20 rd magazine for Remington 30-06

Can the 742 fire 20 rounds without jamming?

I have a 15 round mag for my 30-06 Remington 742. My first deer rifle. Haven't fired that gun since 1994 though.

No idea where to find a similar magazine. It came alonf with the used gun when I purchased it used in early 90s. Never had issues with it jamming as many claim about that model but it sprays bullets everywhere. Although i killed several deer with it, I never could hold a decent group with that rifle. Terrible gun at the range.

He obviously doesn't want it for hunting

It's the Model 7400

Make sure the barrel is tight where it connects to the receiver. There's a nut that holds the barrel on that will rattle loose and cause it lose accuracy. My old man's 742 did the same thing. I tightened it and it's now a good shooter again.

Looks like a great setup for some tower shooting.
