Used 750's at Cabela's

[30hrrtt]

I was in Cabela's yesterday and looking at the used guns.  They had several 750's that looked close to new.  They haven't been out that long.  Are there problems with this rifle or is it just coincidence?

Nope nothing wrong with them, but maybe the prior owner didn’t like hunting for the thrown brass.

Is it the Woodsmaster is $879 retail and Synthetic is $773 retail?

Also depends on what they are asking for in price they are usually too high priced.

I priced a used Weatherby Mark V Synthetic 30-06 Springfield from the East Grand Forks Cabelas they wanted $900, but I was able to find a new in box off the internet for $570 shipped which was the exact same rifle.  I pays you to shop around and be patient.

I know of 2 -750's (talking to folks at the range) that were problematic and replaced by Remington.  The replacements are OK although one took a return trip to Remington to get it right. One local dealer refuses to stock them because he got sick of dealing with the problems.  I know this because I wanted one but am steering clear.  My good friend got a 35 Whelan this past summer and it is giving him enough problems that he left it home all season and plans to sort it out over the winter.  He now has 3 magazines all new that won't feed if he loads more than 2 in them.
On the positive side, an acquaintance from the range is getting some fantastic groups (under .5 inch) at 100yds out of his 35 Whelan BUT he is loading it down to 2300-2400 fps with 200 grain bullets to get it to cycle well.  He is the guy that has 1 replacement and the current gun fixed after the 1st box through it.
Hope if get it, it's a good one...
