Question: hello, does it fit a 30 years old 742 woodmaster ? (cal 280 )
Document: Just as with the other posters, I have a Remington 742 Woodmaster 30-06 and my factory stock was cracked. This new stock installed in under 15 minutes and it fits PERFECTLY. No modifications needed and I was able to reuse the front sling clip. There is no stock clip on this stock however so you will need to figure something out.I have not shot with the new stock yet so I may come back and change the rating if the gun does not perform well.
Based on the other reviews I also ordered this stock set for my old 742 Woodsmaster. The product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Just like the other reviews, the stocks fit perfectly. What an improvement! Do not hesitate to put this on your 742. Ross
Remington says that this stock will not fit my old 742 Woodsmaster. It went on easily and fit perfectly. The raised comb gives a better cheek weld for using the rifle with a scope, and the gun looks like a brand new one.
Everything fit perfect. And it weights considerably less than the wood. Very happy. Oh yeah I put it on a 742 woodmaster.
Like most old 742's I had a stock break in the middle of a hunt. Unfortunately, mine broke on the first day of a five day snowy Colorado Elk hunt. The price for a wood replacement is outrageous and most of the synthetics don't fit on the older models. I received this stock and didn't expect it to fit but, to my surprise, it fit perfectly and is a great product. Thanks for providing an inexpensive but rock solid stock replacement that will breathe new life into my old 742!
stock was is great shape for being used will get many years out of it my son will use it in a few years
My father gave me his 742 woodmaster that he was given at a younger age by my granddad .After giving it a good cleaning I bought a Leupold scope for it at my local wallyworld and took it to the range to sight it in. The rifle shot like a dream, no misfires,no jams, just a bang every time. the gun had less than 10 shots fired through it when it was given to me.
As others have stated, this fits the 742 Woodmaster with little to no modification. The only decision you'll have to make is to keep the butt stock bearing plate that came with the original wood stock (flat piece of metal between the stock and receiver; looks like an oddly shaped washer). Without the bearing plate, the synthetic stock fits flush. With it, there is a 1/8th inch gap between the stock and receiver. I see that some people sanded the stock down to accommodate the plate.
i love it makes my 30-06 pop and its very solid i would buy it again word word word word
Before I purchased this, I saw on line in many cases where ads stated that the 7400 model stock set would not fit the 740 models. Well, I did some more research and found that to be false. I have a Remington 740 Woodsmaster in .308 cal. I didn't want another standard stock because mine was in good shape to begin with but the Monte Carlo stock with the raised cheek rest intrigued me.It fit very well and was a 99% match to the original.
Answer: yes
