Chambered in 6mm Remington, this Woodsmaster represents a less-common factory offering within the Model 742 line. It uses a detachable box magazine with a stated 4+1 capacity, pairing the cartridge’s flat-shooting profile with semi-automatic operation.

Early A/Standard-grade wood furniture defines the look and feel, with an uncheckered straight-comb buttstock and the distinctive vertically grooved wood fore-end. Sling-swivel studs are present for easy sling attachment.
