I Have This Old Gun: Remington Model 720 Rifle

[@easttexan2933]

Love how the old guy closes his eyes before he pulls the trigger. As I always say, 'if you scared, just say so" lol

Great publication on history, thanks.

I’ve got two of these in .30-‘06 … (thanks dad!)

[@charlesnash2748]

Interesting that they left the slot in the rear of the action for stripper clip feeding, a feature that dates back to the military Enfield.

I have one of these rifles in 30-06 and its my favorite bolt gun.

[@Sparaco487]

I'll happily take one or as many as i can

[@jasonsimone3523]

Actually it's the predecessor to the Remington 721

[@johnbowhunter7676]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@steelgila]

I want that front sight!

The US Navy did not produce the 720, but did take all unsold production of the rifles when Remington went over to war production. No 720s were produced after 1942. The first two digits of the rifle's serial number are the year of production. IMHO, the Remington 720 is the most beautiful of all American production sporting rifles. Its Enfield based action allows for very fast follow up shots.

I have one in 270 that’s been used but taken care of. How much is something like that worth?

[@rickeyhooper9815]

😊I have a 721 made in 1947 . In 270 . Tack driver.

[@mercinary110]

My neighbor just got one of these today lol

[@dennisking4589]

Grandpa gave me the 270 caliber.

I'll pay $47.95 if that's what it's listed for .
