It has been my experience that an older 742 in exe condition and few rounds through it can be a very reliable and accurate semi. I've owned two now and I really liked them. Sold both only because I made money on them. Now, on the
"new and improved" 750 ... I can tell you for certain that it ain't really new and it's definitely not improved. Everyone I know who has one hates it and can't get it to cycle (two friends one acquaintance). I'd take a well=preserved 742 over a new 750 any day.
But against a BAR? No contest. If you have to have a semi there is really only one smart choice for most of us. If I had a semi hunter again it'd be browning for sure.
