"New" to to my hunting friend. As it indeed was his (first) semi-auto Big Game rifle. And according to what was said by its gun counter salesman. >"Lightly Used"_ is how I came to such a description in my write. "New// lightly used."
And yes. It indeed is a 30-06.

(Personally) I would shy away from buying any (used) semi-auto period._But as I commented prior. This particular 742 was in very good (exterior) appearance. And as you and I both know. Exterior appearance is quite often a misguiding factor by those uninformed (used) gun buyers. i.e. "Not always what you see is how the weapon was kept."
