Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Remington Model 742 Woodsmaster is a classic semi-automatic rifle that was manufactured by Remington Arms from 1960 to 1980. This particular variant is chambered in 6mm Remington, a high-velocity, flat-shooting cartridge well-suited for varmint hunting and medium-sized game like deer and pronghorn. The rifle features a 22-inch blued barrel, offering a balance of accuracy and maneuverability, making it a reliable option for hunters in various terrains. The action is semi-automatic, utilizing a gas-operated system similar to the one found in Remington’s renowned 1100 series shotguns, which in turn traces its lineage back to the legendary 870 pump-action shotgun. Ejection is handled via a side ejection port, ensuring smooth cycling and compatibility with optics. The rifle comes equipped with a dovetail blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight, providing flexibility for shooters who prefer open sights, while also allowing for the addition of scopes for improved accuracy at longer distances.

The Model 742 Woodsmaster sports a checkered walnut stock, giving it a classic, elegant aesthetic while providing a solid grip for enhanced control. The rifle is designed to accept a standard 4-round magazine, though optional 10-round and rare 20-round magazines were also available, making it versatile for both hunting and target shooting. The free-floating barrel contributes to improved accuracy by minimizing barrel harmonics, a feature that appeals to precision shooters. Over its two-decade production run, the Model 742 earned a reputation for reliability and performance, though it required consistent maintenance due to carbon buildup in the action. In 1981, Remington replaced the Model 742 with the Model 7400, followed later by the Model 750, both of which retained key design elements while incorporating improvements in reliability and durability. Despite being discontinued, the Woodsmaster remains a favored choice among collectors and hunters, valued for its craftsmanship, smooth operation, and historical significance in the evolution of Remington’s semi-automatic rifle lineup.
