old Remington 721 in Hollands' Super 30.....UPDATE

[Rembo]

while looking for 700's I came across this old girl that called my name....I couldn't resist......a 721 in 300 H&H.......

date code is KXX, which is May 1951

has 26" tube, stock has no major dings, bore is shiny as the day it left the factory. With a new recoil pad and a cleanup it'll work.
I adjusted the trigger to 2-1/2lbs, not sure if I'll try the old ScopeChief 4X with Command Post or stick one of my standby 3-9X Leupys on it, or I do have a nice older 3-9X Redfield here that would look good on it.
I had a rear sight in my parts pile I put on it...have a front site too,..maybe I'll swap it on for looks, doubt if I'll use the irons.
Haven't found any brass or loaded ammo yet, tried P&D and WSS.

Years ago a friend had one - great rifle.

Imagine the stories it could tell.

Old rifles need love too.

Nice Find.

I have a 721 in a 300 savage. shoots very well. I am sure you will like that find.

 

[Crashman]

Nope, no good! Send it to me so you dont have to suffer through ownership of such a fine ...er I mean...obsolete cartridge and rifle!

 

[BigUglyMan]

I've got a soft spot for the Holland Super 30.

 

[Jeff/1911]

Nice find, Rick! Let us know how it shoots, once you get a chance to try it out.

I wonder if Blair at Lock & Load might have some fodder...

Did you pick that one up in Ontario by chance? I saw one listed for $395...

Neat rifle. Looks pretty cherry in the pics....great score, congrats!

Had a 722 in .257 Roberts......loved that rifle. Should NEVER have let it go.....oh the things we did back in the '80's.....

 

[goatdancer]

I have a 721 in .270. Not a fancy gun but sure shoots well. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours.

 

[Rembo]

I've had a few 722's, three of them in 244 one in 257 Roberts and one in 308 and a 721 in 270 that I rebarreled to 30-06AI. They are good old rifles.

Wish I'd kept the Roberts and the last 244 I had...it was a beauty.

I'll try to hang on to this one......but I've said that before....

I bought my old 721 300 in 1969 for $125 also with an old Bushnell 4x.
To this day it is still one of the most accurate rifles I've ever had.

Nice old rifle Rick!

That is a good find. I too have had (and still own) several 721s and a 722. I love them all. My favorite is my grandfather's old 722 in 222 Rem. It too has a 26" pipe and I still have the original Weaver K8 AO scope that grandpa ordered for it back in the mid 1950s. Let us know how it shoots.

Of all the belted 300 mags, that's the one to own. She may be old, but she's still pretty as peaches.

Beautiful!

I've seen about 3 in my life, all had been rechambered to 300 Weatherby.

I've got a 700 Classic in 300 H&H. Great caliber.
Almost as classic as a 300 WSM.
