I have done reseasrch on the 742 .308 because I own one.The ability to shoot over 300-400 yrd.you would be really reaching over the far outer limits of that rifle.If you know your rifle maybe 250yrd. any thing over that I half to agree, that is bolt action territory. these gun were made for the average hunter. and have the capeability to follow up your shot if need be. there are minor adjustments that can help you gain accuracy with it's effective kill range. Optics, trigger work,rifle stock, breathing, and fitting of the rifle to it's shooter. And as the man said practice,practice,practice, one more thing to help avoid jamming and reduce the wear and tear on the bolt system, use a 150-160 grn bullet and clean these rifles they respond well to the care. some of these suggestions could help your 742 .308 or 30-06 live a longer life for you to enjoy the rifle. good luck,
ps this answer may be to late but I thought it might help any way.

There have never been any recalls on the Remington Model 742 that I'm aware of. The Remington 742 is now an obsolete model and was replaced with the Remington Model 7400. The bolt received an upgraded design along with the magazine catch/release. At one time Remington was offering a Model 7400 as a replacement for the Model 742, if you sent them your Model 742 along with $350.00. Is there a problem with the 742 that you have?
Impossible to answer without knowing the caliber, bullet weight, barrel length.
As with any firearm, value will depend upon condition. A used Remington Model 742 in .308 (a desireable chambering) will vary in value from $US 250 in fair condition to as high as $US 600 in New In the Box condition. Yours in average condition will probably value at $US 400, depending upon the market in your area.
$234
