Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Woodsmaster Model 740 is a semi-automatic rifle produced by Remington Arms from 1955 to 1959, designed to offer hunters a reliable and versatile firearm. As one of the first commercially successful semi-automatic hunting rifles, the Model 740 represented a significant advancement in firearm design at the time. It boasts a 22-inch barrel, which enhances its accuracy and performance, making it well-suited for various hunting situations, from small to large game. Initially chambered in .30-06 Springfield and .308 Winchester, two calibers commonly used for hunting big game like deer and elk, the Model 740 later introduced .244 Remington (now .243 Winchester) and .280 Remington as options, giving hunters more flexibility based on their specific needs. The rifle features a four-round internal magazine, a standard capacity for semi-automatics of the era, allowing for quick follow-up shots while keeping the rifle slim and easy to handle.
