Well, search engine has been down for days and I need some info. How is the accuracy of the Remington 7400?
I'm looking for a rifle to hunt with and I never considered any autos because it's nice to take fairly long shots on occassion (also I'm a lefty). Recently I've gotten to know someone who is an experienced rifle shooter, gunsmith and taught sniper school (I'll provide no more details but include this information for background). In talking with him about my search, he recommended the 7400 for my purposes. I said I thought they weren't too accurate but he said they're more accurate than people think and can be really accurate if you do a little extra work on one. He has one and indicated that it had been used to take a deer at 600 yards! I didn't really want to question the guy and he's not the type to typically feed you a line. Maybe he's just a really good shot in general.

What is you all's experience with the Remington 7400.

Thanks.
