they'd gotten really cheap in their stampings of the receivers for a few years and that was happening to a lot of them. It wasn't worth repairing so it got up and tossed into the scrap bin. That was about 1984 and it had a whole lot of mileage on it by then so we got our moey's worth out of it but I've been a bit gun shy of buying another since. [/QUOTE]
