Hey, if pretty was required, I couldn't leave the house either. Slap a scope on that puppy and see if it can make holes tighter than the ones it's got built-in!
If that came up for sale locally for $175 I would probably own it and use it as a truck gun. Sure isn't pretty but either am I.

Thanks for the chuckle Tim.
Our house is protected by the Good Lord and a gun and you might meet them both if you show up here not welcome son!
There's one of these from the '50s in a LGS (742?) for $299 asking price but it's been there a while. Well used, but no abuse. No scope and looks like it never had one.
I've always been curious, how is it to reload for one of these? I know with a lot of autos, a guy has to be careful what pressure curve you load to in order not to damage it and make it function properly.
Can these function with cast?
I think the 740 and its successors are one of the reasons RCBS makes small base .30-06 sizing dies.
FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.

After failing to get any mounts to line up with the holes, including the mounts made for this rifle, I filled the holes that I could with screws. I dressed it all up with a file and JB Welded the whole mess. I'm waiting on it to harden and will start sandind/filing on it tomorrow.
I don't know how I didn't notice this earlier. I found this under the follower in the magazine today.
let me guess there is about 37 holes in the stock for sling mounts LOL
Shockingly no.
The Pick Gnomes are getting into bubba gunsmithing! They sure steal a lot of picks and have several of mine. Seems they are trying to find new uses for them.I don't know how I didn't notice this earlier. I found this under the follower in the magazine today.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
I had a 740 and a 742 in 30-06 at different times. No problems using a standard die set and full length sizing. They both liked slightly reduced loads rather than max. loads, with j-bullets. Never tried them with cast.
This gun should have a bolt that is different from the 740/742 guns. Supposed to be stronger I read.
The pawn gods have smiled on me again. Today I took in a Remington 740. I has no extra holes but all the metal has been spray painted black.
Awww, the plaque was distinctive!
A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.
That's a lot of holes for the money!

Not perfect but it looks better than it did.
Looks nice at this distance. Seen a lot of swiss cheese guns out here. I have 2 of them.
We load cast for a sons 742, works rather well with Lee 170gr and a light load of H4895. I use standard lee 30-06 dies.
