Woodmaster - I am just about pacing with you, at about ~80 shots with the same result. I took the 750 along to camp with me yesterday and had the opportunity to shoot off another 20 rounds. Zero jams.

I agree that these rifles seem like they need to shoot-in a bit. One thing that I didnt do upon receiving the gun was to take a small pipe cleaner and swab out the gas port. I had done this after my second range session and seemed to take a lot of gunk out. It maybe that in the packing process, Remington puts too much grease in the bbl, which oozes into the gas port - effectively clogging/diminishing the gas system.

I'll probably have another 100 rounds through this before the season starts, but at this point I feel confident in the 750 as you do.
