The Model 742 Woodsmaster is a semi-automatic, gas-operated .30-06 with a factory capacity of 4+1 and right-side ejection. This rifle follows the standard 22" barrel configuration and uses a right-side charging handle for straightforward operation.
It retains factory iron sights, including a ramped blade front and an adjustable rear leaf. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases with four factory screw holes and filler screws in place, offering setup flexibility while preserving the original configuration.
The walnut stock presents classic Woodsmaster styling with a gloss finish, impressed checkering, a straight-comb pistol-grip layout, a Remington buttplate, and a white-line spacer. Length of pull measures 13.5".

The included detachable magazine is correctly marked "30-06."
