If you're going to go with a semi-auto system I would go with an AR-10, M1A (even a polytech), or a FNAR any day over a 7400. Yes, it's worth the extra money.
If you're using it for deer, you shouldn't need more than 1 shot. If you're using it for target...then we have more to worry about.
EDIT: Ok haha, I looked at their website. I don't think Remington ever had intentions of the 7400 looking like some of those that they put together lol.
