Answer 1

Remington Model 740 Woodmaster 30-06 caliber Semi-Automatic Rifle, 22" Barrel, Open Sights, Box Magazine,Gas Operated, Plain Pistol Grip Stock Manufactured 1955-1959

Current market value for Good to Excellent Condition
$220-$300

*Your Weaver Scope is hard to put a value on but I can tell from your description it is one of the "Older" more desirable Weaver Scopes...I would say the scope itself is easily worth $60-$80 or more by itself.......

Answer 2

I owned a 742 30-06 for a while...never had to fire a second shot in the woods. Remington built a couple of semi-auto actions that were a little hard to take down for cleaning... the 742 was one of them...the Speedmaster 22 was another. Any unchecked build up of crud, mung, carbon or other residues (like all that congealed oil inside... that we doused into an action with hopes it would run to the right place) will lock up any semi-auto action sooner or later. "5 minutes to close the action".... exactly, at what point did you decide you had a problem... any future breakage you have in this rifle will be your problem. IF you want to own a close fitting, precision piece of equipment learn to maintain it. Tommy Smothers once said, "if it doesnt fit- force it" and got the stink eye from his brother, Dickie.

Answer 3

Weaver scopes made in the USA (1933- 1983) have become very collectable.

They will clearly have on the tube "El Paso, Texas".

As JD says, the scope itself, in very good working condition, could be approaching a hundred in value just by itself.
