Remington Model 7400 .270 Win. Semi-Automatic Rifle (1994) with Simmons 3–9×40 Scope
This 1994-manufactured Remington Model 7400 pairs a classic American walnut stock with a polished-blue 22″ carbon-steel barrel, and it does so in a caliber rarely seen in factory-built semi-autos: the venerable .270 Winchester. Outfitted with a Simmons 3–9×40 optic on Weaver-style mounts, it is ready for the deer stand or the range the moment it arrives. Collectors will appreciate its place in Remington’s third-generation autoloading lineage, while hunters will value the smooth-cycling four-lug bolt, detachable magazine, and reliable gas system carried over from the legendary Model 742—yet refined for the 7400 series.
Condition
Overall grade: Good. Metal surfaces show minor to moderate scattered scratches, scuffs, and a few small spots of pitting and blemishing consistent with field use, yet the polished-blue finish retains attractive depth. The walnut furniture presents a warm satin gloss, with normal handling marks but no cracks or structural issues; checkering remains crisp. Bore is clean and bright with strong, well-defined lands and grooves, indicating careful maintenance and continued accuracy potential. Optic glass is clear; external optic body shows light handling wear.
All controls—including the cross-bolt safety and bolt catch—function as intended.
What’s Included
• Remington Model 7400 rifle
• Factory detachable 4-round box magazine
• Simmons 3–9×40 riflescope (matte black) installed on Weaver-style two-piece bases
With its Monte Carlo comb, pressed fleur-de-lis checkering, and black plastic buttplate equipped with sling-swivel studs, this full-size rifle balances comfortably at the shoulder and settles quickly on target. The 22″ barrel’s polished-blue finish contrasts elegantly against the lightweight aluminum-alloy receiver, which is drilled and tapped from the factory and predates the scroll-engraved receivers introduced in 1996—an appealing detail for Model 7400 enthusiasts.
Mechanically, the 7400’s conical gas seal and simplified four-lug rotating bolt deliver the fast follow-up shots semi-auto hunters expect while reducing the fouling concerns of earlier designs. The detachable magazine interchanges with late-Model 742 and early-Model 750 variants, making spares easy to source. A push-button cross-bolt safety blocks the trigger when engaged, and the bolt will lock to the rear on an empty magazine—a handy feature when verifying an unloaded chamber.
Whether you’re looking for a dependable whitetail rifle that stands apart from the usual bolt-action crowd, a hard-to-find .270 Win. autoloader for your collection, or simply a classic 1990s Remington in honest, ready-to-hunt condition, this Model 7400 fits the bill.
Give it a spot in your safe, zero the included Simmons glass to your preferred load, and enjoy one of the few U.S.-made semi-automatics ever chambered for Jack O’Connor’s favorite cartridge.
