Model 740

[Bruce Mc]

First post on the forum. I been picking up a few older Remingtons here and there and I recently ran across a 740 in .244 Remington that according to the barrel marks is a December 1956 manufacture. It has a plain stock. I have not been able to find another .244 on line anywhere. Does anyone know how many of these were made or any other information. Its a very clean rifle and looks "cool". I hope it will shoot o.k.
