Having owned a few 740/7400 riffles in the past. I had problems with both variants cycling correctly and got tired of trying to keep them working. Now years later I hear there are ways to fix the problems but I have moved on to bolt actions and AR's. All the ones I had were more than accurate enough for hunting purposes once I found out what they liked. I also still have the pump 7600 that I traded 2 740's for and to this day I love that gun for deer. By the way I also have 2 older BAR's in 7mm and 30-06. Great guns and it's hard to beat browning quality but they are heavier to carry for sure.
