The Woodsmaster 742 action is a gas-operated semi-automatic with a rotating multi-lug bolt, delivering smooth cycling in a lightweight .243 Win package. The detachable steel magazine feeds a 4+1 capacity, and the magazine body is correctly stamped ".243 WIN" for quick identification.
The 22 inch barrel follows the standard rifle configuration with an unthreaded plain crown. Factory open sights include a ramped front blade and a barrel-mounted adjustable rear sight with elevator, giving you a usable backup to the included scope.
Stocked in gloss-finished walnut, the rifle features pressed checkering with fleur-de-lis accents, white-line spacers, and a checkered metal buttplate with the Remington logo. Factory-style sling hardware is installed: a fixed fore-end cap-mounted front swivel and a rear stock stud with a detachable QD swivel; a leather sling is included. Length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
The barrel is marked "Remington Arms Co., Ilion, N.Y., Made in U.S.A."; the receiver bears the Remington script logo, "Woodsmaster Model 742," and serial A7231554. The rifle retains a classic blued finish that pairs well with the traditional walnut stock and clean lines of the Woodsmaster series.
