Holee smokes! Found one NIB! The 750 Woodsmaster was first produced in 2006. Discontinued in 2015. For heavy game 220gr Core-Lokt should be about ideal. Decide on scope/mount. Range report to follow. | ||

I have the identical rifle. Warne steel bases with medium Burris Signature Zee rings work for me. Do you reload? | |||

Nice find! Are these rare? A local store has one new in box for $599 in .35 Whelen. I'd seen the 740/742 before but I have never seen the 750 until last weekend. My friend had 2 of the 742's and they had functioning issues. "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" | |||

Used ones are out there but wanted a new one. Not many new ones because 750's were discontinued in 2015. Leupold 1 piece base and Leupold rings on my 7400 35 Whelen (functions just fine). Base is windage-adjustable which is handy in case of misalignment issues. However the base and rings are steel so adds to scoped rifle weight. Going with Leupold Rifleman aluminum rings, Weaver 1 piece aluminum base (keep the weight down), and Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20mm. I handload target rounds. But for hunting with my 30-06's I use 220gr factory loads. | |||

I hope they hold up better then the 742 series do. Remington semi autos IMHO were never that robust. | |||

My 7400, with improvements supersedes the 742, continues to function reliably. 750 with further improvements supersedes 7400. | |||

Installed Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20mm in Leupold Rifleman low rings on Weaver 1 piece base. Aluminum rings and base to keep weight down. Scoped rifle weighs 7.8 lbs. Bore-sighted. Fantastic! No receiver/barrel misalignment issues. Sako Hammerhead bonded core 220gr ammo to compare with Remington Core-Lokt 220gr ammo (claimed 2362 vs 2410 fps mv). Liking the factory load approach because autoloaders can be finicky to handload. With factory ammo all R&D likely done to function reliably in all action types including autoloaders. Saves time. No muss. No fuss. No dee-kars'n A-round! And doesn't void the 2 year new rifle warranty. Range report to follow. | |||

Improved with Timney Trigger Fix. My 7400 has this. Pull is lighter and crisper. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/100532364 | |||

Good shooting! A lot more accurate than I was thinking. Maybe I need to do a pit stop tomorrow and grab that 35 Whelen "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" | |||

Thanks! Definitely pleased with how my new 30-06 750 groups! My old 35 Whelen 7400 groups not too bad with 250gr Swift A-Frame handloads. Earlier this month - | |||
