I own a 742 in .243 and I love it. Very accurate and have killed a lot with it. I wish it was in another caliber though. The .243 is a little light for some of the bigger Kansas deer. Fried of mine had one in 30-06 that was a "meat getter". But he broke the bolt handle when he laid it across the door frame of his truck to shoot at deer.
