The Remington Model 742 Woodsmaster Carbine with 18.5-inch barrel and .30-06 chambering was built for hunters in dense timber who needed a more maneuverable semi-auto. The shorter barrel sacrificed roughly 75 fps of velocity compared to the full-length model but vastly improved handling in thick brush. Type: Semi-Auto Rifle Action: Gas-Operated Caliber: .30-06 Sprg Capacity: 4 Year introduced: 1961, USA Weight: 7.25 oz Overall length: 39" Status: Discontinued Intended use: Hunting
