My uncle bought one in the late 50's that has the bear engraving on it in 30-06. Beautiful gun that has shot too many deer to count. I shot one with it in the 90's. My cousin has used it since my uncle's death. The gun did jam 1 time but was thoroughly cleaned and hasn't failed since. So, in 60+ years only 1 jam. My 760 jammed once because it was filled with dirt and dust after riding on a 4 wheeler for a couple days during a drought. I wouldn't claim it isn't trustworthy due to my poor cleaning that season. So, my knowledge of the 742 wouldn't stop me from using one. My uncle's gun still can shoot their eyes out at 50 yards. At least it did a couple years ago.
