Remington 7600 question.

Two years ago after shooting a deer, I pumped another shell into the chamber. Got back to camp and realized the plastic dust cover had broken off. Used it this year, but noticed a lot of dust in the chamber. How difficult is it to put a new one in?
In all honesty, I want to keep it due to it being the first rifle I bought. But I won’t lie, I’m pretty sure I don’t have the patience to do it. Thought about trading it, just do to how much they are going for these days.

How much they going for? Have one from the late 1970's that was the top grade basket weave that is in fine shape in 270 cal. Sweet shooting rife. I just don't use it.

The older 742 woodmasters were Jam-o-matics. Bad design. I heard they did some revisions with the 7400’s and the 7600’s. Dust cover should be an easy install and cheap

I keep hearing this, but never have seen it happen. I have a 742 from 1976, best friend has one same year. Neither have ever had a jam, i still shoot deer with it every year... with same redfield scope.

It’s because the bolt is made of steel and the rails the bolt sits on is aluminum. For your average deer hunter that shoots it maybe 4-5 times a year, it’s a non issue. For the guys that have shot a couple hundred rounds, the wear on the rails makes it inoperable over time.

Love those rifles

My 742 has been around my whole life, shot a mountain of deer and never jams. A cheap $25 Walmart Bushnell scope, that has not been adjusted since first mounted a quarter century ago, drives tacks at 100 yards (i don't shoot much farther than 125 or so).

I have two 742's, a 30-06 and a 243. Never had a jam. The secret is to clean them after the hunt if you fire it. The gunk builds up and the next thing you know you have a stovepipe. Those rifle have a bad reputation because their owners are too lazy to clean them,
I also lost the dust cover on my '06. Once I found a replacement part it was relatively easy to change out.
