742's generally aren't a sought-after rifle. Used, it's worth somewhere between $200-$300. Actually, they are a bargain if you're looking for a deer rife.

beware bad receivers

I have a 30-06, picked up off this site last year.

I was told by a gunsmith that some of them had bad receivers, the metal wasn't hardened correctly and luckily mine was okay.

Of course the forearm split from age but that is a different story.

I can't say I am much of a rifleman but I am happy with it's accuracy as a 100 yard dear rifle.
