The Remington Model 742 was made from 1960 until 1980, and it was replaced by the Model 7400 in 1981.

That's probably a first year production 1960, buy you can verify that and get the month as well by looking at the date stamp the location of which and the codes can be found here: http://remingtonsociety.com/rsa/questions/barrelcodes
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?
Yes.
Check the date code stamp on the barrel, see related links for information on the Remington Society of America.
Your remington model 742 rifle is valued at between 275-350 dollars.
AnswerI found on Remington Arms website that the serial number was made between 1951-1967 1,000-541,000Model 742 was only made from 1960-1980 so yours would have been made between 1960 - 1967. That narrows it down a little bit for you.
It has a Gold Eagle with the Year 1776-1976
Some parts at Gunparts.com can be found. Mags are hard to get.
