I appreciate the input
I don't know what to think of this rifle; I took it out today and ran some factory rnds thru it, no problem. put some reloads in it, and it wouldn't shoot 4 rnds, but it would shoot 2 rnds. thats when it was still cold;
when it heated up after a box, it wouldn't hit a barn door, but it shot like my AR15'
also, after close inspection, it looked like it still had bluing on the bolt, and inner guts; so I pumped up the loads a bit, 39.5gr IMR 4831, and it hummed right along, with an occasional misfire, or failure to feed.
so I rounded up a 100 rnds of brass to reload at 39.5 over IMR 4831. if it doesn't work like its suppose too after that, then it will be a good project for my grandson to deal with when hes of age. it will be good training in the art of patience. thanks again folks; and to those of you who can't pass up that great deal on a 742.....good luck.
